GBTC witnessed a total of $352.2 million outflows, while FBTC and BITB amassed approximately $25.4 million and $9.8 million outflows, respectively.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>At the time only a handful of Spot Bitcoin ETFs experienced inflows, including Ark 21Shares Bitcoin ETF, ARKB, Franklin Templeton\u2019s Bitcoin ETF, EZBC and Fidelity\u2019s, accumulating total inflows of $9.6 million, $1.9 million, and $5.6 million, respectively.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Following the temporary halt on IBIT\u2019s inflows and the increase in outflows from other Spot Bitcoin ETFs, the price of Bitcoin witnessed a sharp decline. Over the past week, the world\u2019s largest cryptocurrency recorded a whopping 6.29% decrease, and another 2.56% drop in the past 24 hours, according to CoinMarketCap. These consistent declines have pushed Bitcoin\u2019s price down further, to trade at $62,227, at the time of writing.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Are_Investors_Losing_Interest_In_Bitcoin_ETFs\"><\/span>Are Investors Losing Interest In Bitcoin ETFs?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Since its Spot Bitcoin ETF launch, BlackRock has <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/nategeraci\/status\/1766360686769189152?s=46\">recorded<\/a> a net inflow of over $13 billion.

Conversely, a decline in inflows has instigated a significant price drop for Bitcoin.<\/p>\n<p>Bloomberg analyst, James Seyffart, as a prominent ETF expert has unraveled the mystery behind the unusual halt in BlackRock\u2019s Spot Bitcoin ETF inflows.
