US Bitcoin ETFs Reached $2B Inflows in Two Weeks

by

As an experienced financial analyst with a background in cryptocurrency markets, I find the recent surge in inflows into United States Bitcoin ETFs to be a remarkable development. The fact that over $2 billion has been invested in just two weeks is an unprecedented milestone for this market.

Over the past two weeks, U.S. Bitcoin Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs) have experienced a significant surge, attracting over $2 billion in investments. This represents a remarkable achievement for the Bitcoin market.

Last week saw an unprecedented inflow of funds to the tune of one billion dollars. Among these inflows, May 21 stood out with a remarkable daily intake of three hundred and five million dollars.

A Bitcoin ETF is a type of exchange-traded fund that reflects the value of bitcoin. Similar to stocks, Bitcoin ETFs are buyable and sellable on established exchanges such as the New York Stock Exchange. This offers investors an opportunity to gain exposure to bitcoin without directly owning the cryptocurrency.

Based on the data from Farside between May 8 and May 24, I observed that BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust ($IBIT) attracted an astonishing inflow of approximately $16.35 billion. Following closely was Fidelity’s Bitcoin ETF ($FBTC), which drew in around $8.71 billion during the same period.

On May 9, the largest withdrawal amounting to $103 million was made from the Grayscale Bitcoin Trust (GBTC). Conversely, the biggest inflow of funds, totaling $103 million, took place in BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust ($IBIT) on May 21.
