This impressive record makes it the third-highest single-day figure seen since Bitcoin ETFs debuted in January. Fidelityâs FBTC came next with $133 million, followed by Bitwise, Grayscaleâs Mini Trust, VanEck, and Ark Invest. This shows investorsâ strong interest in various funds. While most ETFs saw a wave of new funds, Grayscaleâs Bitcoin Trust (GBTC) was the exception, posting $17 million in outflows.Â
Despite this, total ETF trading volumes reached an impressive $4.75 billion on Tuesday. BlackRockâs IBIT alone accounted for $3.3 billion of this activity, the highest volume since March. These figures signal robust engagement from traders positioning themselves ahead of possible market swings around the U.S. elections.
Bitcoin Inches Closer to Lifetime Highs
Bitcoinâs price also made significant gains, rising 3% on Tuesday and adding to a weeklong rally of 7.7%. Market sentiment around the digital asset remains optimistic. Some analysts predicted that Bitcoin could reach $80,000 in November, regardless of the election outcome.Â

At the time of writing, Bitcoin is trading at $72,187.39, up by 1.03% in the last 24 hours, according to CoinMarketCap data.Â
Analysts Weigh In: FOMO Impact Uncovered
Bloomberg ETF analyst Eric Balchunas pointed out the unusual nature of Tuesdayâs volume spike.Â
He attributed it to a wave of FOMO among investors. Balchunas noted that ETF volume typically spikes during downturns, but this time, the volume surged with Bitcoinâs price rise. He compared this dynamic to the excitement around Arkâs ARKK ETF in 2020.Â
Balchunas suggested that the Bitcoin ETF market could see even more dramatic inflows as the week unfolds.
