Out of 10 approved ETFs, Grayscale Bitcoin Trust (GBTC) and Invesco Galaxy Bitcoin ETF (BTCO) were the only two record net outflows on March 5, worth $332.5 million and $14.2 million, respectively.


The day’s net inflows were primarily fueled by IBIT, and supported by Fidelity Wise Origin Bitcoin Fund ($125.6 million), Bitwise Bitcoin ETF ($3.7 million), ARK 21Shares Bitcoin ETF ($63.7 million), Franklin Bitcoin ETF ($3.6 million), VanEck Bitcoin Trust ETF ($3.5 million) and WisdomTree Bitcoin ETF (6.6).


Valkyrie Bitcoin ETF, on the other hand, recorded $0 in inflows. In total, the Bitcoin ETF ecosystem has netted $8.5 billion in inflows to date, even after considering GBTC’s consistent outflows, which now cumulatively stands at $9.6 billion.


Historical data confirms that IBIT and Franklin Bitcoin ETF (FBTC) bring in the largest inflows to the ecosystem, in addition to never reporting net outflows. IBIT and FBTC contributed $9.16 billion and $5.3 billion in total as of March 5.


In contrast, Grayscale’s GBTC Bitcoin holdings have fallen 33%, from 620,000 BTC at the time its GBTC fund was converted into an ETF to about 420,680 BTC at the time of writing.
