Bitcoin ETFs see continued inflows as BTC climbs back above $100K
Spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds in the United States recorded their tenth consecutive day of inflows on Dec. 11, with $223.03 million entering the funds as Bitcoin climbed back above the $100,000 mark.
According to data from SoSoValue, the majority of inflows on Dec. 11 went into Fidelity’s FBTC, which saw $121.9 million in new investments, extending its inflow streak to ten days. ARK and 21Shares’ ARKB fund and Grayscale’s GBTC also contributed significantly, with inflows of $52.67 million and $20.13 million, respectively.
Additionally, Grayscale Bitcoin Mini Trust, Biwise’s BITB, and VanEck’s HODL funds received more modest inflows of $15.74 million, $12.16 million, and $2.87 million, respectively. However, Valkyrie’s BRRR fund was the only outlier, reporting outflows of $2.44 million on the day.
Other BTC ETFs, including BlackRock’s IBIT—which has recorded inflows of $35.06 billion since its launch—remained neutral on Dec. 11.
The total trading volume for Bitcoin investment products stood at $3.94 billion on Dec. 11, slightly lower than the $3.97 billion recorded the previous day. As of the report, total net inflows into the 12 BTC ETFs amounted to $34.58 billion.
These inflows coincided with Bitcoin’s recent rally, which saw the crypto asset surpass $100,000, reaching a high of approximately $102,000. This increase came as recent U.S. inflation data raised expectations of a potential interest rate cut by the Federal Reserve.
