The spot Bitcoin ETF market has been buzzing with activity, particularly following the Federal Reserve’s recent rate cuts. Institutions are rapidly <a href="https://x.com/dotkrueger/status/1839869655269134348">capitalizing</a> on this momentum, with Friday alone seeing $495 million in <a href="https://thecoinrise.com/spot-bitcoin-etfs-see-365m-inflow-as-bitcoin-soars-above-65000/">inflows to Bitcoin ETFs</a>. 
By the end of the week, the total inflows had <a href="https://sosovalue.xyz/assets/etf/us-btc-spot">surged</a> to over $1 billion, underscoring the massive demand from institutional investors. This accumulation comes against the backdrop of Bitcoin’s daily production rate of 450 BTC, highlighting how quickly ETFs are scooping up the available supply. 
Leading the pack in this Bitcoin buying frenzy is Ark Invest’s ARKB, which took in $203 million on Friday. Fidelity’s FBTC followed with $123 million in inflows, while BlackRock’s IBIT secured $111.7 million. Collectively, these three ETF giants pulled 6,661 Bitcoins from the market in a single day, according to data from Farside Investors. 
Notably, these investment funds have attracted $18.8 billion in net cumulative inflow since their launch.

With more than 17,000 Bitcoins funneled into ETFs this week, institutional demand is at an all-time high. The impact on Bitcoin’s price has been substantial, <a href="https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/bitcoin/">pushing</a> it up 4.5% over the past week to $65,800, with a total market capitalization now at $1.3 trillion. 
This rise in demand is a clear indicator that large-scale investors are looking at Bitcoin as a safe haven asset amid macroeconomic uncertainties, especially inflationary pressures. 
Beyond Bitcoin ETFs, companies like MicroStrategy are also fueling demand. <a href="https://thecoinrise.com/microstrategy-stock-races-ahead-leaving-bitcoin-in-the-dust/">MicroStrategy alone acquired 7,000 Bitcoin this week</a>, adding further pressure on the limited supply and supporting the recent price rally. The combined demand from ETFs and institutional buyers like MicroStrategy has led to significant price action, with Bitcoin gaining 5% in just the past seven days.

BlackRock, the world’s largest asset manager, has been steadily increasing its holdings of its own spot Bitcoin ETF, IBIT, as part of its long-term strategy. According to its latest SEC <a href="https://www.sec.gov/edgar/search/#/q=Bitcoin&amp;dateRange=custom&amp;entityName=BLACKROCK%2520GLOBAL&amp;startdt=2024-09-27&amp;enddt=2024-09-27">filing</a>, BlackRock reported holding 198,874 shares of IBIT in its Global Allocation Fund as of July 31. This marks a dramatic increase from the 43,000 shares held in June. 
With more than $21.3 billion in inflows just nine months after its launch, BlackRock’s Bitcoin ETF is quickly becoming a dominant force in the market. This reflects investors’ growing confidence in the cryptocurrency as a hedge against inflation and long-term store of value.
