Financial services giant Fidelity’s Wise Origin Bitcoin Trust (FBTC) accounted for the lion’s share of inflows at $222.3 million. It was followed by <a href="https://coingape.com/blackrocks-strategy-poised-to-spike-bitcoin-prices-expert-says/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">BlackRock</a>’s iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) ETF, which drew investments worth $201.5 million.

<h2 id="grayscale-s-spot-bitcoin-etf-sees-outflows-of-590m-on-day-6">Grayscale’s Spot Bitcoin ETF Sees Outflows of $590M on Day 6</h2> 
While other funds made gains, the Grayscale Bitcoin Trust (GBTC) continued to see sizeable outflows, with more than $590 million in assets flowing out of GBTC on the sixth day of trading. Investors have been exiting GBTC partly because Grayscale levies a higher fee on its Bitcoin ETF as compared to rivals. 
The fund outflows can also be attributed to profit-taking on Grayscale’s GBTC, with some investors looking to exploit the fund’s discount to net asset value. Assets worth over $2 billion have exited GBTC since it was converted into a Bitcoin ETF last week, <a href="https://coingape.com/bitcoin-etf-grayscales-gbtc-records-580-mln-net-outflow-on-day-5/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">CoinGape News reported</a> earlier. 
On the other hand, nine spot Bitcoin ETFs, minus Grayscale’s GBTC, have cumulatively purchased $79,618 Bitcoin (BTC) since their launch, valued at over $3.2 billion, as per data provided by CCCapital15’s X handle. 
<h2 id="etf-issuers-suck-up-796-bitcoin-on-day-6">ETF Issuers Suck Up 796 Bitcoin On Day 6</h2> 
Spot Bitcoin ETF issuers scooped up another net&nbsp; 796.6 Bitcoin on their sixth trading day, data from X (formerly Twitter) account BitMEX Research showed. This implies that a net $33 million worth of Bitcoin was added to their holdings. 
It’s also worth mentioning that spot Bitcoin ETFs run by BlackRock, Fidelity, and Bitwise were among the top 10 most-traded ETFs in the US over the past week. Furthermore, the asset size of Grayscale and Fidelity’s Bitcoin ETFs had crossed $1 billion after just five days of trading. 
While the broader impact of Bitcoin ETFs on the crypto market remains to be seen, it is already being heralded as a game-changer by many crypto pundits, with Bitcoin advocate and author <a href="https://coingape.com/bitcoin-etfs-set-to-boost-retail-investment-says-crypto-veteran/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Vijay Boyapati</a> saying ETFs would boost retail investment into Bitcoin.
