Eric Balchunas on X:

"$IBIT iShares Bitcoin ETF traded $3.3b today, biggest number in 6 months, which is a bit odd because $BTC was up 4% (typically ETF volume spikes in a downturn/crisis). Occasionally though volume can spike if there a FOMO-ing frenzy (a la $ARKK in 2020)". Given the surge in price past few days, his guess is this is latter, which means that inflows could be even bigger this week. Source: Eric Balchunas on X, Bloomberg
