On March 5, 2024, a remarkable milestone for <a href="https://coingape.com/education/bitcoin-spot-etf/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Spot Bitcoin ETF</a> was seen in the United States as it witnessed an unprecedented surge in inflows. Notably, according to provisional <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://farside.co.uk/?p=997" target="_blank">data</a> by Farside UK, the U.S. Spot Bitcoin ETF has garnered approximately $662.5 million in inflows, marking one of its highest daily inflows to date.
However, the spotlight shines on BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) and Fidelity’s FBTC, which collectively amassed over $900 million in inflows. Notably, BlackRock’s IBIT reported an impressive influx of $788.3 million, underscoring the growing confidence of institutional investors in Bitcoin as a viable asset class. In addition, <a href="https://coingape.com/fidelity-bitcoin-etf-clocks-record-inflows-above-400-million-trading-volumes-skyrocket/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Fidelity’s FBTC</a> recorded a significant inflow of $125.6 million, further solidifying institutional support for digital assets.
In contrast, <a href="https://coingape.com/breaking-grayscale-launches-multi-asset-staking-fund/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Grayscale’s</a> Bitcoin Trust (GBTC) continued to experience robust outflows, with March 5 witnessing an outflow of $332.5 million. Despite this, the overall sentiment towards Bitcoin ETFs remains bullish, fueled by positive market momentum and increasing institutional participation.

The surge in Bitcoin ETF inflows coincided with <a href="https://coingape.com/breaking-bitcoin-achieves-all-time-high-climbing-above-69k/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Bitcoin’s ascent</a> to a new all-time high, breaching the $69,000 mark. Notably, market pundits attribute this rally to the positive momentum in the Bitcoin ETF space, coupled with anticipation surrounding the upcoming <a href="https://coingape.com/glossary/bitcoin-halving/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Bitcoin Halving</a> and burgeoning global demand for digital assets.
However, the euphoria surrounding Bitcoin’s price rally was short-lived, with the cryptocurrency plummeting to as low as $59,000 after reaching its peak on March 5. The recent decline has sparked discussions in the crypto market while reflecting the volatile nature of digital assets.
Meanwhile, <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://platform.spotonchain.ai/en/entity/1948" target="_blank">according</a> to Spot On Chain, the sudden <a href="https://coingape.com/crypto-market-crash-bitcoin-btc-price-ready-for-25-correction-amid-miner-dumping/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Bitcoin crash</a> was exacerbated by the actions of a dormant whale, who deposited 1,000 BTC, valued at approximately $67.1 million, to Coinbase at $67,116. Notably, this move, allegedly driven by profit-taking, underscores the inherent volatility and speculative nature of the <a href="https://coingape.com/glossary/cryptocurrency/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">cryptocurrency</a> market.
