The U.S. Bitcoin spot exchange-traded fund (ETF) has witnessed the first positive fund flow after seven consecutive days of trading with negative flow. More remarkable, Grayscale’s Bitcoin Trust (GBTC) recorded the first-ever inflow since its inception after draining over $12 billion.
According to public records, U.S. Bitcoin spot ETFs ended Friday trading with a net inflow of $343 million. This influx was influenced by Fidelity’s FBTC, which alone witnessed a positive flow of $102.6 million.
Coming next on the ranking was the fund inflow from Grayscale. In particular, Grayscale ETF saw a positive flow of $63 million for the first time since the January approvals. Meanwhile, the firm recorded an outflow of over $12 billion since the approvals.
Other U.S. issuers that saw positive flow on Friday included BlackRock (IBIT), Bitwise (BITB), Ark Invest, Franklin (EZBC), and Invesco Galaxy (BTCO). On the other hand, the ETFs of Valkyrie (BRRR) and WisdomTree (BTCW) saw zero influx.
Notably, before Friday, the U.S. Bitcoin ETF market last saw inflow on April 25. The flows dropped to negative as BlackRock’s ETF saw consecutive trading days with zero influx. Furthermore, the flow to the ETF market dried up amid Bitcoin’s price correction over the past few weeks.
For instance, after Bitcoin crashed to $56,555 on May 1, these ETF issuers saw a staggering outflow of $564 million the following day. Essentially, institutional investors adopted a cautious approach in their investment towards Bitcoin products amid the market dips.
Meanwhile, in the last 24 hours, Bitcoin reclaimed the $63,500 threshold. Interestingly a renewed interest in Bitcoin ETFs emerged as the U.S. ETFs saw an inflow of $343 million after multiple consecutive days of outflows.
