US Bitcoin ETFs Continue to Attract Strong Institutional Interest, with Inflows Totaling Nearly $2 Billion in the Week Ending May 2

US-based spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) have continued to draw strong institutional interest, with inflows totaling nearly $2 billion in the week

US-based spot Bitcoin (BTC) exchange-traded funds (ETFs) continued to draw strong institutional interest, with inflows amounting to nearly $2 billion in the week ending May 2, according to data from Farside Investors.

* This marks the second consecutive week of significant net inflows in the current quarter.

* In the week ending April 25, US Bitcoin ETFs saw $3.06 billion in inflows.

* The momentum continued in the following week, with another $1.81 billion being added by May 2.

* As of the latest reporting period, US-listed Bitcoin ETF products collectively hold $113.15 billion in assets under management.

This sustained institutional demand could be a tailwind for Bitcoin Pepe (BPEP), which is strategically positioned to benefit from capital flows during a speculative market upswing.

A rally in Bitcoin typically lifts overall market sentiment, attracting sidelined capital back into the crypto ecosystem and reigniting interest in altcoins, especially meme tokens, which flourish during such times.

Bitcoin Pepe is the first meme-focused Layer 2 solution on the Bitcoin network, combining Bitcoin’s security with Solana-like scalability. Its unique value proposition—operating at the crossroads of robust Bitcoin infrastructure and meme-fueled speculation—makes it well-suited to absorb capital inflows if Bitcoin’s momentum revives broader risk appetite.

The opportunity in Bitcoin Pepe can be viewed as a convergence of two dominant forces in crypto. As the project describes it:

"It's no secret that two of the biggest trends in crypto right now are meme coins and the move to Bitcoin. Bitcoin Pepe combines both!"

Momentum in the Bitcoin Pepe presale is building rapidly, with over $7.6 million raised to date and investor demand showing no signs of slowing.

Introducing the PEP-20 token standard, the project enables the deployment of meme coins natively on the Bitcoin blockchain—a novel approach that aligns with the growing appetite for speculative assets backed by credible infrastructure.

The presale, structured across 30 stages with approximately 5% price increases per phase, has seen BPEP's price climb from $0.021 to $0.031 in stage 9, delivering over 40% returns for early participants.

Stage 10 will commence once total contributions surpass $7.78 million. In the next stage, the BPEP token will be priced at $0.0326.

Each round has been closing faster than the last, a trend that reflects accelerating speculative interest.

If this trajectory holds, BPEP is expected to reach $0.0864 by the final stage, suggesting potential triple-digit returns for early backers.
