Deep dives

Bitcoin ETF sees strong net inflows in its first week

The newly launched Bitcoin ETFs have seen significant net inflows, with more than $2 billion in assets under management in total. This represents a categorical win for the ETFs, as most new launches typically see only a fraction of these inflows. Additionally, three out of the nine ETFs are already among the top 10 ETFs in terms of trading volume. This indicates a strong demand for Bitcoin exposure through these ETFs.
