Entries Strengthening for Spot Bitcoin ETFs
The week is proving to be quite positive for spot Bitcoin ETFs. It started on Monday with a massive entry of $520 million and recorded an even stronger entry of $577 million on Tuesday. The significant entry came with only BlackRock iShares Bitcoin ETF seeing an entry of $520 million, indicating the likelihood of BTC price reaching $60,000.
According to BitMEX Research data, spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) experienced a net inflow of $577 million (or a net inflow of 10,167.5 BTC) on February 27th. This marked the largest entry to date, with all nine spot Bitcoin ETFs recording substantial trading volumes. However, Grayscale’s GBTC outflow increased again on Tuesday after a $22.4 million decrease the day before.
The BlackRock iShares Bitcoin ETF (IBIT) saw an entry of over $520 million, surpassing the largest entry it had seen so far. IBIT also recorded a trading volume of $1.3 billion, surpassing the daily trading volume of most major U.S. stocks. Following the latest entry, BlackRock’s net inflow exceeded $6.5 billion, and the asset amount surpassed 141,000 BTC.
Fidelity Bitcoin ETF (FBTC) and Ark 21Shares (ARKB) Bitcoin ETF saw entries of $126 million and $5.4 million, respectively. Bitwise (BITB), VanEck (HODL), and other spot Bitcoins also saw significant entries, indicating a strong bullish sentiment among retail and institutional investors.
Notably, GBTC saw an outflow of $125.6 million, putting aside hopes for a change in the paradigm by increasing from the $22.4 million outflow the previous day. Bloomberg Senior ETF Analyst Eric Balchunas stated that, excluding GBTC, nine new spot Bitcoin ETFs exceeded $2 billion in daily trading volume for the second consecutive day and that the BTC price is holding strong above $57,000.
