BlackRock’s IBIT emerged as the frontrunner, attracting a staggering $117.25 million in net inflows on Monday, marking it as the most actively traded Bitcoin ETF with $1.24 billion in trading volume.

The influx of capital into spot Bitcoin ETFs seemingly coincided with a positive price movement for the underlying asset. Bitcoin rose 2.70% in the past 24 hours.

Fidelity’s FBTC, the once-hot ETF, bore the brunt of the selling pressure, seeing its second-largest net outflow day ever with $106 million leaving the fund.
Even with positive inflation data, the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) decided to keep the federal funds rate target range at 5.25% to 5.50% during their June meeting.
