US Spot Bitcoin ETFs Flip to $74.6M Inflows as FBTC Leads
US spot Bitcoin ETFs flipped back to net inflows on Wednesday, November 4. The move ended a three-session stretch of heavy redemptions. The funds took in $74.6 million, per Farside Investors. Fidelity's FBTC led with $236.7 million in creations. BlackRock's IBIT still shed $201.2 million. The pause follows about $1.16 billion of combined withdrawals across the prior three sessions. That is a tape crypto ETFs desks watch for institutional Bitcoin demand.
US Spot Bitcoin ETFs Return After $1.16B Outflow Streak
Farside's ledger shows the Wednesday print followed outflows of $643.2 million on October 30, $398.6 million on November 2, and $115.6 million on November 3. That sequence matches the multi-day bleed covered in earlier Bitcoin ETF outflow sessions. Against that $1.16 billion hole, $74.6 million is a modest rebound, not a full repair.
Issuer activity was uneven. Fidelity's Wise Origin Bitcoin Fund (FBTC) supplied the bulk of the day. Its $236.7 million inflow was enough to push the group positive even with selling elsewhere.
Fidelity FBTC Leads While BlackRock IBIT Keeps Selling
FBTC posted the largest positive flow among the listed spot funds on November 4. ARK Invest and 21Shares' ARKB added $19.9 million. Bitwise's BITB took in $15.2 million. Invesco's BTCO added $4 million. IBIT, BlackRock's iShares Bitcoin Trust, saw $201.2 million leave. That was the day's largest single outflow. It cut into the net lift from FBTC and peers.
The split shows why a green category total can still hide pressure. A positive aggregate only sums creations and redemptions across all funds. It does not mean every issuer drew capital. Other listed spot funds reported no net flow for the session, Farside said. FBTC, with smaller gains at ARKB, BITB, and BTCO, outweighed IBIT's exit.
Why the $74.6M Print Matters After Heavy Redemptions
The $74.6 million inflow pauses the recent withdrawal trend. It remains small next to the prior $1.16 billion outflow sequence. Capital returned to the ETF group, but it concentrated in a few products.
FBTC's $236.7 million inflow versus IBIT's $201.2 million outflow left a $35.5 million gap between those two funds alone before the remaining ETFs. A positive group print can sit next to continued selling in a major fund. IBIT kept losing money even as Fidelity and several rivals attracted new creations. Flow watchers will track whether FBTC's lead broadens. They will also watch whether IBIT redemptions keep capping the rebound.
