New Bitcoin ETF Inflows Drive Market Growth
A surge in Bitcoin ETF establishment resulted in a massive inflow of over $631 million on February 13. This influx occurred alongside a decline in GBTC redemptions, as investors shifted their preference to spot Bitcoin ETFs. This change has played a role in pushing the price of Bitcoin back up after a stagnant period. In May 2021, Bitcoin finally crossed the $51,000 mark.
Unprecedented Inflows and Market Impact
On February 13, spot Bitcoin ETFs experienced record inflows, with nine providers raising $704 million. BlackRock, the leading global investment management corporation, accounted for 70% of these inflows, totaling $493 million. This demonstrates a growing demand for crypto-backed exchange-traded funds.
