  1. BlackRock's iShares Bitcoin Trust took $136.0 million of the $137.3 million, and the Bitwise Bitcoin ETF added $1.3 million, while every other fund in Farside's table reported no flow.
  2. The day's flows were concentrated: $136.0 million of the $137.3 million went to IBIT, so the category's reported demand, on this data, is for one issuer's product rather than a broad rotation.
  3. The prior inflow, $176.0 million on Oct. 27, went almost entirely to IBIT ($151.5 million) and Fidelity's FBTC ($24.5 million), as Private Wealth Daily previously reported.
