BlackRock’s IBIT spot Bitcoin exchange-traded fund (ETF) recorded its first daily net inflow since August 26, attracting $15.8 million in new investments.
The inflow on Monday broke a three-week drought during which the fund experienced no positive flows, according to data from SoSoValue.

Fidelity’s FBTC brought in $5.1 million, Franklin Templeton’s EZBC attracted $5 million, and VanEck’s HODL fund gained $4.9 million.

Despite the recent slowdown in inflows, BlackRock’s IBIT continues to lead in overall net inflows for spot Bitcoin ETFs.
