CryptoSlate highlighted that IBIT experienced 49 days of continuous inflows, a streak that Eric Balchunas, Senior ETF Analyst for Bloomberg, has now updated to 50 consecutive days. Fidelity's FBTC and BlackRock's IBIT have set a record with the longest active streak of daily inflows.

Balchunas further notes that despite its milestone, there's still a significant gap to surpass the all-time record of 160 days of inflows set by JEPI.
