BlackRock's IBIT accounted for roughly 90% of a $225 million Bitcoin ETF rebound that snapped a seven-day buying streak, according to data cited by The Block. The reversal wiped out 22.5% of the preceding $999.3 million inflow streak, while Bitcoin ended the session below $65,000.
Why it matters
The headline number looks like a recovery, but the composition tells a harder story. When one issuer carries 90% of the inflows on the rebound day, the rest of the field is net negative or flat. That concentration means the bid is thinner than the aggregate ETF flow data implies, and any single-day rotation out of IBIT could swing the entire category red.
Market impact
Bitcoin's failure to hold $65,000 alongside a 22.5% giveback of the prior streak reinforces that demand is narrow rather than broad-based. The ETFs print green on the day, but the underlying asset is not participating, which historically has been a fragile setup for continuation.
