Bitcoin has been on the road to recovery after a price slump to around $53,000 - and spot BTC ETFs have been recording significant inflows.
ETFs in the U.S. currently hold 900,000 Bitcoins, representing 4.3% of the total Bitcoin supply, according to Nate Geraci, president of The ETF Store.
With assets totaling around $60 billion, these ETFs control about 5% of Bitcoin’s market value, which is presently $1.3 trillion. Since their introduction in January, Bitcoin ETFs have attracted $17 billion in net inflows.
Bloomberg analyst Eric Balchunas highlighted the significance of these figures, noting that Bitcoin ETFs saw $17 billion in net flows since the year’s start, independent of Bitcoin’s price rise. This reflects genuine demand and adoption, devoid of false data.
