BlackRock Rescued Bitcoin ETFs’ Week while the Rest Bled

For the five sessions from Oct. 19 to 23, bitcoin exchange-traded funds recorded a weekly net inflow of $301.2 million, with BlackRock’s IBIT taking in $565.7 million while all other funds combined lost $264.5 million. Friday’s data was incomplete because VanEck’s HODL was unreported, so the weekly total may change. The result ended two consecutive losing weeks, which had outflows of $678.9 million and $228.4 million, and recovered about a third of that $907 million. Flow figures track shares created or redeemed by authorized participants, not trades between investors, so outflows do not necessarily mean bitcoin was sold.
