Bitcoin ETFs take in $1.7B in 2 days as BTC tops holder cost basis
US spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds drew more than $1.7 billion in net inflows over Monday and Tuesday as Bitcoin traded above the estimated average cost basis of ETF investors. Total assets across those ETFs reached about $111 billion on Tuesday, recovering from a June low but still below the January peak.
Why It Matters
The inflows and price move mark a shift in ETF investor profitability, with the average holder estimated to be back 'above water' for the first time since January. That dynamic can influence investor behavior and fund flows in the near term.
