On Tuesday, spot BTC exchange-traded funds (ETFs) attracted $332.8 million worth of inflows, with Boston-headquartered mutual fund Fidelity accounting for the biggest chunk of the aforementioned sum ($133 million).
Surprisingly, the Fidelity Wise Origin Bitcoin Fund (FBTC) came ahead of BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust ETF (IBIT), with IBIT attracting approximately $73 million that session.
Bitcoin ETF inflows rebounded as institutional investors rebalanced portfolios after a strong run into spot Ethereum ETFs earlier in August. Short-term profit-taking in ETH ETFs and renewed confidence in Bitcoin’s macro hedge narrative drove the rotation back toward BTC-focused funds.
Data shows spot Ethereum ETFs pulled in roughly $3.9 billion in inflows during August, while Bitcoin ETFs recorded about $751 million in net outflows for the month before the recent reversal. On a single recent trading day, spot BTC ETFs netted $332.8 million in inflows.
