U.S. spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) snapped a prolonged streak of Monday outflows, pulling in $458 million in net new capital on March 2. The figure marked one of the strongest single-day inflows this quarter so far and came with a clean sweep; none of the 12 listed Bitcoin ETFs posted redemptions.
According to data tracked by SoSoValue, BlackRock’s IBIT amassed the largest inflow of $263.19 million, followed by Fidelity’s FBTC with $94.80 million. Additionally, Bitwise’s BITB accumulated $36.40 million, VanEck’s HODL had $19.54 million, and Grayscle’s BTC pocketed $18.36 million.
Franklin Templeton’s EZBC got a decent $13.98 million, lastly followed by Invesco’s BTCO and ARK 21 Share’s ARKB, with $6.20 million and $5.73 million, respectively.
Total assets under management (AUM) in the products climbed to roughly $88.34 billion, even as cumulative net inflows since the funds’ 2024 launch sit at about $55 billion.
The rebound arrives against a turbulent backdrop. Bitcoin dipped toward $63,000 over the weekend amid escalating U.S.-Iran tensions and broader geopolitical jitters in the Middle East, only to rebound sharply. At the time of publishing, Bitcoin was trading near $66,625 as per data from CoinMarketCap, paring some gains but holding above key support levels after touching as high as $70,100 in intraday moves.
Elsewhere in the ETF space, spot Ethereum products recorded $38.69 million in net inflows across all nine funds, with no outflows reported. BlackRock’s Ethereum offering led the pack in ETH too. XRP spot ETFs, which began trading late last year following Ripple’s regulatory resolution, drew in $6.97 million.
