Grayscale Bitcoin Trust (GBTC), a pioneer in crypto investment products, once again attracted capital with an inflow of $3.9 million. This <a href="https://bitcoinist.com/grayscale-spot-bitcoin-etf/" target="_blank" rel="noopener ">positive trend</a> for the second day in a row underlines that the outflows at GBTC may have come to a halt, which could remove significant selling pressure. 
BlackRock’s IBIT also saw inflows for the second day in a row<a href="https://bitcoinist.com/blackrock-spot-bitcoin-etf-inflows/" target="_blank" rel="noopener "> after seeing zero net inflows</a> on six of the last seven days and one day of outflows, raising $21.5 million. Fidelity, another heavyweight in the financial sector, outshone others with the strongest inflows, drawing $99.2 million. 
Other ETF providers like Bitwise, ARK, Invesco, Franklin, and VanEck also saw positive flows, although less pronounced compared to the leaders. Bitwise added $2.1 million, ARK impressed with $75.6 million, Invesco secured $11.1 million, while both Franklin and VanEck recorded $1.8 million each. This collective uptrend across diverse providers suggests a broad-based recovery in investor sentiment towards spot Bitcoin ETFs.

Bloomberg ETF specialist Eric Balchunas commented on the phenomenon, noting the rarity of uniformly positive inflows and the resilience of ETF investors. He <a href="https://twitter.com/EricBalchunas/status/1787468690583081214" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">said</a>, “First time ever 1D flows all green, no red for the Bitcoin Bunch. Not going to spike the football like some did during the outflow period but will point out that over 95% of the ETF investors HOLD-ed during what was a pretty nasty and persistent downturn. Will same happen next time? Who knows, but track record says it will be pretty high % again. As we said, outflows will happen, so will inflows but over time two things tend to be true for ETFs: net growth and relatively strong hands.” 
Adam Blumberg, the co-founder of Interaxis, commented on the mature behavior of ETF investors, emphasizing their long-term perspective and resilience to volatility. “ETF investors aren’t trading. They’re not degens. They expect the volatility, and in for the long term benefit. When they’re investing 1-5%, the short term downturns also have a minimal effect on overall portfolio,” he explained. 
Adding to the optimism, a recent 13F filing revealed that Hightower, a $130 billion asset manager, purchased $68 million worth of spot Bitcoin ETFs. The diverse set of investments from Hightower in Bitcoin ETFs such as Grayscale, Fidelity, <a href="https://bitcoinist.com/blackrock-private-bitcoin-event/" target="_blank" rel="noopener ">BlackRock</a>, ARK, Bitwise, and Franklin Templeton illustrates a significant endorsement of Bitcoin from traditional financial institutions.
