The BlackRock Bitcoin ETF (IBIT) saw its inflows decrease to a new low of $45.2 million, while Fidelity’s FBTC also experienced a drop in inflow of $37.7 million. However, Bitcoin ETFs from Bitwise, Ark 21 Shares, VanEck, and WisdomTree saw an increase in inflows.
Grayscale Outflows Slow Down
Grayscale’s GBTC witnessed a record low outflow of $72.7 million since the approval of spot Bitcoin ETF by the U.S. SEC on January 11. This decrease in outflows indicates a potential end to the mass exodus from the Bitcoin ETF and could have a positive impact on the crypto market and Bitcoin price.
