Bitcoin price rally sparks record ETF inflows of over $1B
Assets under management within BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) stands at about $15 billion following fund’s record day
The 10 US spot bitcoin ETFs collectively shattered their daily net inflow record Tuesday as more than $1 billion of investor assets entered the funds.
BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) was again the category standout , notching an all-time high daily inflow total of $849 million, according to BitMEX Research data.
The Ark 21Shares Bitcoin ETF (ARKB) and the VanEck Bitcoin Trust contributed above-average flows of $93 million and $83 million, respectively.
The boost for VanEck’s product comes after the company said it would waive its 0.20% sponsor fee on the first $1.5 billion of fund assets until March 31, 2025.
Grayscale Investments’ Bitcoin Trust ETF (GBTC), which has bled more than $11.1 billion in assets since converting to an ETF on Jan. 11, saw just $79 million of outflows Tuesday. That outflow total was down from $494 million the day prior.

The $1 billion of net inflows across the 10 bitcoin funds easily surpassed the segment’s previous daily record of $673 million, set on Feb. 28, BitMEX data shows.
The ETF flow spike came as bitcoin’s price has continued its climb, setting multiple new all-time highs over the past eight days.
BTC’s price stood at about $73,300 at 7 a.m. ET on Wednesday — up about 15% from a week ago. The asset’s price had risen above $73,600 a few hours prior, marking a new record.
The assets under management in BlackRock’s IBIT rose above $15 billion at market close Tuesday — behind only GBTC, which has roughly $27.7 billion of assets.
The Fidelity Wise Origin Bitcoin Fund (FBTC) is the group’s third-largest fund, managing about $9.2 billion in assets.
Tuesday marked the second-best trading volume day for the 10 US spot bitcoin ETFs, according to Bloomberg Intelligence data — as investors traded roughly $8.5 billion worth of the funds’ shares.
IBIT’s trading volumes on Tuesday represented nearly half of those across the segment, at about $4 billion.

As AI controversies escalate, hedge funds buy tech stocks at the fastest pace in 15 months
Hedge funds have recorded net purchases of US TMT stocks on 10 out of the past 11 trading days, rebuilding tech long positions at the fastest pace in 15 months. However, an AI policy storm has struck at the "worst possible time"—calls by AI giants to slow down development have been rejected, and regulatory uncertainty has directly hit Asian tech stocks such as Softbank. As the tech sector's bullish run coincides with Super Central Bank Week, the sector now faces a severe test.
Apple Pre-sale Tracker: iPhone 18 Pro Series Shows Weak Overseas Demand Signals, Duo Review Positive but Hardware Lags Behind
According to a survey by Jefferies, after the launch of the iPhone 18 Pro, delivery wait times in the four major markets—the US, UK, Germany, and Japan—have shortened by 5 to 11 days compared to last year, with no wait time in the US. Given stable production capacity, this is a clear sign of weak demand. Although the China and Hong Kong markets have performed better against the trend, there are still suspicions of speculative stockpiling. The new foldable Duo has been praised for its software experience, but its $2,000 price tag comes with a 254-gram body and dual-camera setup, leaving its hardware lagging significantly behind Android competitors. Jefferies maintains an "underperform" rating, with a target price implying a 21% downside from the current level.
