BlackRock’s IBIT Bitcoin ETF set the pace with $596M, while Bitcoin ETFs saw $52.4M of net inflows on Tuesday.
The 21Shares Bitcoin ETF that is listed in ARK also reported that investors have been withdrawing their funds with $212 million withdrawn.
Bitcoin fell to $95,259, a decrease of nearly 6% as inflation worries returned after key figures of US economic data.
According to filings by SoSoValue, Bitcoin ETFs attracted a total of $52.4 million in net inflows on Tuesday. This figure contributed to the remarkable $1.7 billion amassed by these products in the first four trading days of 2025, showcasing strong demand.
BlackRock’s IBIT Shines Amid Volatility
Significantly, BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust ETF (IBIT) emerged as the only ETF with positive momentum on Tuesday. The fund registered $596 million in inflows, achieving one of its most successful trading days to date. This highlights its growing appeal among investors, despite broader market turbulence.
However, other Bitcoin ETFs faced challenges. The ARK 21Shares Bitcoin ETF (ARKB) saw $212 million in outflows, making it the hardest-hit fund. Similarly, Grayscale Bitcoin Trust ETF (GBTC) and Bitwise Bitcoin ETF (BITB) recorded outflows of $125 million and $114 million, respectively, indicating mixed sentiment within the sector.
Bitcoin Price Under Pressure
Consequently, the performance of Bitcoin itself was not spared. The leading cryptocurrency fell by nearly 6%, reaching a low of $95,259. This drop followed the release of key U.S. economic data, which reignited concerns over persistent inflation. Furthermore, top altcoins experienced even sharper declines, amplifying the market’s downturn.
Despite these mixed results, the robust inflows seen earlier in the year signal sustained interest in Bitcoin ETFs. While individual fund performances vary, the overall market activity underscores the continued prominence of Bitcoin in investor portfolios as 2025 unfolds.
