BNY Mellon, the oldest and most established bank in the US managing $59 trillion, examined Bitcoin and ETFs! Investors are employing this strategy!

Bitcoin (BTC) has experienced significant declines in recent months, falling as low as $60,000 in February.

These declines also negatively impacted US spot ETFs, resulting in significant outflows.

However, the positive momentum seen in Bitcoin and the market has also been reflected in inflows into ETFs.

At this point, BNY Mellon, one of the oldest banks in the US, noted that spot Bitcoin ETFs are experiencing a buy-and-hold trend.

Speaking to The Block, Ben Slavin, head of BNY Mellon’s ETF division, stated that spot Bitcoin ETFs have seen net inflows this year and are generally back in positive territory.

Salavin said that spot Bitcoin ETFs have seen net inflows year-to-date due to the ‘buy and hold’ trend.

A BNY Mellon official noted that as of April 23, total daily inflows for the 12 spot Bitcoin ETFs exceeded $335 million, while monthly inflows surpassed $2.1 billion.

Slavin explained that those who invest in Bitcoin ETFs show a stronger tendency to hold onto their assets during price declines compared to those who invest in other risky assets.

He also added that ETF investors are implementing portfolio allocation and “Buy and Hold” strategies instead of short-term trading.

Bloomberg Senior ETF Analyst Eric Balchunas’s post regarding ETFs also supports this view. According to Balchunas, all flow metrics are trending positively for the first time in months, and Bitcoin ETFs are on the rise again.

In a post on Balchunas X, he said, “Every period we’ve been tracking is now positive, we haven’t seen this in months.”

Currently, the total assets under management (AUM) of the 12 Bitcoin spot ETFs is approximately $125 billion. This figure reached an all-time high of $162 billion in October 2025.
