Spot Bitcoin ETFs maintain positive flows for 8 out of the last 10 days
United States spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) have maintained positive flows for eight out of the past ten consecutive trading days.
On Aug. 20, the ETFs saw an aggregate inflow of $88 million, their highest for two weeks according to preliminary data from Farside Investors.
It marks 80% of the past fortnight’s Bitcoin ( BTC ) ETF trading days seeing positive flows, with just two days — Aug. 9 and Aug. 14 — seeing an outflow.
BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) led the pack with an inflow of $55.4 million, bringing the total net inflow for the product since its launch in January to $20.5 billion.
IBIT, which surpassed longtime Bitcoin ETF player Grayscale in terms of assets under management (AUM), has not seen an outflow day since May 1 — the only day of net outflows it has had since it launched in January.
The Ark 21Shares Bitcoin ETF (ARKB) was a close second with an inflow of $51.9 million on Aug. 20.
