The introduction of Spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) in the United States marked a historic milestone for the cryptocurrency market. These Spot Bitcoin ETFs, which first went live in the US on January 11, 2024, have had massive success in just one year, making them the greatest ETF launch in history.

This projection comes amidst a staggering performance by these Bitcoin ETFs in the past few days where they have attracted over $2 billion in weekly netflows.

U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs experienced significant outflows yesterday, totaling $287 million, with BlackRock being the only exception, reporting no withdrawals.
