Leading the pack were BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) and the Fidelity Wise Origin Bitcoin Fund (FBTC), which saw inflows of $120 million and $115.1 million, respectively, according to Farside Investors data. Bitwise Bitcoin ETF followed with $28.4 million, while Grayscale Bitcoin Trust (GBTC) noted a rare inflow day of $23 million. Other ETFs, such as the VanEck Bitcoin Trust ETF and Invesco Galaxy Bitcoin ETF, recorded $6 million and $4 million in inflows, respectively.
This significant inflow contributed to a combined $1.04 billion intake for Bitcoin ETFs over the week. Since their inception over six months ago, these ETFs have accumulated $15.8 billion in net inflows. This includes over $18.6 billion in outflows from Grayscale’s flagship Bitcoin product, which was converted into spot form following the U.S. securities regulator’s approval in January. Notably, the Hashdex Bitcoin ETF (DEFI) experienced a net outflow of $2 million, the only other spot Bitcoin ETF to do so.
Despite these inflows, Bitcoin's price has seen a modest 1.1% increase over the last 24 hours, currently trading at $57,858, according to CoinGecko. However, it remains down nearly 15% over the past month and is over 21% below its all-time high.
Looking ahead, several Bitcoin ETF issuers are preparing to launch spot Ether (ETH) ETFs, which could debut as early as next week. These issuers await approval from the U.S. securities regulator for their amended S-1 registration statements, following initial feedback received last month.
With the strong performance of Bitcoin ETFs and the potential launch of spot Ether ETFs, the cryptocurrency market continues to evolve, offering new opportunities for investors.
