Bitcoin ETFs add $251M as Goldman Sachs tops XRP ETF holders

US spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) saw increased inflows on Tuesday, even as $BTC dipped below $70,000.

Spot Bitcoin ($BTC) ETFs recorded $251 million in inflows, building on Monday’s $167 million in gains, according to SoSoValue data.

The inflows continue a positive trend in March, with cumulative monthly gains now at $1.56 billion versus $576.6 million in outflows.

The inflows came despite Bitcoin briefly falling to $69,400 on Tuesday, according to CoinGecko. It traded at $69,810 at the time of writing, down 0.7% over the past 24 hours.
