BlackRock's IBIT Drives Weekly Bitcoin ETF Inflows to $301.2M

US spot Bitcoin ETFs saw net inflows of $301.2M for the week ending October 23, driven entirely by BlackRock's IBIT.

US spot Bitcoin ETFs saw net inflows of $301.2M for the week ending October 23, driven entirely by BlackRock's IBIT. Bitcoin (BTC) is trading at ₹76,77,829 ($80,818.00). This is an original Token Times brief based on reporting by Live Bitcoin News, with live market data added, as of Sun, 25 Oct 2026 01:00:01 UTC.

Why it matters

The strong inflows into BlackRock's IBIT highlight the continued institutional interest in Bitcoin ETFs, even as other funds experience outflows. This could indicate a shift in investor preference towards specific fund providers within the ETF market.

Key takeaways
  • US spot Bitcoin ETFs net inflows totaled $301.2M for the week.
  • BlackRock's IBIT accounted for all inflows with $565.7M.
  • Fidelity's FBTC and ARK 21Shares' ARKB posted outflows.
  • Bitcoin's price remained relatively stable despite ETF activity.

US spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded a net inflow of $301.2 million for the week ending October 23, according to data from Farside Investors reported by Live Bitcoin News.

BlackRock's IBIT was the standout performer, contributing the entire net inflow with $565.7 million in new investments. This indicates strong institutional interest in BlackRock's offering.

However, other major ETFs did not fare as well. Fidelity's FBTC and ARK 21Shares' ARKB both experienced net outflows, suggesting a shift in investor preference towards BlackRock's product.

Despite the positive inflows, Bitcoin's price remained relatively stable, with a 24-hour decrease of 0.38% and a 7-day decline of 0.57%. This suggests that the ETF inflows have not yet translated into significant price movements.

The broader crypto market also remained flat, with a total market cap of $2.77 trillion. The Fear & Greed index remained in the 'Neutral' zone at 54, indicating a lack of strong sentiment either way.
