Fact Check
None of the listed primary sources give a direct and authoritative confirmation of the exact $225.2 million figure for U.S. spot Bitcoin and Ethereum ETF net inflows on March 4. However, industry-aligned sources such as BTC Markets and 21Shares maintain official ETF data pages and generally report positive inflows around early March consistent with strong market demand for digital asset ETFs. The statement fits the observed pattern of high inflows following the approval and launch of spot crypto ETFs in the U.S., and no credible source contradicts the claim. The lack of aggregated, date-specific data from the most authoritative institution slightly lowers certainty, but based on contextual consistency and plausible supporting information, the statement is assessed as likely true with medium confidence.
Summary

On March 3, Bitcoin spot ETFs saw $225 million in net inflows, with BlackRock’s IBIT leading with $322 million in inflows. In contrast, Fidelity’s FBTC experienced a $89.3 million outflow. The total Bitcoin spot ETF assets reached $87.58 billion, with cumulative inflows totaling $55.48 billion.
