Bitcoin ETFs Experience $525M Inflows Amid Market Volatility
On October 21, US spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) recorded approximately $525 million in net inflows, marking the largest single-day gain for these funds in nearly a month. This influx comes as Bitcoin ETFs had previously faced substantial outflows, nearing $910 million over a two-week period earlier in October.
A report from Crypto Briefing highlights that BlackRock's IBIT and Fidelity's FBTC were the primary contributors to this surge, attracting around $235 million and $213 million, respectively. Together, these two products accounted for about $448 million of the total inflow.
Despite the significant inflows, Bitcoin's price remained relatively stable, fluctuating between $81,500 and $84,800 during the session. This price action reflects broader market uncertainty and traders' positioning ahead of key economic events, including Federal Reserve meetings.
In contrast, Ethereum ETFs experienced a modest inflow of $14 million, which was insufficient to offset a larger trend of redemptions totaling approximately $200 million over the previous five days. Overall, Ethereum funds remain down about $1.07 billion for October.
