US Bitcoin ETFs Gain saw heavy inflows on Monday, May 13, following last week’s substantial withdrawals. A total of $66 million was received yesterday by eleven different US-based Bitcoin exchange-traded funds. On Monday, there were zero net flows for BlackRcok’s IBIT and Grayscale’s GBTC. Of all the Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs), $38.6 million went into the Fidelity Bitcoin ETF (FBTC).
However, with $20.3 million in inflows, the Bitwise Bitcoin ETF BITB came second. Eleven Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) saw a net outflow of $297 million during the last 30 trading days, with outflows recorded on 17. The US Bitcoin ETFs Gain markets have been shaky recently, with investors becoming wary ahead of this week’s inflation data.
Last week, however, Bitcoin investment products saw inflows of $144 million, ending a four-week losing streak. It demonstrates that Bitcoin is once again attracting the attention of institutions. Meanwhile, the six spot US Bitcoin ETFs Gain and Ether exchange-traded funds (ETFs) in Hong Kong may have had their most significant net outflows since they began trading in April due to the unpredictable market changes.
Bitcoin Price Action Ahead
The report that cryptocurrency exchange Coinbase was experiencing major downtime for four hours earlier today caused the price of Bitcoin to fall below $61,500. At the time of writing, Bitcoin’s market capitalization was $1.214 trillion, and the price was $61,668, a decrease of 1.58%. Over the last several weeks, the price of Bitcoin has been fluctuating between $61,000 and $64,000.
If Bitcoin’s price falls below $60,000, a decline up to $52,000 is possible. On the other hand, fresh all-time highs above $70,000 are possible if bulls can push Bitcoin above $64,000. The importance of macroeconomic catalysts has grown in recent times because spot Bitcoin ETF purchases have slowed down significantly and even gone negative on certain days. Reports on inflation in the United States will likely be the following possible triggers, whether good or bad.
On Tuesday at 8:30 a.m. ET, the Producer Price Index (PPI) will be released, and the Consumer Price Index (CPI) will be released one day later. The CPI is the most important of the two reports. Consistent with March’s gain, economists expect the CPI to have increased by 0.4% in April. Forecasts indicate that the annual rate of headline CPI will slow down to 3.4% from 3.5% in March. Meanwhile, experts predict a 0.3% increase for the core CPI in April, down from 0.4% in March, and a moderation in the annual rate to 3.6% from 3.8%. This measure does not include food and energy prices.
Fidelity’s FBTC Leads Bitcoin Inflow Surge

The net inflow of $66 million on May 13 represents a positive change following two days of negative flows, which is worth highlighting. Seven of ten US Bitcoin ETFs, including those from Grayscale and BlackRock, recorded zero flows. No ETF, however, saw outflows. The 10 Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) lost $297 million in the past 30 trading days, with outflows happening on 17 days.

At the time of writing, the total trading volume in the cryptocurrency market increased by 50% to $71.79 billion, and the market value increased by 0.37% to $2.27 trillion.
