Day seven sees $2.1 billion in trading volume and $76 million in net outflows

Jan. 22, the seventh day of U.S. spot bitcoin ETF trading witnessed a total trading volume of $2.1 billion — dominated by $1.1 billion in volume for GBTC, according to The Block’s data dashboard .

The new spot bitcoin ETF products registered $564.5 million worth of inflows on Monday, according to Bloomberg ETF analyst James Seyffart. BlackRock’s IBIT led with its third-largest inflow day, bringing in $272 million. Fidelity’s FBTC was again in second with $159 million, and the rest of the ETFs with inflows came in under $100 million.

However, this wasn’t enough to overcome the largest daily outflow for Grayscle’s converted GBTC fund so far — some $640.5 million — causing a net outflow of $76 million yesterday as bitcoin’s price fell below $40,000 for the first time in seven weeks. Bitcoin is currently trading at $39,227, according to The Block’s price page .
