Spot Bitcoin ETFs See Biggest Inflows in Two Weeks

Bitcoin spot ETFs recorded their largest inflows in more than two weeks on Thursday, totaling $192.5 million. This comes after Bitcoin dipped below $50,000 earlier this week amid a global market sell-off.

The inflows helped push Bitcoin back above $60,000 on Friday, marking a swift turnaround after Bitcoin fell nearly 20% to its lowest level since February.

The BlackRock iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) led the rebound, with inflows of $157.6 million on Thursday. The WisdomTree Bitcoin Trust (BTCW) also had an excellent day, attracting over $118.5 million in fresh capital โ€“ its largest daily gain since its launch.

BTCW has generally lagged behind rivals, struggling to break the $11 million mark in daily inflows since its launch in January. The previous record was $10.5 million. But Thursdayโ€™s surge made it the best performer.

The influx shows a renewed appetite for Bitcoin exposure after a sell-off earlier in the week that also hit exchanges like the Nasdaq. Fridayโ€™s disappointing US jobs report triggered recession fears.

The rebound in prices and inflows suggests that the Bitcoin sell-off may have been a temporary blip rather than the start of a new bearish trend. The recovery to $60,000 has bulls eyeing a retest of all-time highs above $73,000 in 2024.
