2024-12-02

United States investors poured over $6.4 billion into spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) in November as the BTC market price rallied 45% above the $99,000 level for the first time in history.
A month-long bull run in November resulted in Bitcoin BTCUSD prices shooting up from roughly $68,000 to $99,000. Amid bullish sentiments, spot BTC ETFs raked in a combined $6.87 billion, with outflows of $411 million during the month. 
According to data from Farside Investors, BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust ETF (IBIT) brought in $5.6 billion of investments in November, accounting for almost 87% of the total monthly inflows.

Other prominent players that attracted significant investments include Fidelity’s Wise Origin Bitcoin Fund (FBTC) at $962 million, Grayscale’s Bitcoin Mini Trust ETF (BTC) at $211.5 million and the VanEck Bitcoin ETF (HODL) at $71.2 million.
Continued inflow of funds from institutions and private investors amid high BTC market prices is expected to support the ongoing bull run. Traders and analysts have predicted “insane long opportunities” for Bitcoin in the coming months, suggesting BTC has entered a price discovery phase. 
On the other hand, three players contributed to the $411 million in monthly outflows. The Grayscale Bitcoin Trust ETF (GBTC), Bitwise Bitcoin ETF (BITB) and Valkyrie Bitcoin Fund (BRRR) recorded outflows of $364 million, $40.4 million and $6.8 million, respectively.
The Crypto Fear & Greed Index, an analysis of investor sentiment maintained by Alternative.me, also projected a strong bullish sentiment in November.
