On January 2, BlackRock's iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) experienced its highest single-day outflow, with $242.3 million being withdrawn from the fund. This marks the third consecutive day of outflows for the BTC ETF, totaling $392.6 million. Despite this, the IBIT ranked third in inflows among all U.S. ETFs in 2024, with $37.2 billion. Bitwise's BITB, Fidelity's FBTC, and Ark 21Shares's ARKB saw inflows on that day. Grayscale's Bitcoin Mini Trust and VanEck's HODL also had modest inflows. The total daily trading volume for these investment products was $3.24 billion. Nine spot Ether ETFs also experienced outflows, with $77.51 million leaving the funds. Nate Geraci, president of ETF Store, predicted the introduction of combined spot BTC and ETH ETFs, options trading for spot ETH ETFs, in-kind creation and redemption mechanisms for both BTC and ETH spot ETFs, staking features for spot Ether funds, and the approval of a spot Solana (SOL) ETF by 2025.
