Commenting on Tuesday’s massive inflow, Bloomberg ETF analyst Eric Balchunas called the inflow the “third wave,’
“Fidelity, no fuss, big money is pouring in all over the place today for The Ten, almost $1 billion in total. Second best day ever, since mid-March. $3.3 billion in the last four weeks, net YTD $15 billion (which was the high end of our last twelve month estimate). The ‘third wave’ is turning into a tidal wave.’
BlackRock’s Bitcoin ETF surpassed $20 billion
BlackRock’s IBIT also recorded substantial inflows on Tuesday, reaching $274.4 million. The recent influx of IBIT has effectively pushed its AUM (assets under management) past the $20 billion mark.
As of June 3, BlackRock held 291.5K BTC, which was worth $20.1 billion based on current market prices.
Moreover, 21Shares/ARK Invest’s ARKB also recorded significant inflows worth $138.7 million on Tuesday. Surprisingly, even Grayscale’s GBTC saw an inflow of €28.2 million.
Most market watchers saw the notable inflows as another wave that could drive BTC prices higher.
One of the market watchers, HODL15 Capitalan entrepreneur and analyst, stated that the $74,000 target was achievable given the “lack of sell walls” on the order books on the major exchanges.
‘There are no significant sales walls. It wouldn’t take much buying demand to reach $74,000.”
