Bitcoin ETF Holdings Surpass 1 Million BTC

Bitcoin ETF Holdings Surpass 1 Million BTC

In the past 90 days, investors have poured an amount equivalent to 133,000 BTC into various regulated Bitcoin products. Their AUM has risen to 1 million BTC, according to ByteTree.

This significant influx followed the approval of the first cryptocurrency-based ETF in the US. Experts noted that this trend was accompanied by an outflow of funds from gold and bond-based exchange-traded funds.

According to SoSoValue, on March 4, the total net inflow into spot Bitcoin ETFs was $562 million — the second-highest in history. The record of $673 million was set on February 28.

Investors withdrew $367 million from Grayscale’s GBTC. The inflow into BlackRock’s IBIT was $420 million.

Since launch, $7.9 billion has flowed into these products. This was highlighted by MN Trading founder Michaël van de Poppe.

According to Bloomberg analyst Eric Balchunas, on March 4, trading volume in the sector reached $5.5 billion — the second-highest since statistics began. Of this, IBIT accounted for $2.4 billion. 

The AUM of each of GBTC’s competitors has increased by 30% over the last six trading days. The leader, IBIT, reached $11.53 billion.

Michael Saylor, founder of MicroStrategy, stated that spot Bitcoin ETFs have accelerated the adoption of digital gold among institutions.
