BTC ETFs see $819.7M inflows

U.S. spot bitcoin exchange-traded funds took in $819.7 million in the week ended Friday, April 24, extending a run of fresh institutional buying. (farside.co.uk) The biggest share came from BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust, ticker IBIT, which added about $732.6 million over the week, according to Walletpilot’s fund tracker. (walletpilot.com) (farside.co.uk) Farside’s daily flow table showed net inflows of $238.4 million on April 20, $11.8 million on April 21, $335.8 million on April 22, $223.3 million on April 23, and $14.4 million on April 24. (farside.co.uk) Those products let investors buy shares that track bitcoin without holding the token directly, using the stock market wrapper that pension funds, advisers, and brokerages already know. (sec.gov) (blackrock.com) The April rebound followed a choppy start to 2026. Walletpilot’s tracker showed the group back to positive flows over seven, 30, and year-to-date windows by April 24. (walletpilot.com) Bitcoin itself climbed from about $73,856 on April 20 to about $77,612 on April 25, according to CoinMarketCap’s historical data, even as daily ETF demand slowed at week’s end. (coinmarketcap.com) CoinDesk reported that U.S. spot bitcoin ETFs logged eight straight days of inflows through April 23, totaling about $2.1 billion, with total assets reaching roughly $102 billion. (coindesk.com) The split inside the category remained sharp. Grayscale’s legacy GBTC fund lost about $59.0 million over the same five-day stretch, while smaller funds such as ARKB and the Grayscale Mini Trust were net buyers. (walletpilot.com) (farside.co.uk) For now, the headline is simple: the week’s $819.7 million haul kept bitcoin ETFs in accumulation mode, with BlackRock still setting the pace. (farside.co.uk)
