As per data revealed by BitMEX, an exchange platform, showing how the 11 ETFs performed post-approval, BlackRock reported inflows of $1,085 million. Concurrently, Fidelity enjoyed $884 million in inflows while Bitwise registered $375 million in inflows, securing its position as the third-highest on the list. Following the top ranks were Ark 21Shares, Invesco, Franklin Templeton, Valkyrie, VanEck, Hashdex, and Wisdomtree.
Meanwhile, the story isn’t the same for Grayscale, as the firm was conspicuously absent from the list, indicating a potential setback for the firm. Recall that analysts indicated that the <a href="https://thecoinrise.com/anthony-scaramucci-reveals-catalyst-behind-bitcoin-price-slump/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">decline in Bitcoin’s price could be tied to the notable selling activities from Grayscale’s GBTC fund</a>, which underwent a conversion to a spot Bitcoin ETF after the regulator’s green light on the product.

The rise of spot Bitcoin ETFs is indicative of a broader trend in the financial landscape, where institutional investors are increasingly recognizing the potential of cryptocurrencies. Bitcoin, once considered a niche and volatile asset, is gaining traction as a legitimate investment class.&nbsp;
Meanwhile, the influx of funds from major players like BlackRock, Fidelity Investments, and Bitwise underscores a growing confidence in the maturation and stability of the cryptocurrency market. Investors are drawn not only by the potential for significant returns but also by the diversification benefits that digital assets can bring to their portfolios.&nbsp;

The US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) finally gave <a href="https://thecoinrise.com/us-sec-grants-official-approval-for-a-spot-bitcoin-etf/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">its green light to spot Bitcoin ETFs on January 10th</a>, and trading officially began the following day.&nbsp; Notably, <a href="https://thecoinrise.com/spot-bitcoin-etf-trading-volumes-soar-past-4-5-billion-on-day-1-solana-gains-momentum-inqubeta-nears-10-million-in-presale/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">spot Bitcoin ETFs trading surpassed $4.5 billion on its first day, </a>soaring past $1.74 billion in just the first hour.&nbsp;
As such, the development resulted in Bitcoin’s rally, which galloped past $48,000 shortly after markets opened up. Although Bitcoin has declined since then, its trajectory is bullish. Moreover, as the next halving creeps closer, Bitcoin is positioned as one of the best coins to invest in.&nbsp;
