Along with IBIT, additional top ten Bitcoin holdings include FBTC (Fidelity), BTC (Grayscale), and GBTC (Greyscale).

Spot Bitcoin ETF movements have been very unpredictable, with large outflows seen in the last week alone.
Monday, August 13, saw more than $27 million poured into US Bitcoin exchange-traded funds, setting the tone for a positive week. With $35.4 million, ARKB from Ark Invest was the most heavily inflowed, followed by IBIT from BlackRock with $13.4 million. The outflow of BITB from Bitwise was $17.1 million, while the outflow of GBTC from Grayscale was $11.8 million.

Before deciding to move on with rate decreases in September, the Federal Reserve will need the CPI statistics for the month of July. There is a current market split on whether September will see a 25 bps or 50 bps rate drop.
