It was the third time in four trading days that BlackRock’s spot Bitcoin exchange-traded fund raked up over $300 million in inflows, Farside Investors data shows.

BlackRock’s IBIT continues to lead all spot Bitcoin ETF products — crossing the $23 billion mark in total net inflows on Oct. 21.

Bloomberg ETF analyst Eric Balchunas noted IBIT has posted the third-largest ETF inflows in 2024 — trailing only Vanguard and BlackRock’s S&P500 index funds, tickered VOO and IVV.

It comes as Bitcoin’s price dropped 3.25% to a daily low of $66,975 on Oct. 21 after failing to break the $70,000 price resistance. It cut into a 10-day price surge that saw Bitcoin rise from $59,000 to $69,130, CoinGecko data shows.

“Market selling off slightly today, as expected - and thats okay,” crypto trader Jelle said.

Other crypto traders like Emperor believe a price pullback to the $62,000 range may be on the cards this week after Bitcoin posted its highest weekly close in five months on Oct. 20.

Bitcoin’s price surge between Oct. 11 and Oct. 21 had been largely attributed to traders speculating on the upcoming US election.
