Bitcoin ETFs See $411 Million Inflows After Goldman Sachs Filing – Total AUM Hits $96.5 Billion

Quick overview

US spot Bitcoin ETFs got a massive influx of $411.5 million on Tuesday, April 13th 2026 as the news was released that Goldman Sachs was filing for a new Bitcoin ETF. This surge in funds really gave the market a boost and fresh institutional demand and the confirmation that a new ETF was coming from Goldman Sachs boosted market confidence even more. This surge put year-to-date net flows back in the black at $245 million, and more importantly sent the total assets under management to a whopping $96.5 billion – the highest since mid March.

Bitcoin made a small jump above $75,000 for a bit before dropping back below $74,000, which in a way shows that the market is still a bit jumpy and that people are still getting used to the renewed demand even though volatility is still pretty high.

Strong Inflows Really Picked Up for Bitcoin ETFs

Bitcoin exchange traded funds were the place to be on Tuesday with major issuers all seeing a huge surge in buying interest. BlackRock’s IBIT was the big winner with $214 million in inflows, followed pretty closely by ARK 21Shares with $113 million and Fidelity with $45 million. Not a single ETF actually had outflows that day, which really shows how much institutional money was behind it all.

• IBIT was on a five day winning streak which had added up to a massive $696 million
• Morgan Stanley Bitcoin Trust picked up $84 million as the demand just keeps going up
• Pretty much all of the issuers saw inflows, which really shows how much interest there is in Bitcoin right now

The Crypto Fear & Greed Index went up to 20 or above, which is a sign that the market is recovering from recent risk aversion.

Institutional Interest Really Took Off With Goldman Sachs Entry

The latest wave of inflows just so happens to coincide with Goldman Sachs filing for a new Bitcoin linked ETF. This really marks a big first for Wall Street getting more and more involved with digital assets. Similar to what Morgan Stanley has been doing, this really shows how more and more traditional finance companies are starting to take notice of Bitcoin as a possible portfolio asset. With spot ETFs already raking in nearly $97 billion, new entrants could really drive up competition, liquidity and sustained inflow cycles if demand stays steady even with all the uncertainty around.

Altcoin ETFs Followed The Same Trend

Inflows weren’t limited to just Bitcoin ETFs though – altcoin ones also saw a push upwards. Ether products were the clear winners with $53 million coming in, while XRP saw $11 million coming in. Solana and Dogecoin both saw some inflows too albeit on a much smaller scale.

• Ether is still the number one ETF magnet for institutional investors when it comes to altcoins
• XRP is still seeing steady demand, which is impressive given the regulatory issues surrounding it
• Dogecoin ETFs show that there’s still interest in meme coins among niche investors

The fact that so many different types of ETFs saw inflows really suggests that the crypto market as a whole is doing well and not just Bitcoin.

Bitcoin Price Action

Bitcoin’s jump above $75,000 highlights that ETF driven demand is still what’s driving the market. The fact that it’s still driven by liquidity bursts and not sustained directional conviction is clear. Analysts are attributing the inflows as a short term catalyst, especially considering the macro conditions are stabilising and institutional allocations are starting to increase. But traders are still being cautious and looking for a sign of what’s to come from the current volatility.
