Spot Bitcoin ETFs Attract Record-Breaking $1.05 Bln Inflows

SoSoValue data released on March 12, an extraordinary net inflow of $1.05 billion into Spot BTC ETFs.

With a total of $8.5 billion traded, this capital influx coincided with the second-highest volume day for the 10 Bitcoin ETFs, representing their best performance in the past five weeks.

Meanwhile, the remarkable inflow of $849 million surpassed the prior peak inflow for BlackRock's iShares Bitcoin ETF.

The influx caused BlackRock's net inflow to surpass $11.44 billion, and its asset holdings to increase by $14.5 billion.

In contrast, inflows into the Ark 21Shares (ARKB) BTC ETF were $93 million and $51.6 million, respectively, for the Fidelity Bitcoin ETF.

Inflows into other Spot BTC ETFs, such as Bitwise's BITB, were comparatively lower.

Despite the heightened competition, the VanEck Bitcoin ETF witnessed a cash inflow of $82.9 million, which was partially attributable to its 0% fees policy.

In addition, Grayscale's GBTC documented an additional outflow amounting to $79 million.

Moreover, Genesis' GBTC selloffs, which are approaching their conclusion, are the cause of the decline in outflows.

Genesis, a crypto lender, has gained bankruptcy court authority to sell 35 million GBTC shares worth $1.3 billion.

Notably, GBTC has incurred a net outflow exceeding $11.12 billion to date.
