BlackRock's spot bitcoin ETF saw half a billion dollars in inflows in first two days
Quick Take The nine recently-approved spot Bitcoin ETFs have already seen nearly $1.5 billion of inflows. Of the current offering, BlackRock’s iShares ETF leads the pack; it saw nearly $500 million in inflows in the first two days of trading.
The nine bitcoin ETFs that debuted on the stock market, out of the eleven total that were approved, (Grayscale's ETF is a conversion, while Hashdex is still converting its bitcoin futures fund) took in nearly $1.5 billion in new capital over the first two days of trading, according to preliminary data shared by Bloomberg senior ETF analyst Eric Balchunas.
In a post on X, Balchunas shared updated numbers for the inflows and volume of the nine ETFs. At the top of the pack is BlackRock's iShares ETF, which took in nearly half a billion dollars of capital in the first two days of trading, presumably due to its slashed fees . Fidelity's ETF saw over $422 million in inflows as well, with Bitwise in third place with $237 million. WisdomTree's ETF brought up the rear with only $1 million in inflows.
BlackRock's ETF also debuted with over one billion dollars of volume on its first day of trading, making it the second or third biggest debut for an ETF in history. The nine ETFs saw over $3.6 billion in volume in the first two days, much of it again from BlackRock and Fidelity. The preliminary data marks a "monster start" for spot bitcoin ETFs, according to the Wall Street Journal.

The U.S. Treasury will announce a new round of quarterly refinancing plans this Wednesday. Several primary dealers predict that the Treasury will adjust its policy language to allow for a reduction in long-term Treasury issuance next year, while compensating for the financing gap by increasing short-term debt issuance. Citi expects the Treasury may begin reducing the issuance of 20-year and 30-year Treasuries starting this month, which would diverge from the previous quarterly refinancing statement's guidance of maintaining stable issuance levels.
