Bitcoin ETFs Gain Momentum with $17 Billion Inflows
US spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) have attracted over $17 billion in net inflows after a successful trading week. Recent data from Farside reveals that these funds saw a significant rise in investor interest, with BlackRock’s IBIT and Fidelity’s FBTC leading the inflow surge.
- BlackRock’s IBIT attracted $18.9 billion since January
- Grayscale’s GBTC witnessed large outflows amid US Bitcoin ETF boom
- Fidelity’s FBTC garnered over $9.9 billion in Bitcoin over six months

Fidelity’s FBTC also contributed to the overall trend with substantial inflows. ARK Invest’s ARKB, Bitwise’s BITB, and other funds like VanEck’s HODL and Valkyrie’s BRRR saw growing investor interest in Bitcoin.
- ARK Invest’s ARKB received $2.6 billion in net inflows
- Grayscale’s GBTC recorded $18.7 billion in net outflows
- Investors shifting from GBTC to spot Bitcoin ETFs due to lower fees
Shifting Trends in the Crypto Market
The approval of US spot Bitcoin ETFs has led to a shift in investor capital from GBTC to these new offerings. Grayscale’s management fee of 1.5% for its Grayscale Bitcoin Trust is considered expensive, making it less attractive compared to competitors.
- Grayscale outflows linked to liquidation by bankrupt crypto firms
- US spot Bitcoin ETFs gained $16.59 billion in net inflows
- Investors seeking exposure to cryptocurrencies driving ETF interest
Big Investors Show Interest in Bitcoin ETFs
Bloomberg ETF analyst Eric Balchunas highlights the institutional interest in Bitcoin ETFs as a significant indicator of adoption. The net inflows into Bitcoin ETFs remain strong regardless of price fluctuations in the crypto market.
- ETF inflows independent of Bitcoin’s price movements
- Bitcoin price up by 12.5% to $67,500 in recent weeks
- Easing selling pressure from the German government boosts Bitcoin’s momentum
Hot Take: Bitcoin’s Resilience Amid Market Challenges
The recent surge in Bitcoin’s price and the growing popularity of spot Bitcoin ETFs demonstrate the resilience of the cryptocurrency despite market challenges. Institutional interest continues to drive investments in Bitcoin as the digital asset gains mainstream acceptance.
