Bitcoin ETFs recorded a massive inflow on Thursday. According to recent reports, exchange-traded funds saw over $470 million inflow on the last day – totaling nearly $2 billion inflows over the week – across all Bitcoin ETFs.
The majority of yesterday’s inflow was led by BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust ETF (IBIT) after a $309 million inflow over the last trading day. IBIT alone appears to be leading the charge after seeing an inflow of over $1.07 billion on the week.
But that’s just part of the story. Other spot ETFs were in the mix too. Ark and 21Shares’ ARKB hauled in over $100 million in net inflows on Thursday. Grayscale’s GBTC wasn’t far behind, raking in $45.70 million, while Fidelity’s FBTC added $11.69 million to the tally.
This development comes just one day after reports that all cumulative inflows from Bitcoin ETFs have reached the milestone of $20 billion since its debut earlier this year.
Positive Investor Sentiment Pumping The Market
Harsh economic conditions seen pretty much since the start of the post-pandemic market in 2022 have finally shown signs of appeasing during the last quarter of 2024.
Reports like this week’s first consecutive interest rate cut in a decade by the European Central Bank showed signs that we could be heading to a more stable economy unwarranted by recession and inflationary caution in 2025.
For digital assets, the fact that crypto firms are giving the SEC its money’s worth when it comes to legally battling not to have altcoins labeled as securities can also be seen as a positive note.
These favorable market conditions are creating a sense of optimism among investors, drawing more interest and funds into the cryptocurrency space. While it’s early to predict the long-term impacts, this surge in Bitcoin ETF inflows highlights growing confidence in digital assets.
