After Bitcoin's historic fall of 10% following the July 4th holiday, American traders became more active. US Bitcoin ETFs raised $143.1 million on Friday, a record for the past two weeks, according to Farside Investors.

The leader was Fidelity's Wise Origin Bitcoin Fund with an inflow of $117.4 million. Other funds with inflows were Bitwise Bitcoin ETF, ARK/21 Shares Bitcoin ETF and VanEck Bitcoin Trust.

Bitcoin recovered to $56,800 after falling from $61,000 to $54,000. That's down 6% from levels a week earlier and about 23% below the all-time high of $73,500 in mid-March.

The reason for the fall was fears of a sharp increase in supply after the return of 140,000 bitcoins to former clients of the Mt. Gox and the sale of bitcoins by the German government.
