The world of Bitcoin-related exchange-traded funds (ETFs) witnessed significant changes today, as a sharp increase in net inflows contrasted with notable outflows from certain key players.
On May 31, 2024, the Bitcoin ETF sector experienced a positive net inflow of $49 million, marking a trend that has remained positive for 14 consecutive trading days. This consistent influx of capital highlights the growing interest and confidence of investors in Bitcoin as a viable investment option within the broader market landscape.
Despite the overall positive trend, Grayscale encountered challenges on this particular day. The Grayscale Bitcoin Trust (GBTC), a major player in the sector, reported an outflow of $124.3 million. This outflow represents the highest level seen in the past 21 trading days, potentially indicating a shift in investor sentiment towards this specific fund.
In contrast, BlackRock’s Bitcoin ETF, known as IBIT, experienced a noteworthy rebound in inflows. After a modest $1.6 million the day before, inflows surged to $169 million. This substantial recovery showcases strong investor demand and confidence in BlackRock’s ETF offerings.
