BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) broke its 13-day long streak of flat or negative flows, with the fund Monday taking in $15.8 million, according to data from Farside Investors.
During its losing streak, IBIT's net outflows summed to $23.1 million, a small amount versus the more than $20 billion in assets under management at the fund. The 10 U.S.-based spot ETFs as a whole had about $1 billion in outflows over the same period.
