BlackRock’s IBIT maintains strong inflows of $778.2m despite Bitcoin price correction

BlackRockโ€™s IBIT fund continued to see strong inflows for the fourth consecutive day, with $778.2 million flowing into the fund on Nov. 12, while other ETFs experienced a slowdown as Bitcoin dipped below $86,000.

According to data compiled by SoSoValue, the 12 spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded net inflows of $817.54 million on Tuesday, extending their inflow streak to five consecutive days and bringing the total accumulated inflows to over $4.2 billion. The surge in investment appears to be largely fueled by a wave of market optimism following Donald Trumpโ€™s re-election in the U.S., which has had a positive ripple effect on investor sentiment in the crypto space.

BlackRockโ€™s IBIT fund led the influx with $778.27 million, bringing its cumulative net inflows to a record $28.92 billion since its inception. The fundโ€™s sustained inflow pattern shows its appeal as a preferred Bitcoin ETF option, even as other Bitcoin ETFs reported more modest gains or, in some cases, outflows.

Fidelityโ€™s FBTC, Grayscale Bitcoin Mini Trust, and VanEckโ€™s HODL contributed additional, albeit smaller, inflows with $37.2 million, $15.08 million, and $10.13 million, respectively.

Conversely, Grayscaleโ€™s flagship GBTC and ARK 21Sharesโ€™ ARKB experienced net outflows of $17.79 million and $5.36 million on the same day. This marks a notable shift from the prior day, which had seen positive flows across all 12 Bitcoin ETFs, coinciding with record-high daily trading volumes of $7.31 billion.

The shifts reflect market participants adjusting to recent price fluctuations, as Bitcoin dropped more than 5% from a high of $89,900 to settle near $85,500 on Tuesday.

Bloomberg analyst Eric Balchunas commended the Bitcoin ETFsโ€™ performance, noting that total assets under management for Bitcoin ETFs have surpassed $90 billion, putting them at 72% of the asset levels of gold ETFs.

At the time of writing, Bitcoin (BTC) had slightly recovered from the dayโ€™s earlier decline, trading at approximately $86,917, down 1.7% over the 24-hour period.

Ethereum ETFs record $131.9m inflows

Parallel to Bitcoin ETF activity, spot Ethereum ETFs have also enjoyed sustained inflows, with net additions totaling $131.92 million on Nov. 12. This activity represents the fifth consecutive day of net inflows for Ethereum funds, which have accumulated $649 million within the past week.

Notably, Nov. 11 marked a record single-day inflow of $295.48 million for spot Ethereum ETFs.

BlackRockโ€™s ETHA emerged as the leader among Ethereum ETFs, recording $131.45 million in inflows on Tuesday, closely followed by Bitwiseโ€™s ETHW, which attracted $16.98 million.

Other Ethereum ETFs, such as Grayscaleโ€™s Ethereum Mini Trust, VanEckโ€™s ETHV, and 21Sharesโ€™ CETH, received $12.71 million, $6.02 million, and $1.97 million in inflows, respectively. However, Grayscaleโ€™s ETHE recorded net outflows of $33.21 million, tempering the overall Ethereum ETF inflows.

As of the latest data, Ethereumโ€™s (ETH) price had decreased by 5.4% over the past 24 hours, trading at $3,151.
