Invesco and VanEck Show Consistent Growth
Invesco’s ETF (BTCO) holds the third position and has experienced consistent growth. On Friday, it recorded its highest daily inflow of over $63 million. However, its total assets under management have not yet crossed the $200 million mark. VanEck’s ETF (HODL) also had a strong day for inflows, pushing its total assets under management above $100 million.
High Trading Volume for Spot Bitcoin ETFs
Friday witnessed the third-highest trading volume among spot bitcoin ETFs so far. Data from The Block indicates that GBTC captured the majority of this volume.
