On Aug. 15, Bitcoin spot exchange-traded funds (ETFs) recorded a net inflow of $11.11 million, indicating continued investor interest despite outflows from Grayscale Bitcoin Trust (GBTC).
<a href="https://sosovalue.com/assets/etf/us-btc-spot" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" target="_blank">According</a> to Sosovalue data, while the overall spot Bitcoin ETF market experienced positive inflows, GBTC witnessed a significant $25.03 million outflows during the same period.
This downturn for GBTC aligns with the New York Stock Exchange’s (NYSE) Arca electronic exchange, which <a href="https://cointelegraph.com/news/nyse-arca-withdraws-request-list-options-commodity-trusts-crypto-etfs" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" target="null">withdrew a rule change proposed</a> that would have allowed trading of GBTC and other crypto ETFs.

According to Sosovalue data, the combined net inflow of Bitcoin (<a href="https://cointelegraph.com/bitcoin-price" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" target="_self">BTC</a>) spot ETFs has reached $17.33 billion, contributing to a total net asset value of $51.99 billion.&nbsp;
The $52 billion milestone represents approximately 4.65% of the total BTC market capitalization and reveals the growing interest in the digital asset.
The rise in net assets also signals an increasing demand from institutional and retail investors who view spot Bitcoin ETFs as a viable and regulated option for digital asset exposure.

Although the $11.11 million daily total net inflow on Aug. 15 indicates a positive shift in investor sentiment, the last seven days paint a different picture.
According to Sosovalue data, spot Bitcoin ETF outflows totaled $81.36 million on Aug. 14, starkly different from the influx of funds just one day later.
The data suggests that investors could be taking profits and reallocating aspects of their portfolios following BTC price dips and hikes as they appear during crypto market volatility.
