Fidelity’s spot Bitcoin ETF, FBTC, became the second ETF to surpass $1 billion in inflows on its fifth trading day, following BlackRock’s IBIT. However, Grayscale’s GBTC experienced an outflow of $579.6 million, overshadowing other funds and shaking the spot Bitcoin ETF market.
BitMEX Research reports that 11 US spot Bitcoin ETFs saw a total of approximately $1.2 billion in net inflows in the first five days. Fidelity followed BlackRock in exceeding $1 billion in inflows, with Bitwise, Ark Invest/21Shares, and Invesco trailing behind with significant inflows.
January 18th marked the worst day for spot Bitcoin ETFs since their launch on January 11th, with a record net outflow of $131.6 million. GBTC’s outflow dominated, negating the inflows to other ETFs, despite ten out of eleven ETFs seeing a total of $447.9 million in inflows.
Fidelity’s FBTC and BlackRock’s IBIT led the inflows, with Invesco’s BTCO, Ark Invest/21Shares’s ARKB, and Bitwise’s BITB also seeing substantial inflows. Other spot ETFs remained flat throughout the day.
After a net inflow of $474 million on January 17th, the following day saw the second highest net outflow. The first trading day and the second trading day had seen inflows of $628.5 million and $229.4 million, respectively.
