U.S.-based spot Bitcoin ETFs (exchange-traded funds) experienced substantial inflows on July 12, amounting to over $310 million. This marks their best-performing day since June 5.

According to data from Farside Investors, BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust and the Fidelity Wise Origin Bitcoin Fund led the charge, attracting $120 million and $115.1 million, respectively. The Bitwise Bitcoin ETF followed with $28.4 million in inflows. Meanwhile, the Grayscale Bitcoin Trust saw a rare inflow day, recording $23 million.

Investors Ignore Some of the Smaller Bitcoin ETFs

Despite these robust figures, some spot Bitcoin ETFs, including those issued by Hashdex, Franklin Templeton, Valkyrie, and WisdomTree, did not register any inflows on the same day.

The cumulative inflows since July 8 have now reached an impressive $1.04 billion, demonstrating sustained investor interest in Bitcoin ETFs. Since their inception a little over six months ago, these ETFs have also amassed $15.8 billion in net inflows.

Interestingly, this influx of capital into Bitcoin ETFs occurred alongside a modest increase in Bitcoin’s price. The market leader’s price rose more than 2% over the past 24 hours to trade at $58,430. However, the flagship crypto is still down nearly 15% in the last month and remains 21% below its all-time high.

ETH Could Gets Its Own ETF Next Week

In addition to the positive momentum in Bitcoin ETF inflows, there is speculation that some issuers are preparing to launch spot Ethereum ETFs. According to Nate Geraci, president of The ETF Store, these could be available as early as July 15. These is pending approval from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).

The strong performance of Bitcoin ETFs, coupled with the potential introduction of spot Ethereum ETFs, indicates a broader trend of increasing institutional adoption of cryptocurrency products. As the market continues to evolve, these developments are likely to play a crucial role in shaping the future of digital asset investments.
