Bitcoin ETFs See Record $870 Million Inflows as BTC Nears All-Time Highs
Bitcoin ETFs have attracted record inflows in recent days as the price of BTC flirts with new all-time highs. According to Eric Balchunas, senior ETF analyst at Bloomberg, the ProShares Bitcoin Strategy ETF (ticker: BITO) traded $3.3 billion on Friday, its highest volume in 6 months.
Balchunas noted that the high volume is unusual given that Bitcoin’s price was up 4% on the day, as ETF volumes typically spike during downturns or crises. However, he speculated that the surge in volume could be due to a “FOMO-ing frenzy” reminiscent of the flows into ARK Invest’s ETFs in 2020. Given Bitcoin’s rapid price appreciation in recent days, Balchunas expects the inflows to continue this week.
The record inflows into Bitcoin ETFs come as the price of BTC has climbed to within 2% of its all-time high near $69,000, reached in November 2021. The surge in demand for Bitcoin exposure through ETFs suggests that investors are positioning for a potential breakout to new highs.
Bitcoin ETFs offer investors a convenient way to gain exposure to the price of Bitcoin without having to directly hold the cryptocurrency. The ProShares Bitcoin Strategy ETF, which launched in October 2021, is the first U.S. ETF to provide exposure to Bitcoin futures contracts.
As Bitcoin continues to gain mainstream adoption and institutional acceptance, the demand for Bitcoin ETFs is likely to remain strong. The record inflows into these products in recent days could be a sign that investors are growing increasingly bullish on the long-term prospects for the world’s largest cryptocurrency.
