BlackRock’s Massive Market Impact

Besides BlackRock, Fidelity’s FBTC saw a $61.1 million inflow, while Ark Invest’s ARKB recorded $29.8 million in inflows. Over the last three days, US BTC ETFs have recorded over $1 billion in total inflows.
Throughout July, US BTC ETFs have seen consistent inflows, with only two days of outflows on July 2 and 3.

Fidelity’s FBTC saw $252.76 million in inflows, while Bitwise’s BITO clocked $229 million in trading volumes. Apart from the US markets, demand for spot Bitcoin ETFs in Australia and Hong Kong remains high. The Monochrome BTC ETF IBTC has accumulated a total of 85 BTC, valued at $7.99 million. These massive inflows sent the Bitcoin price soaring to $65,800 levels earlier today, offsetting concerns related to the Mt. Gox incident.
The sustained strong inflows into Bitcoin ETFs, particularly from big companies such as BlackRock, reflect investors’ rising confidence and interest in digital assets. This pattern demonstrates strong market demand and a positive prognosis for Bitcoin ETFs internationally.
