Bitcoin investors have sent over $650 million into United States-listed spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) over the last three trading days. 
It comes after another strong day of net inflows for the 11 Bitcoin (<a href="https://cointelegraph.com/bitcoin-price">BTC</a>) ETFs on July 9. BlackRock’s <a href="https://cointelegraph.com/learn/bitcoin-etfs-a-beginners-guide-to-exchange-traded-funds">Bitcoin ETF</a>, known as the iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT), pulled in $121 million in inflows, followed by Fidelity Wise Origin Bitcoin (FBTC), which raked in $91 million. 
Total net inflows across all ETFs for July 9 came to $216.4 million, or 3,760 Bitcoin, per <a href="https://farside.co.uk/?p=997" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">data</a> from Farside Investors.

The burst of inflows, which includes <a href="https://cointelegraph.com/news/bitcoin-etf-investors-buy-the-dip-daily-inflows-hit-295-million">$294.8 million on</a>&nbsp;July 8, and $143.1 million on July 5, totals $654 million over the past three trading days.
Bitcoin has failed to climb back over $60,000 since July 4. It is currently trading for $59,165, <a href="https://www.tradingview.com/symbols/BTCUSD/?exchange=COINBASE" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">according</a> to TradingView, down almost 15% over the past month. 
Some analysts hope the ETFs will help drive up the price of Bitcoin, as it did in the months leading up to March, when Bitcoin notched a new all-time high. 
“The run-up from $16K to $73K was largely driven by the ETFs, following a buy-the-rumor buy-the-news phenomenon,” wrote Sina G, the co-founder and chief operating officer of Bitcoin custody consultancy firm 21st Capital, in an <a href="https://cointelegraph.com/news/bitcoin-price-56k-us-stocks-fresh-all-time-highs">analysis thread</a> on X. 
“Up to mid-March ETF flows were very strong and the market moved up. Since then, ETFs slowed down and bankruptcy outflows took over, causing a weak price action all the way down to $56K,” he wrote.

Inflows to US Bitcoin ETFs haven’t been enough to outpace a <a href="https://cointelegraph.com/news/german-government-prepares-next-276m-btc-selloff">recent Bitcoin selling spree</a> from Germany’s Bundeskriminalamt (BKA), the country’s federal criminal police, which seized nearly 50,000 Bitcoin in mid-January amid a probe into a movie pirating website.

Since July 5, the BKA’s wallet has <a href="https://platform.arkhamintelligence.com/explorer/entity/germany" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">reduced</a> its BTC holdings by more than $850 million, with hundreds of millions in Bitcoin sent back and forth (mostly forth) to <a href="https://cointelegraph.com/explained/crypto-wallets-explained">wallets</a> owned by centralized exchanges and market makers, according to Arkham Intelligence. 
Its wallet now holds 23,960 Bitcoin, worth $1.4 billion, less than half of the total Bitcoin originally seized from the film piracy site Movie2k in mid-January.

Onchain data from Arkham shows that the BKA began selling Bitcoin on June 19 and ramped up its efforts at the beginning of July.
