According to Farside UK data, Bitwise’s BITB ETF accounted for an influx of $11.5 million on Wednesday, May 8. On the contrary, Blackrock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) and Grayscale’s GBTC ETF didn’t registered “zero” flows.

Despite the modest influx, the price of Bitcoin continued its downward trajectory, reflecting prevailing market pressures. Moreover, the Bitcoin price plunged below the $62,000 mark today. Furthermore, significant selloff has been noted by long-term BTC investors, accelerating the price decline.
