Bitcoin’s price surge to nearly $90,000 in early November drove a massive flow of funds into U.S. spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs).
On Nov. 6, Bitcoin started a bull run, skyrocketing from $69,000 to nearly $90,000 within a week. The surge, fueled by positive market sentiment and fear of missing out (FOMO), led retail and institutional investors alike to increase their Bitcoin exposure.
As a result, investments into spot Bitcoin ETFs in the U.S. for the week of Nov. 6–11 reached $2.6 billion, according to Farside Investors.
Of the 11 U.S. spot BTC ETFs, BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust attracted the highest investments, bringing in over $2 billion during this period.
Other significant ETFs contributing to the inflows included Fidelity’s Wise Origin Bitcoin Fund, the Bitwise Bitcoin ETF, and the ARK 21Shares Bitcoin ETF, which recorded inflows of $668.3 million, $180 million, and $253.2 million, respectively.
Grayscale, which previously saw substantial outflows from the ETF ecosystem, recorded a rare positive streak during the bull run.
Data from Farside Investors revealed that Grayscale’s Bitcoin ETFs — GBTC and BTC — accumulated $219.8 million in net positive inflows since Nov. 6.

The optimism extended to spot Ether ETFs as well. On Nov. 11, U.S. spot Ether ETFs reported their highest-ever daily inflows since their July launch, with $294.9 million coming in — surpassing the previous record of $106.6 million on launch day.
“After being a laggard for most of this cycle, Ethereum is starting to catch a bid,” noted BTC Markets crypto analyst Rachael Lucas in a report to Cointelegraph.
