U.S. spot bitcoin ETFs pulled in $358.1 million in net inflows on Thursday, reversing two straight days of withdrawals and signaling renewed institutional appetite. BlackRock’s IBIT drove the surge with $269.3 million in new capital, followed by Fidelity’s FBTC at $53.3 million, Bitwise’s BITB with $11.7 million, and ARK’s ARKB adding $4.8 million. Grayscale’s GBTC and Valkyrie’s BTC saw no activity for the session.
Morgan Stanley’s MSBT added $14.9 million on day two after a $30.6 million debut, bringing its total to $45.5 million — the strongest start for any ETF in the firm’s history, according to Amy Oldenburg, Morgan Stanley’s head of digital assets. She called the launch “the best first day of trading for any of our ETFs” and confirmed bitcoin is just the first step in a broader product roadmap.
Spot Ether ETFs also rebounded, drawing $85.2 million in combined inflows after three days of declines. The buying pressure helped lift bitcoin to $72,235, a 1.68% gain on the day and 8.16% weekly rise. Ethereum traded near $2,200, up 0.5% on the day. The momentum pushes bitcoin toward a $6 billion short liquidity zone between $72,200 and $73,500 — a level where a sustained move above could force leveraged sellers to exit, accelerating upward price action.
