Bitcoin ETF Inflows Reach Record $1.18 Billion Amid Market Rally
- ETF inflows led by BlackRock and Fidelity.
- Record inflow of 9,972 BTC reported.
- Bitcoin’s demand greatly outpaces mined supply.
Bitcoin ETF inflows hit an all-time high of 9,972 BTC, equivalent to $1.18 billion, as reported today.
Recent ETF inflows highlight institutional investor interest, pushing Bitcoin and market activity higher.
BlackRock, through the iShares Bitcoin Trust, and Fidelity’s Wise Origin Bitcoin Fund are at the forefront of the recent surge in Bitcoin ETF inflows. BlackRock saw an influx of 8,086 BTC, marking significant institutional investment activity. The surge underscores Bitcoin’s increased appeal among institutional players. Bitcoin’s market gains align with increased inflows, reflecting a bullish sentiment.
The impact of such inflows is evidenced by Bitcoin’s price reaching over $113,000. This surge in the spot price underscores strong market confidence. Financial experts caution about the demand-supply disparity, with ETF demand far exceeding the daily production of Bitcoin. Institutional demand remains a primary focus for analysts, suggesting potential shifts in traditional finance.
