Bitcoin ETFs Snap 10-Day Outflow Streak With $222M Surge

US spot Bitcoin ETFs broke a punishing 10-day outflow streak on July 2, attracting $221.7 million in net inflows in a single session and signaling a potential turning point for institutional appetite in the crypto market.

Fidelity's FBTC drove the recovery almost single-handedly, pulling in $166 million — roughly three-quarters of the day's total inflows — and cementing Fidelity's position as a serious competitor in the Bitcoin ETF space.
