The inflow was uneven across issuers, highlighting diverging investor preferences within spot Bitcoin ETFs. BlackRock’s IBIT dominated the inflows with $47.3M in them, while Morgan Stanley’s MSBT was in with $9.87M.

Bitcoin is trading around $62,878 with high trading volume and a market capitalization of around $1.24 trillion. As macroeconomic conditions and flows drive overall market direction, the BlackRock ETF remains a key driver of institutional demand trends.
