On Wednesday, U.S.-listed spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded $75.4 million in inflows, breaking a five-day streak of outflows. The increase in investments followed Bitcoin’s price recovery, reaching $92,000 before slightly retreating. BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) led the way, pulling in $60.6 million in inflows.
BlackRock’s Bitcoin ETF Leads with $60.6 Million in Inflows
BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) saw the most significant influx of capital on Wednesday. The fund attracted $60.6 million, though it struggled to recover from the $523 million in outflows recorded the day before. Despite the strong inflows, the ETF remains under pressure following the previous week’s sharp losses.
The price of Bitcoin reached $92,000 on Wednesday, signaling a potential stabilization after recent declines. The rally in Bitcoin’s price may have prompted some investors to return to the market, particularly in Bitcoin ETFs. Data from Farside Investors confirms this shift, highlighting the growing interest as Bitcoin’s price recovers.
The Grayscale Bitcoin Mini Trust ETF (BTC) also saw inflows, recording $53.8 million. This suggests that investors are still willing to commit capital despite broader market challenges affecting Bitcoin ETFs in recent weeks.
Fidelity and VanEck Bitcoin ETFs Experience $39 Million in Outflows
Meanwhile, Fidelity and VanEck’s spot Bitcoin ETFs experienced combined outflows of $39 million on Wednesday. This contrasts sharply with the inflows seen in BlackRock’s and Grayscale’s funds. The market’s volatility appears to be influencing investor decisions, with some pulling back from these particular Bitcoin ETFs.
The fluctuations in Bitcoin ETFs reflect broader market trends. For instance, Fidelity’s FBTC ETF had back-to-back redemptions last week totaling $132.9 million and $119.9 million. The sharp volatility has created uncertainty for many investors, leading to substantial outflows from some Bitcoin ETFs.
Despite the ongoing outflows, Bitcoin ETFs experienced a slight rebound in trading volume. On Wednesday, trading volume reached $6.89 billion, up nearly 18% from the previous day. This uptick in volume indicates that not all investors are abandoning the space.
Bitcoin ETFs Record Nearly $3 Billion in November Outflows
November has been a difficult month for Bitcoin ETFs, with U.S.-listed funds shedding almost $3 billion in value. The category’s losses are now nearing the $3.56 billion outflows recorded in February. Bitcoin ETFs continue to face pressure amid Bitcoin’s price swings and broader market conditions.
Farside Investors’ data indicates that crypto exchange-traded products (ETPs) also experienced substantial outflows last week, totaling $2 billion. These outflows have primarily impacted U.S.-based Bitcoin ETFs, which accounted for 97% of the total. While the overall trend remains negative, some investors continue to engage with Bitcoin ETFs, signaling cautious optimism.
