Investor demand returns to U.S.-listed spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds on Thursday, producing their strongest single-day intake in two months after a prolonged run of withdrawals. The rebound is led by Fidelity's FBTC and comes as bitcoin recovers toward $61,700 after falling below $58,000 earlier this week.
Highlights
- U.S.-listed spot Bitcoin ETFs saw $221.7 million in net inflows on Thursday, ending a 10-day outflow streak that withdrew $2.73 billion.
- Fidelity's FBTC led with $165.96 million in inflows, while BlackRock's IBIT posted a $40.43 million outflow, and total inflows marked the largest in two months.
- Despite Thursday's rebound, year-to-date net flows for U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs remain negative at approximately $5.4 billion, underlining persistent market headwinds.
Fund flows reverse after prolonged selling
As reported by CoinDesk, U.S.-listed spot Bitcoin ETFs draw $221.7 million of net inflows on Thursday, based on data from SoSoValue, ending a 10-day outflow streak that had drained $2.73 billion from the products.Fidelity's FBTC leads the session with $165.96 million in new money, followed by ARKB with $91.84 million and HODL with $4.35 million. BlackRock's IBIT, the largest Bitcoin ETF, stands out as the exception with a $40.43 million outflow.
The day's total marks the biggest inflow for the group in two months, offering a sharp contrast to the sustained selling pressure that dominates recent trading in the funds.
Recovery hopes face year-to-date pressure
Despite Thursday's rebound, year-to-date net flows remain deeply negative at about $5.4 billion, showing that the latest buying only offsets a small portion of the broader withdrawals seen this year.The turnaround nevertheless supports bitcoin's recovery toward $61,700 after the token hits 21-month lows below $58,000 earlier in the week. Market participants still need to see a sustained run of ETF inflows to view the move as a more durable recovery, as steady allocations into these products have historically accompanied stronger bull-market phases.
