Bitcoin Exchange-Traded Funds See Spike In Inflows Following Huge Hack\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

American Bitcoin exchange-traded funds have had their biggest weekly inflow since April, taking in $850 million last week, according to Bloomberg figures.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The major U.S. funds managed by BlackRock, Fidelity, Grayscale, Morgan Stanley and others have received the cash the week after hackers targeted Coinkite\u2019s popular Coldcard product.<\/p>\n

Hackers started<\/a> stealing millions in Bitcoin from Coldcard wallets after discovering a vulnerability in the product\u2019s software. Some estimates put the amount of Bitcoin lost now at over $130 million.\u00a0<\/p>\n

JUST IN: BlackRock tells Bloomberg they’ve “seen consistently” that Bitcoin ETF investors are buying and holding BTC “long term” on this dip <\/p>\n

The incident has rattled the BTC community that typically praises cold storage solutions.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Speaking on Bloomberg\u2019s ETF IQ show on Monday, Robert Mitchnick, global head of digital assets at BlackRock, said that since the ETFs\u2019 approval in 2024, investors have wanted a \u201cvery simple turnkey trusted vehicle and not have to worry about all the unique elements of Bitcoin and crypto security that generally custody otherwise would require of an investor.\u201d<\/p>\n

Speaking about the Coldcard hack, he added: \u201cWhat\u2019s also important to recognize is that that is not a breach of Bitcoin or any other crypto protocol \u2014 those are individual security mismanagement issues that happen from various individuals or providers.\u201d<\/p>\n

It isn\u2019t clear whether investors are rotating out of cold storage into the ETFs since the hack but the funds have seen a spike in trading action.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Bitcoin\u2019s price has typically done well when investors have thrown cash at the products but the leading cryptocurrency is now flat over a seven-day period, priced at $63,861.\u00a0<\/p>\n

BlackRock\u2019s iShares Bitcoin Trust took most of last week\u2019s inflows but other funds managed by Morgan Stanley and Fidelity also experienced trading action.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission in 2024 approved the slew of Bitcoin investment funds which went on to have the most successful launch in the history of ETFs.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Investors previously put off from buying Bitcoin due to the complexities of cold storage and private keys can now buy shares that trade on stock exchanges that track the price of Bitcoin.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The ETFs \u2014 managed by other top Wall Street fund managers \u2014 currently manage nearly $80 billion in assets, according<\/a> to Coinglass data.\u00a0<\/p>\n
