Up till now, IBIT keeps registering inflows which has contributed in helping it retain its leading position in the ETF market. On Tuesday, BlackRock’s IBIT registered zero inflows, which shows neutral interest from their institutional clients. However, its trading volume hit $1 billion as key competitors registered outflows.
BlackRock’s IBIT currently has more than 300,000 BTC in AUM and the holding is currently valued at approximately $18.4 billion based on the market value of the coin at this time.
Other spot Bitcoin ETF issuers are equally doing well, judging by the inflows that the ecosystem has seen in recent times. On June 26, Bitcoin ETF flows were positive, totaling over $21 million. Fidelity Investments led the influx while BlackRock remained stagnant. Moreover, Grayscale’s GBTC registered positive flows after an extensive outflow streak.
