Spot Bitcoin ETFs Mark Record-Breaking Inflows Of $1.05 Bln

On March 12, data from SoSoValue revealed a remarkable net inflow of $1.05 billion into Spot BTC ETFs. This surge in inflow coincided with the second-highest volume day for the 10 Bitcoin ETFs, marking the best performance in the past five weeks with a total of $8.5 billion traded.

BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin ETF experienced a record-breaking inflow of $849 million, surpassing its previous highest inflow. This influx propelled BlackRock’s net inflow to over $11.44 billion, while its asset holdings surged to $14.5 billion.

Meanwhile, the Fidelity Bitcoin ETF and Ark 21Shares (ARKB) BTC ETF attracted inflows of $51.6 million and $93 million, respectively. Other Spot BTC ETFs, including Bitwise’s BITB, saw relatively lower inflows. Whilst, the VanEck Bitcoin ETF experienced an inflow of $82.9 million, partly attributed to its 0% fees strategy amidst intensified competition.

Additionally, Grayscale’s GBTC recorded another outflow of $79 million. The drop in outflows is attributed to a decline in Genesis’ GBTC selloffs, which are nearing their conclusion. Crypto lender Genesis obtained bankruptcy court approval to sell 35 million GBTC shares valued at $1.3 billion. Notably, the net outflow from GBTC to date has surpassed $11.12 billion.
