US spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) attracted $526.7 million on Oct. 19, reversing the previous week's withdrawals as BlackRock led renewed demand. The inflow, the largest in nearly two weeks, more than doubled the $228.4 million investors withdrew during the five trading sessions ending Oct. 16, according to SoSoValue data. BlackRock's iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) drove the recovery, attracting $665.2 million in its strongest session since Oct. 7, 2025. The purchases offset $83.6 million in withdrawals from Fidelity's FBTC and another $54.9 million from Grayscale's GBTC, while nine other funds reported no net flows. The rebound coincided with Bitcoin recovering toward $82,800 on Monday after briefly falling below $80,000 last week.
