Farside Investors data showed that spot Bitcoin ETFs struggled in March, with net outflows surpassing their monthly net inflows. Asset manager BlackRock\u2019s iShares Bitcoin Trust ETF (IBIT) suffered the most, with outflows reaching $552 million and inflows of only $84.6 million. According to the data, Fidelity\u2019s Wise Origin Bitcoin Fund (FBTC) saw outflows of over $517 million and had inflows of only $136.5. The data also showed that Grayscale\u2019s Bitcoin Trust ETF (GBTC) had outflows of over $200 million and had zero inflows. However, Grayscale\u2019s Bitcoin Mini Trust ETF (BTC) is the only one that defied the trend, with zero net outflows for March and over $55 million in net inflows.
