Spot bitcoin ETFs continue net inflows after a rough last pre-halving week

Quick Take

  • While spot bitcoin ETFs saw net outflows prior to Bitcoin’s block-reward halving, they have since resumed net inflows.
  • FBTC was the biggest winner yesterday — bringing in a net $34.83 million.

After breaking a five-day streak of consecutive net outflows on Friday — when the foremost cryptocurrency's block rewards officially halved — spot bitcoin exchange-traded funds in the United States recorded another day of net inflows on Monday.

The total net inflow for spot Bitcoin ETFs yesterday was just over $62 million, with the Fidelity Wise Origin Bitcoin Fund garnering the most significant single-day net inflow at $34.83 million, according to data from SoSoValue.

At the same time, the ARK 21Shares Bitcoin ETF brought in more than $22.5 million in net inflows, and The iShares Bitcoin Trust brought in the third-largest net inflow yesterday with $19.65 million.

The Grayscale Bitcoin Trust expectedly saw the largest single-day net outflow — which has often overpowered all other ETFs' net inflows. Nearly $35 million in net outflows left the product yesterday.

Since their listings, U.S.-traded spot bitcoin ETFs have brought in a cumulative total net inflow of $12.38 billion. Meanwhile, cumulative spot bitcoin ETF volumes topped $226 billion at last week's close, according to The Block's data.
