Iranian conflict未抑制 buying interest! Bitcoin spot ETF inflows of $458 million in a single day

As the United States and Israel launch military strikes against Iran, and tensions in the Middle East rapidly escalate, the U.S. Bitcoin spot ETF saw a net inflow of $458 million on Tuesday, marking one of the biggest single-day fund inflows this quarter and pushing Bitcoin's price close to the $70,000 mark. This indicates that investors are not retreating entirely due to geopolitical risks.

This strong influx of capital also reflects the mindset of Wall Street giants and institutional investors: in the face of sharp price volatility caused by the conflict, most institutional investors see this as a "localized and controllable" short-term impact rather than a "systemic risk" that could shake the financial system.

Singapore-based crypto asset trading firm QCP Capital recently noted in its market report that weekend geopolitical tensions led to the forced liquidation of $300 million in long positions. Although significant, the scale remains within manageable limits.

QCP Capital explained that market positions have been significantly reduced over the past few weeks, with lower leverage levels and cleaner positions, preventing more severe chain liquidations.

The report also mentioned that the options market reflects a calm sentiment. Data showed that Bitcoin's single-day "implied volatility" spiked to 93% at one point but then quickly retreated, indicating that traders are mainly engaging in short-term hedging against sudden events rather than fearing prolonged escalation of the geopolitical conflict and turning fully bearish on the market.
