After the U.S.-based spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded two trading days with a higher net income of $200 million this week, they continued the positive streak on July 11, but more modestly.
Registering $295 million on July 8, $216 million the day after and $147 million on July 10, yesterday all-U.S. ETFs attracted just $78.9 million.
On July 11, BlackRock’s ETF, the iShares Bitcoin Trust, attracted $72.1 million, and Fidelity’s Wise Origin Bitcoin Fund followed with $32.7 million.
Bitwise’s BITB ranked third with inflows of just $7.5 million. In total, all U.S. spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds attracted $78.9 million on the day.
Although the last four trading days saw positive overall results – Grayscale Bitcoin Trust (GBTC) again registered outflows of $37.7 million.
After weeks of intense institutional activity that helped push Bitcoin above $100,000, inflows into U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs took a breather between May 6 and May 12.
Bitcoin’s rapid recovery beyond $104,000 has sparked a wave of optimism in crypto circles, but the bigger question remains: is this just the beginning?
While Bitcoin’s price has recently rebounded, the enthusiasm for spot ETFs appears to be cooling. Weekly inflows into U.S. Bitcoin ETFs have dropped sharply, signaling a pause in aggressive institutional accumulation.
A wave of optimism swept through global markets as the United States and China took decisive steps to de-escalate their long-running trade dispute.
