US spot Bitcoin ETFs just strung together three straight days of net inflows, a modest but meaningful reversal after weeks of investors heading for the exits. The total haul on April 23 came in at $31.64 million. Not exactly a tidal wave, but after five consecutive days of outflows, even a trickle feels like rain in the desert.
Who’s buying, who’s selling
The breakdown across individual ETFs tells a familiar story. BlackRock’s IBIT fund led the pack with $37.92 million in inflows on April 23, extending what had been a remarkable 70-day consecutive inflow streak.
ARK Invest’s ARKB followed with $33.28 million, and Bitwise’s BITB pulled in $23.23 million. These three funds have consistently been the magnets for new capital since spot Bitcoin ETFs launched in January 2024.
Then there’s the other side of the ledger. Grayscale’s Bitcoin Trust, GBTC, continued its role as the group’s chronic bleeder, shedding $66.88 million on the same day. The pattern has been relentless since GBTC converted from a closed-end fund structure: investors rotate out of the higher-fee legacy product and into newer, cheaper alternatives.
