Translating this data into Bitcoin terms, a staggering 14,706 BTC flowed into ETFs on that single day, further highlighting the growing adoption of the digital asset.

Next up was ARK 21Shares Bitcoin ETF (ARKB) with $93 million inflows, followed by Fidelity’s FBTC spot bitcoin ETF (FTBC) and Bitwise Bitcoin ETF (BITB) with $51.6 million and $24.6 million, respectively, on the same day.

Valkyrie ‘BRRR’ saw $39.6 million while the WisdomTree Bitcoin Fund (BTCW) settled with $3 million during the same period.

Meanwhile, VanEck’s HODL recorded a whopping $82.9 million inflows. The uptick follows VanEck’s announcement of a temporary reduction in the management fee for its spot Bitcoin ETF.

The fee, previously set at 0.2%, will be waived until March 31, 2025, unless the fund accumulates $1.5 billion in assets before that deadline. This move aims to boost the fund’s appeal, especially considering its assets lag behind those of its rivals.

Grayscale Bitcoin Trust (GBTC) Outflow Reduces

The Grayscale Bitcoin Trust (GBTC) has seen a significant change in investor sentiment, as evidenced by a decrease in outflows on March 12. Data indicated that outflows dipped significantly to only $79 million on that day, in stark contrast to the outflows witnessed in the weeks prior.

Interestingly, BitMEX Research flagged a record outflow on March 11 when GBTC witnessed $494 million worth of BTC leaving the fund.

Amid intense competition from its rival players, asset management giant Grayscale filed an S-1 form with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to introduce the Grayscale Bitcoin Mini Trust, a scaled-down version of a Bitcoin ETF Alongside tax benefits, this new offering also aims to mitigate outflows
