“Third largest inflow since market debut,” James Seyffart, an ETF analyst at Bloomberg Intelligence, wrote in a post on X.

Bitcoin has gained nearly 10% in a week, but analysts say there is still room for it to rise.

Alex Kuptsikevich, senior market analyst at FxPro, told CoinDesk that Bitcoin is poised to rise after regaining its 50-day moving average.

10X Research's Markus Thielen said earlier this week that Bitcoin's near-term target is $48,000 due to strong gains around the Chinese New Year. In the medium term, we predict that it will reach $52,000 in March, completing the fifth wave of the uptrend.
