U.S. spot bitcoin ETFs recorded $358.1 million in net inflows on Thursday, reversing two consecutive days of outflows, with BlackRock's IBIT leading at $269.3 million, per data compiled by Farside Investors. Fidelity's FBTC attracted $53.3 million, followed by Bitwise's BITB at $11.7 million and ARK's ARKB at $4.8 million. GBTC and BTC recorded no flows for the session.
Morgan Stanley's MSBT, which began trading on Wednesday, contributed $14.9 million on Thursday after pulling in $30.6 million on its debut — bringing its two-day total to $45.5 million.
Speaking on Bloomberg TV on Thursday, Amy Oldenburg, Morgan Stanley's head of digital assets, said the launch exceeded internal expectations. "It was the best first day of trading for any of our ETFs," she said. "We had to start with bitcoin, but this is just the first of a long road map of new products both on the asset management side and the wealth business."
Spot Ether ETFs also returned to positive territory, with total inflows of $85.2 million, likewise reversing two days of outflows. ETH was trading around $2,200, roughly 0.5% up on the day and up 6.7% on the week.
Bitcoin was trading at $72,235, up 1.68% on the day and 8.16% on the week. The market is approaching a key technical area, with BTC pressing into a $6 billion short liquidity cluster between $72,200 and $73,500 — a level where a sustained break could trigger a cascade of forced liquidations.
Solana traded at $83.30, up 0.87% on the day.
