BlackRock has been leading all its competitors by a wide margin, with total inflow crossing $5.17 billion and BTC holdings of 115,991.3 valued over $6 billion.

Bitcoin High Demand Concerns

Vetle Lunde, senior analyst at K33 Research on Friday said the net U.S. spot ETF flow has now surpassed 100,000 BTC. This is equal to two-thirds of the annualized reduction in BTC issuance after the upcoming halving.

Bitcoin maximalist Samson Mow raised concerns over high demand from spot Bitcoin ETFs. He said “This level of demand is not sustainable at current Bitcoin prices.”

The demand has crossed 10x supply, with more from other sources. MicroStrategy’s Michael Saylor also pointed out 10x demand than supply dynamics in a recent interview.
