Fidelity Leads Bitcoin ETF Inflows with $183M Surge Amid Rising Institutional Demand

Spot Bitcoin ETFs have returned to positive inflow territory, recording a substantial $407.78 million in net inflows on July 2. Leading this momentum was the Fidelity Wise Origin Bitcoin Fund (FBTC), which brought in over $183 million in a single day, according to Arkham data. This marks the largest daily inflow for Fidelity’s fund in recent months and signals renewed institutional interest in Bitcoin.

The rebound comes just days after a sharp $342 million outflow on June 30 disrupted the ETF’s steady growth streak. Notably, BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) — typically a frontrunner — reported zero inflows during the same period, allowing Fidelity to take the spotlight.

Fidelity’s aggressive accumulation has boosted its Bitcoin holdings to approximately $20.76 billion, accounting for about 1.02% of the total Bitcoin supply. This cements FBTC’s position as the second-largest Bitcoin-holding ETF, trailing only BlackRock, which holds 3.52% of the supply.

The surge in institutional buying comes as Bitcoin trades above the $100,000 mark, showing resilience despite global macroeconomic pressures. As of press time, Bitcoin is holding steady at $109,935, up 0.45% over the last 24 hours, according to CoinMarketCap.

The recent inflow spike not only elevates Fidelity’s market presence but also underscores growing confidence in Bitcoin as a long-term asset among institutional investors. With ETF inflows accelerating and Bitcoin prices holding strong, market sentiment continues to lean bullish, pointing to sustained momentum ahead.
