Bears rekt: Bitcoin ETFs see runner-up record day with $887M inflows
The United States spot Bitcoin ( BTC ) exchange-traded funds (ETFs) have seen their second-best-ever joint net inflow day of $887 million, according to preliminary data
The Fidelity Wise Origin Bitcoin Fund (FBTC) saw the largest inflow at $378.7 million, while BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) was second with $275 million, according to early data from Farside Investors and X account HODL15Capital.
The ARK 21Shares Bitcoin ETF (ARKB) was the third-best performer with over $138 million in net inflows, Farside data shows.
It’s the highest net inflows the funds have seen since March 12, when they took in a record $1.04 billion . Bitcoin hit an all-time high of $73,679 a day later on March 13.

GBTC has seen over $17.8 billion in net outflows, which have been attributed to its high management fee of 1.5% and its narrowed discount that saw many holders seeing an opportunity to exit.
Grayscale’s Bitcoin fund initially held 620,000 BTC when the spot Bitcoin ETFs launched, but that’s now fallen to 285,481 BTC, worth $20.2 billion, according to the Apollo Bitcoin Tracker.
ETF Store president Nate Geraci hit back at Bitcoin critics on X who he said claimed the Bitcoin ETFs would see little demand.
“I was told several months ago that all of the ‘degen retail’ investors who wanted to buy had already done so [and] there was nobody left,” Geraci wrote. “How can this be?”

Bloomberg ETF analyst Eric Balchunas wrote on X that it was “big-time flows all around today for The Ten” — the Bitcoin ETFs bar Hashdex’s, which joined the market months after the others had launched and has struggled to see inflows.
