Summary
U.S.-listed spot bitcoin exchange-traded funds attracted more than $1 billion this week, signaling renewed but still tentative institutional demand. Bitcoin’s three steep rallies since January 2024 coincided with average daily ETF inflows above $200 million, compared with about $86 million a day since July 1. A sustained bitcoin rally may require stronger, steadier ETF inflows, though futures trading and direct purchases can also drive prices higher. These U.S.-listed funds have pulled in over $1 billion in investor money this week, according to SoSoValue data.
