BlackRock’s IBIT Accumulates 2134 BTC
Yesterday, the BlackRock Bitcoin ETF IBIT attracted $121 million in inflows, accumulating a total of 2134 BTC. On July 8, inflows into the BlackRock IBIT were even higher at $187 million, with the fund acquiring over 3,300 Bitcoins, coinciding with a BTC price drop to $53,500 earlier on Monday.
Bitcoin ETFs are absorbing much of the selling pressure from the German government’s recent sales. Inflows into BTC ETFs have reached a three-week peak amidst the BTC price decline.

Bitcoin ETFs and Bitcoin’s Price Action
Since July 4, Bitcoin has struggled to surpass $60,000. According to CoinMarketCap, it is currently trading at $58,721, reflecting a nearly 15.41% decline over the past month.

Some analysts are optimistic that the ETFs could boost Bitcoin’s price, similar to the months leading up to March when Bitcoin reached a new all-time high. Sina G, co-founder and COO of Bitcoin custody consultancy firm 21st Capital, said on X, said that the rise from $16K to $73K was largely fueled by ETFs, following a “buy-the-rumor, buy-the-news” phenomenon.
He wrote:
“Up to mid-March ETF flows were very strong and the market moved up. Since then, ETFs slowed down and bankruptcy outflows took over, causing a weak price action all the way down to $56K.”
ETF Inflows Vs. Germany’s Bitcoin Selling Spree
Despite significant ETF inflows, they haven’t outpaced Germany’s recent Bitcoin selling spree. Germany’s federal criminal police, the Bundeskriminalamt (BKA), confiscated nearly 50,000 Bitcoin in mid-January during an investigation into a movie pirating website.
Since July 5, the BKA has sold over $850 million worth of BTC. Currently, their wallet contains 23,960 Bitcoin valued at $1.4 billion, less than half of the total seized from the Movie2k piracy site originally. These big transactions impact the overall market dynamics.
