<p>Bloomberg ETF analyst<a href="https://twitter.com/JSeyff" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" target="_blank"> James Seyffart</a> noted that the Bitcoin ETFs continue to operate smoothly across the board. He also said that inflows and outflows are part of the norm, regarding the “life of an ETF.”</p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">
 <p lang="en" dir="ltr">Should add — these ETFs are operating smoothly across the board. Inflows and outflows are part of the norm in the life of an ETF.</p>

<p>He also made a reference to BlackRock’s BTC ETF product, IBIT, saying that the company should unplug it and then plug it back in to fix things.</p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">
 <p lang="en" dir="ltr">Trying !! I’m on the phone with Blackrock right now. I’ve just suggested that they should unplug <a href="https://twitter.com/search?q=%24IBIT&amp;src=ctag&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" target="_blank">$IBIT</a> and then plug it back in. Will report back if they listen and if it fixes things.</p>

<p>BlackRock’s BTC ETF, IBIT, saw four days in a row with zero inflows and outflows, and yesterday was the first day when the company’s product witnessed an outflow.</p>
<p>This came after the company saw a 71-day inflow streak and according to analysts, the other day of outflows is normal considering the record that BlackRock witnessed.</p>
<p>On April 24, IBIT halted its 71-day inflow streak which triggered concerns as the fund has previously managed to attract new investments on a daily basis.</p>
<p>On January 11, 2024, IBIT started trading with only 2.621 BTC in holdings, but the company witnessed a significant increase in its holdings by 10,378%. Larry Fink, BlackRock’s CEO<a href="https://crypto.ro/en/news/blackrocks-spot-bitcoin-etf-is-the-fastest-growing-ever-larry-fink-says/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow"> said</a> that their BTC ETF product is the fastest-growing in history.</p>
