Fidelity's FBTC ETF recorded significant inflows of $32.69 million, signaling strong investor interest. Bitwise's spot Bitcoin fund added $7.53 million in net inflows, reflecting the growing adoption and interest in Bitcoin-related investment vehicles.

As the market evolves, these ETFs will play a more important role in both individual and institutional portfolios, enabling wider adoption of cryptocurrencies.
