Spot Bitcoin ETFs Saw $100M Inflow Reversal But Risks Still Looms

Spot Bitcoin ETFs in the U.S. witnessed over $100 million inflow on Wednesday, June 12, making a reversal from two-day consecutive outflows. It follows as both headline and monthly CPI inflation in the United States dropped and investors immediately brought a rebound in Bitcoin price, recording a broader crypto market recovery. However, the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) signaled a single rate cut this year after it held interest rates unchanged.

Spot Bitcoin ETFs Record Inflow After Two Outflows

The U.S.-based spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) recorded a net inflow of $100.8 million, as per Bloomberg and Farside Investors data on June 13. The reversal from two consecutive days of outflows to an inflow is critical for market sentiment as traders await key U.S. PPI inflation

data on Thursday and Bank of Japan interest rate decision on Friday.

BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin ETF (IBIT) saw $15.6 million in inflow and raised hopes of witnessing huge inflows in the next few weeks. Following the latest inflow, BlackRock’s net inflow hit over $17.6 billion and BTC holding climbed to $20.86 billion.

Fidelity Bitcoin ETF (FBTC) led the spot Bitcoin ETF buying on Wednesday, recording an inflow of $50.6 million. Followed by Bitwise Bitcoin ETF (BITB), VanEck Bitcoin ETF (HODL), and Ark 21Shares (ARKB) Bitcoin ETF with $14.5 million, $11.6 million, and $8.5 million, respectively. Other spot Bitcoin ETFs saw zero net inflows.

Grayscale Bitcoin Trust (GBTC) also recorded zero inflow after a net outflow of $237 million in the previous four days. GBTC sold 3434 BTC over the previous four trading days and 335K BTCs since launch.
