BlackRock’s spot Bitcoin exchange-traded fund recorded a notable rebound in investor interest, attracting $231.6 million in net inflows following one of its steepest price drops since launch.
Bitcoin ETF Inflows Signal Resilient Demand
The inflows came after a volatile stretch for Bitcoin markets that triggered heavy withdrawals earlier in the week. Over two consecutive sessions, the fund saw more than $548 million exit as Bitcoin briefly slid toward the $60,000 level, weighing on overall crypto sentiment. Despite that pressure, Friday’s activity marked a clear reversal, with total inflows across US-listed spot Bitcoin ETFs reaching approximately $330.7 million.
So far in 2026, the BlackRock fund has logged net inflows on just 11 trading days, highlighting how cautious investor behavior has become amid heightened price swings.
ETF Price Volatility Reflects Broader Market Stress
The rebound followed a dramatic session in which the fund suffered a 13% decline, its second-largest single-day drop since inception. Trading volume surged during that sell-off, with shares changing hands at record levels, suggesting intense repositioning by institutional and retail participants.
Bitcoin has declined more than 24% over the past month and was trading near $69,800 at the time of reporting. While ETF holders are facing their largest unrealized losses since spot products launched in early 2024, cumulative inflows remain substantial, underscoring continued long-term interest despite short-term volatility.
