BlackRock and Fidelity Drive Monday's Rebound
US spot Bitcoin ETFs snapped a three-session losing streak on Monday, pulling in $297.56M in net inflows. BlackRock's $IBIT led the day with $160.23M in new capital, while Fidelity's $FBTC followed with $111.90M, giving the two funds more than 90% of the daily total.ARK Invest's $ARKB added $14.2M and Morgan Stanley's $MSBT contributed $11.2M, with no other spot Bitcoin ETF recording a net flow.
The reversal ended a three-session stretch of net outflows even as Bitcoin fell roughly 2.5% on the day, suggesting investor demand for regulated Bitcoin exposure remained intact during the price pullback.Bitcoin ETF inflows during a price decline can signal that some investors are using weakness to add exposure rather than reduce it.
The prior three sessions through Friday had accumulated $249.92M in combined outflows. Monday's inflow day pushed cumulative net inflows to $52.09B, with total net assets at $78.67B, representing approximately 6.09% of Bitcoin's total market value.
Trading volume across Bitcoin ETFs reached $2.12B on the day. The session also coincided with fresh signs of broad institutional engagement in the space. Quantitative trading firm Jane Street disclosed more than $1B in US spot Bitcoin ETF holdings as of June 30, with approximately $828M invested in BlackRock's $IBIT.
The week ending August 7 stands out as one of the stronger recent stretches, with net inflows totaling $853.54M across that period. Monday's figure, while smaller, reinforces a pattern in which institutional buyers return decisively after brief spells of outflows.
