Spot Bitcoin ETF Attracts Nearly $2 Billion in First 3 Days！

Recently,Is Xijia Foreign Exchange a formal company a series of newly launched spot Bitcoin ETFs on the US market drew intense interest from investors in the first three days following their debut. These ETFs attracted approximately $1.9 billion of capital in just three days, a notable figure that highlights the high level of investor attention for such new financial products. The strong performance of these ETFs not only indicates the popularity of Bitcoin and related financial products in the traditional investment realm but also suggests the increasing stature of digital currencies in the mainstream financial market.

These ETFs are led by fund giants including BlackRock and Fidelity, which accounted for the lion's share of this inflow. The collective influx of these funds surpassed the record $1.2 billion attracted by the ProShares Bitcoin Strategy ETF in its first three days following the launch in 2021, and the $1.13 billion by the SPDR Gold Shares ETF in its inaugural three days in 2004.

The much-anticipated ETFs debuted on January 11, just one day before approval by the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Despite initial investments being lower than the tens of billions of dollars expected, market participants are still observing how much these funds—which track the famously volatile cryptocurrency—will continue to attract retail and institutional investors, and which issuers will emerge as the ultimate winners. Some optimistic analysts predict that by the end of this year, inflows into these funds could reach between $50 billion and $100 billion.

Since January 11, Bitcoin's price has fallen by more than 8%, after having risen for several months in anticipation that the ETFs would ultimately gain SEC approval.

Under the current circumstances, lower fees and brand recognition seem to be key factors attracting investors. For instance, BlackRock's iShares Bitcoin Trust ETF drew in more than $700 million, while Fidelity's Wise Origin Bitcoin Fund exceeded $500 million. The fees for these new ETFs range from 0.19% to 0.39% without any discounts. Both BlackRock and Fidelity charge notably lower fees for their ETFs compared to the average ETF fees.

Meanwhile, the Grayscale Bitcoin Trust (GBTC), which has a fee of 1.5%, experienced outflows this month. The trust turned into an ETF while other ETFs were launching and saw an outflow of $1.16 billion in the first three trading days.

The next challenge for these ETFs might be gaining recognition among institutional investors, such as pension funds, and investment advisors. Investors and asset management companies will pay more attention in the upcoming months to how these spot Bitcoin ETFs can be appropriately allocated in their investment portfolios.
