The iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT), under the management of BlackRock, has reached a noteworthy milestone with its first-ever occurrence of zero inflows since the inception of Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) in the United States. This marks the end of a continuous streak lasting 71 days, during which the ETF consistently attracted substantial investments on a daily basis.

The slowdown in inflows of Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) is becoming apparent.

Simultaneously, other Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) have also experienced a decline in investor interest, aligning with the cessation of inflows associated with IBIT. While the Fidelity Wise Origin Bitcoin Fund (FBTC) and the ARK 21Shares Bitcoin ETF (ARKB) managed to draw inflows of $5.6 million and $4.2 million, respectively, the majority of Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) witnessed no daily inflows.

Impressive Performance of IBIT

Despite the current downturn in operations, IBIT has demonstrated exceptional performance since its introduction in January. Accumulating approximately $15.5 billion in assets under management within just 71 days, the ETF surpassed the U.S. Global Jets ETF, positioning itself among the top 10 ETFs with the longest streaks of daily inflows.

Factors Influencing ETF Inflows

Various factors contribute to the current slowdown in ETF inflows. According to research by the UK-based bank Standard Chartered, macro factors such as rising Treasury rates and geopolitical events in the Middle East have contributed to the decline in inflows. It is speculated that the initial wave of ETF purchases may have peaked, with subsequent inflows potentially contingent upon the integration of spot Bitcoin ETFs into larger macro funds.

Performance of Grayscale’s GBTC

Grayscale’s GBTC, a prominent investment vehicle for Bitcoin, has been experiencing regular daily outflows. On the day when GBTC recorded net withdrawals of $130.4 million, the majority of Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) witnessed no net inflows. These outflows have prompted Grayscale to prepare for the introduction of a new “mini Bitcoin ETF” with reduced costs to compete with other offerings and attract more investors.

Prospects for Bitcoin Exchange-Traded Funds

Despite the recent decline in inflows, there are indications that interest in Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) may revive. Reports suggest that Morgan Stanley is considering allowing its 15,000 brokers to promote Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) to their clients, potentially resulting in increased capital inflows. Additionally, the bank’s previous forecast that Bitcoin would reach $150,000 by the end of the year remains valid, adding further intrigue to the outlook for Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs).
