U.S. spot bitcoin ETFs gained about $527 million overall on Oct. 19 as withdrawals from two rival funds offset part of IBIT’s inflow.
BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) attracted $665 million in net inflows on Oct. 19, its strongest day since October 2025 and enough to outweigh withdrawals from rival U.S. spot Bitcoin (BTC) funds.
Across U.S. spot bitcoin exchange-traded funds, net inflows totaled about $527 million. Fidelity’s FBTC posted $83.6 million in net outflows, while Grayscale’s GBTC shed $54.9 million.
IBIT’s last larger daily inflow was on Oct. 7, 2025. Its previous daily inflow above $600 million this year was about $648 million on Jan. 14. The latest inflow followed two weeks of withdrawals from U.S. spot bitcoin ETFs: about $679 million from Oct. 5 to 9 and $228 million from Oct. 12 to 16.
Bitcoin traded near $81,500 at 4 a.m. ET (08:00 UTC) on Oct. 20, down about 1.4% over the preceding 24 hours.
