Total weekly inflows fell to $599.59 million, down 67% from the previous week\u2019s $1.81 billion. This marked the lowest weekly inflow for Bitcoin ETFs since mid-April and continued a two-week trend of declining new capital.<\/p>\n<h2>BlackRock\u2019s IBIT Remains Dominant Despite Overall Drop<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/sosovalue.com\/assets\/etf\/us-btc-spot\">BlackRock\u2019s IBIT<\/a> continues to lead the <a href=\"https:\/\/coincentral.com\/bitcoin-etf-see-260m-surge-as-fidelity-quietly-overtakes-blackrock\/\">Bitcoin ETF <\/a>space with a strong asset base and high inflows. The fund added $356.20 million in net inflows on May 9, topping the daily chart again. Its total assets reached $64.45 billion, holding over half of all Bitcoin ETF assets.<\/p>\n<p>The product\u2019s cumulative inflows since inception reached $44.71 billion, reinforcing its strong market position. Trading volumes remained solid, contributing to IBIT&#8217;s market presence, while price performance on May 9 was positive. The ETF benefited from capital inflow and Bitcoin\u2019s price gains, driving asset growth.<\/p>\n<div>\n<dl id=\"attachment_37616\">\n<dt><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/coincentral.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Weekly-Bitcoin-ETF-inflow-data.-Source-SosoValue-.webp\" alt=\"Weekly Bitcoin ETF inflow data.

Source: SosoValue<\/dd>\n<\/dl>\n<\/div>\n<p>Daily volume for IBIT supported the broader market trend, with overall ETF turnover dropping from recent highs. Weekly volume declined to $9.27 billion, down from $13.23 billion the prior week. IBIT, however, maintained steady performance across trading activity and inflow metrics.<\/p>\n<h2>Fidelity\u2019s FBTC Holds Second While Grayscale\u2019s GBTC Sees Continued Outflows<\/h2>\n<p>Fidelity\u2019s FBTC stood firm in second place among Bitcoin ETFs, with $20.54 billion in total assets. On May 9, it saw $45 million in daily inflows, reflecting moderate demand. FBTC\u2019s consistent growth highlighted a stable position in the competitive ETF landscape.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/coincentral.com\/grayscale-launches-bitcoin-adopters-etf-bcor-tracking-companies-with-btc-treasury-holdings\/\">Grayscale\u2019s GBTC<\/a>, however, reported persistent outflows, with $65.16 million in net redemptions on May 9. Its total assets dropped to $19.47 billion, narrowing the gap with FBTC. Unlike spot ETFs with new inflows, GBTC faces net outflows weekly.<\/p>\n<p>Overall sentiment varied between the two funds as FBTC retained inflows while GBTC saw withdrawals. GBTC has now lost ground regarding total assets to IBIT and FBTC. The gap widens further as Bitcoin ETF investors prefer lower-fee or spot-based alternatives.<\/p>\n<h2>Other Bitcoin ETFs Show Mixed Results as Trading Volumes Decline<\/h2>\n<p>Ark\u2019s ARKB increased to $4.99 billion in assets, gaining from positive price movements and limited inflows. Franklin\u2019s EZBC led daily price action with a 0.16% gain on May 9, while ARKB and BRRR followed at 0.14%. However, Bitwise\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/moneycheck.com\/the-100k-bitcoin-question-will-massive-etf-inflows-push-btc-to-new-heights\/\">BITB<\/a> recorded outflows of $14.59 million, showing diverging sentiment.<\/p>\n<p>Despite the decline in overall inflow, daily flows remained positive, with $321.46 million recorded on May 9 across all ETFs. Aggregate daily trading volume reached $2.67 billion, reflecting continued but reduced activity. All funds except Hashdex\u2019s DEFI posted price gains on the day.<\/p>\n<p>Total net assets across all Bitcoin ETFs rose to $121.19 billion on May 9, up from $113.15 billion on May 2. About 34% of this came from cumulative inflows, showing that new capital supports asset growth.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>TLDR Bitcoin ETF inflows dropped by 67 percent to $599.59 million for the week ending May 8.
