Bitcoin ETFs Inflows Overshadow Outflows
During this period, the 12 spot Bitcoin ETFs experienced a significant influx of funds, amounting to $475.15 million, following four consecutive days of outflows that saw over $1.5 billion leave the funds. Fidelity’s FBTC led the way with inflows of $254.37 million, closely followed by ARK 21Shares’ ARKB, which attracted $186.94 million in inflows.
Other notable contributors to the positive momentum included BlackRock’s IBIT, with an inflow of $56.51 million, and Grayscale Bitcoin Mini Trust and VanEck’s HODL, which recorded more modest inflows of $7.19 million and $2.7 million, respectively. However, some of the inflows were offset by outflows from Grayscale’s GBTC and Bitwise’s BITB, which experienced withdrawals of $24.23 million and $8.32 million, respectively.
