U.S. spot bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) recorded a 15th consecutive day of net inflows on June 3. The 11 ETFs collectively added $105.12 million, pushing the total inflows during this streak to over $2.28 billion.
The cumulative net inflows for U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs since their inception now stand at $13.96 billion. Fidelity’s FBTC led the way with $77 million in inflows. Additionally, Bitwise’s BITB and Ark Invest’s ARKB added $14 million and $11 million, respectively.
