Since its January debut, BTCW has struggled to compete with other Bitcoin ETFs, with net capital never surpassing $20 million until Thursday’s surge. The fund’s total inflows now stand at $201 million, though this remains relatively small compared to its competitors.In addition to IBIT and BTCW, Bitcoin ETFs launched by Fidelity, ARK Invest/21Shares, and VanEck also reported inflows. Other ETFs, excluding Invesco’s BTCO, saw zero flows.Strong inflows into IBIT and BTCW efficiently offset the massive capital drained from the Grayscale Bitcoin ETF (GBTC). On Thursday, investors withdrew approximately $183 million from the fund, the largest since early April.

Overall, US spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) collectively attracted around $194 million in new investments on Thursday, extending their inflow streak after bleeding over $300 million earlier this week.
