Spot Bitcoin ETFs Witness $323.90 Million Inflows
Spot Bitcoin ETFs ended the week with $323.90 million inflows on Friday, slightly lower than the $477 million Bitcoin ETF inflow on Thursday. The Bitcoin ETFs typically have high net inflow on last trading days of the week, but a possible supply crunch over high demand and fewer Bitcoin sellers caused a slowdown.
Bitcoin ETF Net Inflows
According to the latest data by BitMEX Research, spot Bitcoin ETFs saw $323.90 million net inflow on Friday. Following the latest inflow, Bitcoin ETFs have now recorded a net inflow of nearly 5 billion. It means over 100,000 BTCs have moved into spot Bitcoin ETFs since launch.
BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin ETF (IBIT) saw another enormous inflow of $191.4 million on Friday, with the total inflow to date surpassing $5.36 billion. IBIT leads by a wide margin, with BTC holdings of more than 119.6K valued at over $6.2 billion.
On Friday, Ark 21Shares Bitcoin ETF (ARKB) recorded second highest inflow of $140 million. Followed by $116.7 million in Fidelity Bitcoin ETF (FBTC) and $20.9 million in Bitwise Bitcoin ETF (BITB).
Grayscale Investments’ GBTC witnessed $150.4 million outflow, slowing from Thursday’s outflow of $174.6 million. Thus, the net inflow for spot Bitcoin ETFs, excluding GBTC, was actually $474.3 million. Meanwhile, GBTC net outflow has now surpassed 7 billion.
BTC Price Steady at $52K
BTC price moving range bound near the $52K level, with the price currently trading at $51,944. The 24-hour low and high are $51,641 and $52,537, respectively. Price movements were volatile after the US PPI release on Friday.
Furthermore, the trading volume has decreased further by 28% in the last 24 hours, indicating a decline in interest among traders as price moves sideways. Analysts predicted sideways or down movements in the next few days.
The significant inflow into BTC ETFs is poised to impact the crypto market dynamics profoundly. On-chain data providers, including CryptoQuant, suggest that the sustained buying pressure from these ETFs could propel Bitcoin’s price to new heights.
