Bitcoin ETFs Add $2.7B in ‘Uptober’ Despite Tariff Fears

US spot Bitcoin ETFs demonstrated impressive performance in October, securing $2.71 billion in weekly inflows amid market fluctuations caused by President Trump's tariff announcement on Chinese imports. Despite a brief outflow in response to the tariff news, institutional interest remains high, with total assets under management for Bitcoin ETFs reaching approximately $158.96 billion, nearly 7% of Bitcoin's total market capitalization. Notably, Monday saw the largest single-day inflow of $1.21 billion since the inception of these ETFs, followed by strong inflows of $875.61 million on Tuesday. Leading the market was BlackRock’s IBIT, which recorded $74.2 million in daily inflows, while Fidelity’s FBTC and Grayscale’s GBTC experienced outflows. Analysts view the recent surge in applications, with 31 submissions to the SEC over the past two months, as indicative of a potential surge in crypto ETFs, reflecting increased institutional adoption in the sector.
