yahoo news | BlackRock Posts Massive Bitcoin ETF Inflows As Morgan Stanley Debuts MSBT With...

Inflows into U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs jumped sharply on Thursday, driven primarily by BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT), which pulled in **$269.3 million**—its strongest single‑day gain in five weeks. The sector‑wide surge brought total net inflows to **$358.1 million**, reversing two consecutive days of outflows amid geopolitical‑related volatility. Fidelity’s Bitcoin ETF (FBTC) recorded the second‑largest inflow at **$53.3 million**, while smaller contributors included Bitwise, ARK‑Invest’s 21Shares fund, Franklin Templeton and VanEck, each adding between **$2 million and $12 million**.

Earlier in the week, Morgan Stanley entered the spot‑bitcoin ETF market with its **Bitcoin Trust (MSBT)**, posting what the bank called its “best first day of trading for any of our ETFs.” The fund logged roughly **$34 million** in first‑day trading volume and **$30.6 million** in net inflows, and a second‑day boost of **$14.9 million**. MSBT carries a **14 basis‑point fee**, undercutting several rivals and intensifying competition among the twelve U.S. spot‑bitcoin products.

Even as the broader sector saw a **$94 million** net outflow that day—driven by redemptions from Fidelity’s FBTC, ARK/21Shares’ ARKB and Grayscale’s GBTC—BlackRock’s IBIT continued to attract capital, adding **$40.4 million**. Year‑to‑date, IBIT has amassed **$1.5 billion** in net inflows, while the entire U.S. spot‑bitcoin ETF universe holds roughly **$56.5 billion**, just shy of its 2025 breakeven level. Analysts view Morgan Stanley’s launch as a structural shift; its $6 trillion wealth‑management platform and extensive advisor network could reshape fee dynamics and distribution channels, making future MSBT inflows a key barometer for traditional banks’ ability to challenge the current ETF leaders.

Always one foot on the ground
And by protecting my heart truly
I got lost in the sounds
I hear in my mind all of these voices
I hear in my mind all of these words

yahoo news | Institutional Retreat: BlackRock and Fidelity Lead Surge in Bitcoin ETF Outflows...

Institutional enthusiasm for Bitcoin is encountering a significant hurdle as the two largest spot Bitcoin ETFs—BlackRock’s IBIT and Fidelity’s FBTC—experienced large outflows. On March 26, 2026 the spot Bitcoin ETF market recorded a net outflow of USD 171 million, with BlackRock’s IBIT alone accounting for USD 41.9 million of that total, marking an uncommon period of decline for a fund that has historically seen steady inflows since its launch.

The outflows appear to be driven by macro‑economic uncertainty and investors’ desire to lock in gains after recent Bitcoin volatility, signalling a broader “risk‑off” mood among institutional players. Bitcoin’s price slipped 2.5 % to around USD 68,000 as buying pressure from these massive exchange‑traded products waned, underscoring the direct link between ETF flows and price movement.

Historically, sizable outflows often precede periods of consolidation. For instance, on March 18, 2026 the market saw USD 163.5 million leave, primarily due to a USD 104 million pull‑back from Fidelity’s FBTC, which pushed Bitcoin below USD 71,000. With the cryptocurrency now stabilizing near USD 68,000, analysts are monitoring whether the current outflows represent a temporary portfolio rebalancing or the onset of a more prolonged institutional withdrawal in response to shifting global economic conditions.

The 2nd #Fidelity rep I spoke with also failed to deliver.
I had a 3rd convo with them. 2 days later I got email with the info I needed.
Ironically, the info they sent was a screen capture from their website.
It turns out I could have gotten what I needed from their shitty website all along. On the page I had found on the site, the info was wrong, but there was a different page where it was correct.
Any of the 3 reps I spoke with could have told me that. None of them did.
