Bitcoin ETFs Show ‘Staying Power,’ Top Analyst Says

As an experienced financial analyst, I’ve closely followed the trends in the cryptocurrency market, particularly Bitcoin and Ethereum exchange-traded funds (ETFs). The recent streak of inflows into these products is truly remarkable.


Based on the analysis of renowned expert Eric Balchunas, Bitcoin ETFs have proven their durability.

These products have seen a consistent increase in inflows for the past 15 days, matching the performance of leading ETFs.

According to Balchunas, it is uncommon for Bitcoin to recover with increased enthusiasm following significant market downturns.

Nate Gerani, an ETF analyst, reports that the iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) has recently exceeded the milestone of $20 billion in assets it manages. This significant achievement was reached within just under five months, making it the fastest record to date.

On Monday, Bitcoin ETFs recorded a total inflow of approximately $105 million. Among them, Fidelity’s product was the top performer with about $77 million in new investments. Balchunas expressed his perspective, “Unyielding. My sympathies to those opposed to crypto; this trend must be painful.”

Recently, an analyst pointed out that approximately two-thirds of Fidelity’s total inflows in Bitcoin-related products are attributed to their Bitcoin ETF. On the other hand, BlackRock’s IBIT is responsible for over a quarter of all recorded inflows to asset management offerings under BlackRock’s umbrella.

As a researcher studying the investment trends in Bitcoin Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs) based in Hong Kong, I’ve noticed some significant inflows on Monday, totaling approximately $31.73 million. This is a new record for these ETFs since their launch. Initially, these funds struggled to perform well following their highly anticipated debut.

As a crypto investor, I’m keeping a close eye on the recent trend of Bitcoin inflows. However, it’s important to note that whether this ongoing influx of funds will be enough for Bitcoin to surpass the $70,000 threshold remains uncertain at this point.

Currently, there’s ongoing debate among analysts regarding imminent Ethereum Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs) set to debut in the US market. Nevertheless, JPMorgan anticipates these ETFs will draw in fewer investments than initially projected.
