ARK’s ARKB and Bitwise’s BITB are further behind, with inflows of $2.64 billion and $2.21 billion, respectively.
However, other asset managers have seen inflows in the millions, lagging far behind. They include WisdomTree, VanEck, Coinshares Valkyrie, Franklin, and Invesco Galaxy Bitcoin ETF.

Overall, the rapid accumulation aligns with the growing demand from institutional and retail investors who are seeking exposure to Bitcoin through regulated products. Analysts attribute this surge to numerous factors, including rising inflation concerns and Bitcoin’s narrative as digital gold.
