Bitcoin ETFs Record Shockingly High Inflows

As a researcher with a background in financial markets and experience in analyzing ETF trends, I find the recent surge in net inflows for spot-based Bitcoin ETFs truly remarkable. With Fidelity’s Wise Origin Bitcoin Fund leading the charge at $379 million, it’s clear that institutional investors are showing renewed interest in Bitcoin as an asset class.


On Tuesday, there was a massive inflow of approximately $887 million into spot-based exchange-traded funds (ETFs). This is the second largest one-day intake they have received since they began trading in January.

As an analyst, I would put it this way: I discovered that the Fidelity Wise Origin Bitcoin Fund (FBTC) saw impressive inflows totaling $379 million.

Eric Balchunas, a leading ETF analyst, remarked on X social media that The Ten are experiencing substantial inflows amounting to almost a billion dollars in total today from Fidelity.

Over the past period, BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust experienced an influx of approximately $274 million in investments. The ARK 21Shares Bitcoin ETF (ARKB) recorded impressive inflows totaling around $139 million.

In terms of asset holdings, the Bitwise Bitcoin ETF (BITB) and the Grayscale Bitcoin Trust (GBTC) rank fourth and fifth, holding approximately $61 million and $28 million in Bitcoin respectively.

US-based spot Bitcoin ETFs have now recorded 16 days of uninterrupted inflows. 

Analyst Balchunas observed that Bitcoin ETFs have proven resilient following a series of outflows in April. Now, he predicts, this trend is escalating into a substantial surge in investments – a “tidal wave” of inflows.

As a crypto investor, I’ve come to expect that inflows and outflows are a natural part of investing in ETFs, according to ETF analyst James Seyffart.

As a crypto investor, I understand that ETFs experience inflows and outflows regularly. This is a normal aspect of their operation. While it’s impossible to predict exactly when they will occur, I can assure you that there will be periods of outflows for these specific ETFs throughout the future. A recent example of this occurred in April.

As a crypto investor, I’m observing that the leading cryptocurrency is presently priced at around $71,170 following a nearly 3% price increase in the last 24 hours. At the moment, Bitcoin seems to be continuing its pattern of range-bound trading. Mike Novogratz, CEO of Galaxy Digital, shared his perspective that for Bitcoin to reach the anticipated $100,000 mark by year’s end, it first needs to surpass the significant resistance level at $73,000.
