Net inflows yesterday as the Boomers bought right into a nasty overnight 8% selloff like nobody’s business capping off a week that saw net $2.5 billion inflows and $35 billion in volume (both records),

IBIT Maintains First Place in Trading Volume
The total weekly trading volume of the U.S. spot bitcoin ETFs reached a record of $35.1 billion last week, despite the unpredictability of the price movement of bitcoin. The ETFs had 15% more trading volume last week than the $2.24 billion recorded the week before. With a trading volume of $16.17 billion for the week, BlackRock’s IBIT ETF was once again in the lead. The Block’s Data Dashboard shows that the trading volume of GBTC (Grayscale) and FBTC (Fidelity) was $8.24 billion and $6.5 billion, respectively.
At 47%, BlackRock’s spot bitcoin ETF is getting close to 50% of the market share based on trading volume. As for Grayscale, whose higher-fee GBTC fund, as of Friday, has fallen from a 50.5% market share on January 11 to a mere 23.1%.
