This surge in activity has propelled the total net asset value of all spot Bitcoin ETFs to surpass $54 billion, with cumulative net inflows exceeding $9.37 billion. Notably, data analyst Dragonfly, known as hildobby, has pointed out that these ETFs now collectively hold slightly over 4% of the total Bitcoin supply.
Referred to as the “newborn nine,” the nine newly launched spot Bitcoin ETFs are poised to surpass Grayscale’s GBTC fund in Bitcoin holdings by the end of today’s U.S. market session. As of yesterday, GBTC held 400,186 bitcoins, while the “newborn nine” ETFs held 397,847 coins, according to K33 Research senior analyst Vetle Lunde.
In another development, it has been revealed that BlackRock intends to invest in its own spot Bitcoin ETFs, along with other Bitcoin ETFs, leveraging its Global Allocation Fund, which boasts assets nearing $18 billion.
