Bitcoin’s price soared to $71,200 on Tuesday, only 4% away from its all-time high of $73,700 established earlier in March, according to data from TradingView. The rally comes on the heels of massive inflows into US spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs).
Data from HODL15Capital shows that US Bitcoin funds collectively witnessed $887 million in net inflows on June 4, marking the second-highest such inflow ever recorded.
Leading the charge, the Fidelity Wise Origin Bitcoin Fund amassed an impressive $378 million, while BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust followed with $275 million, according to insights from Farside Investors and HODL15Capital. The ARK 21Shares Bitcoin ETF claimed the third spot with over $138 million in net inflows.
These inflows marked a significant milestone, being the most substantial since March 12, which saw a record-setting $1.04 billion influx. The following day, Bitcoin reached a peak of $73,700.
