BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust ETF also saw a significant net inflow of $20.38 million on the same day, bringing its historical total to $20.38 billion.


The continued positive inflows into spot Bitcoin ETFs come at a time when their total net asset value stands at $54.35 billion. The ETF net asset ratio, which represents the market value of ETFs as a percentage of the total market value of Bitcoin, is currently at 4.65%. 


Historical cumulative net inflows have reached $17.37 billion, further illustrating the growing acceptance and integration of spot Bitcoin ETFs in the broader investment landscape. An Aug. 14 US Securities and Exchange Commission filing reveals that Morgan Stanley holds $188 million worth of shares in a spot Bitcoin ETF.
