Tuesday Sees $305M in Inflows Into U.S. Spot Bitcoin ETFs
Amidst the excitement around proposed spot ethereum ETFs, spot bitcoin ETFs drew $305.7 million in inflows during Tuesday’s trading sessions. Only two funds, Blackrock’s IBIT and Fidelity’s FBTC, contributed to these inflows. IBIT took the majority share with 94.86%, equating to $280 million, while FBTC brought in just under $26 million. The remaining spot bitcoin ETFs experienced a neutral day with no inflows or outflows.
Currently, IBIT holds 281,883.90 BTC, closely trailing Grayscale’s Bitcoin Trust, which holds 289,511.90 BTC. This means Blackrock’s bitcoin fund needs only 7,628 BTC, valued at $536 million, to match GBTC’s reserves. GBTC, IBIT, and Fidelity’s FBTC are the only funds with over 100,000 BTC. At present, FBTC secures 159,548.77 BTC, with an estimated value of $11.21 billion.
The sustained inflows into spot bitcoin ETFs, particularly driven by Blackrock‘s IBIT on Tuesday, underscores strong investor confidence in the crypto ecosystem amid the surrounding hype for ethereum ETFs. As IBIT narrows the gap with GBTC, the dynamics within the bitcoin ETF landscape suggest a competitive race for dominance.
