The iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) led with $110.4 million, while the Fidelity Physical Bitcoin ETP (FBTC) added $2.8 million. However, significant outflows were observed in the Grayscale Bitcoin Trust (GBTC), which saw a reduction of $53.9 million, and the Bitwise Bitcoin ETF (BITB), which faced a $6 million outflow.
The following day, July 18, continued this trend, with total inflows amounting to $84.8 million. The iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) again led with $102.7 million, maintaining its strong position. Minor inflows were recorded for the Fidelity Physical Bitcoin ETP (FBTC) and HODL ETF, at $2.8 million and $1.8 million respectively. Conversely, the Grayscale Bitcoin Trust (GBTC) continued to experience outflows, losing another $22.5 million.

This recent activity marks a cooling off compared to the substantial inflows observed on July 15 and 16, which saw $300.9 million and $422.5 million, respectively. The strong inflows earlier in the week were driven by significant contributions to the iShares (IBIT), Fidelity (FBTC), and Ark (ARKB). The current reduction suggests a possible stabilization or reassessment by investors following a period of high activity.
