The consistent flow of funds into spot Bitcoin ETFs has been evident, with the ninth consecutive day witnessing more inflows compared to outflows from GBTC.

Fred Krueger, an investor and author, reflected on the growing acceptance and adoption of Bitcoin ETFs among investors, saying:

ETFs are eating the world. They ate every other asset class, and they’re having Bitcoin for dessert.

In a related development, Fidelity reportedly integrated spot Bitcoin into its All-in-One Conservative ETF, further indicating the increasing mainstream acceptance of cryptocurrency ETFs. 

As of February 8, the combined BTC holdings of the newly launched nine ETFs were on the verge of surpassing those of MicroStrategy, a prominent corporate holder of Bitcoin. BlackRock's fund surged by $56 million, Fidelity recorded inflows of $130 million, and Bitwise received inflows of $21 million.

This surge in trading volume and investor interest underscores the growing mainstream acceptance and adoption of Bitcoin and cryptocurrency ETFs, signaling a new phase in the evolution of digital asset investment.

Another big day for the spot Bitcoin ETF happened in January with the SFC application in Hong Kong.
