  • U.S Spot Bitcoin ETFs bounced back strongly on Friday with over $100M inflows.  
  • The inflows coincided with BTC regaining momentum after hitting a four-month low.  
  • Observers emphasized how the inflows depict a strong outlook for Bitcoin.

Net inflows to U.S. spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) surged on Friday, highlighting rejuvenated investor confidence despite BTCโ€™s weeklong volatility.

The 11 Nasdaq-listed ETFs attracted over 100 million on the same day that Bitcoinโ€™s price plunged below $55,000 for the first time in four months. The crypto asset traded at a low of $53,717 on Friday before pairing the gains to reclaim $56,000 on July 6.

Fidelityโ€™s FBTC fund led the dayโ€™s inflows with $117.4 million, followed by Bitwiseโ€™s BITB, VanEckโ€™s HODL, and Ark Investโ€™s ARKB at $30.2 million, $12.8 million, and $11.3 million, respectively.

All the remaining funds except for the Grayscale Bitcoin Trust (GBTC) posted $0 inflows. The GBTC fund, which recently lost its Bitcoin ETF crown for most assets under management to BlackRockโ€™s IBIT, saw a total net outflow of $28.6 million.

The strong inflows into the Bitcoin ETFs follow a market turbulence that saw BTC and other crypto assets tumble, with some recording double-digit losses. According to Bloombergโ€™s James Seyffart, the funds are doing the โ€œexact opposite of dumping,โ€ meaning investors arenโ€™t inclined to sell out of fear.

Commenting on the inflows, Hunter Horsley, CEO of Bitwise Asset Management, urged users to buy the dip as the โ€œoutlook for Bitcoin has never been stronger.โ€

Bitcoin exchanged hands at $56,479 as of press time after gaining 3.94% in the last 24 hours, CoinMarketCap data shows.
