Bitcoin Spot ETFs Witness Month-High Inflow Following Latest Market Downturn

Bitcoin price has not had a great start to the third quarter of 2024 after falling to a multi-month low last week. On the other hand, Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) appear to be benefiting from the recent price decline, having recorded a positive week in terms of capital inflows.

According to the latest data, a large amount of capital has flowed into Bitcoin investment products despite the poor performance of the leading cryptocurrency.

On Friday, July 5, spot Bitcoin ETFs saw net inflows of more than $143 million, the largest net inflow the market has seen since June 6 — about a month ago. According to Data from CoinglassMost of the capital inflows were contributed by Fidelity’s FBTC.

Analyzing the data, four of the 11 spot Bitcoin ETFs saw inflows, peaking at $172 million, with nearly 80% of that total going to Fidelity’s FBTC fund. Bitwise (BITB), VanEck (HODL), and Ark 21Shares (ARKB) made up the rest of Friday’s inflows.

Grayscale’s GBTC saw outflows of around $29 million, while the remaining funds saw no significant capital outflows. Ultimately, the inflow marked a positive end to the week and a complete turnaround from consecutive days of outflows before the Fourth of July holiday.

According to Coinglass data, last week saw a net inflow of $238.4 million into spot Bitcoin ETFs in the United States, suggesting that institutional investors are preparing to load up their bags despite the recent slide in the leading cryptocurrency.
