On Tuesday, Bitcoin ETFs managed to record $31.6 million of net flows, according to the latest data provided by London-based investment management firm Farside Investors. 

BlackRock's IBIT managed to extend its streak of inflows, recording 71 days in the green. Interestingly enough, the ETF managed to attract the same amount of assets under management as the Gold ETF (GLD) did in 808 days.   

Earlier this month, IBIT joined an exclusive club of ETFs with 70 days of interrupted growth. This club includes such names as the JPMorgan Equity Premium Income ETF.  

It is worth noting that BlackRock also broke the record as the fastest ETF to reach $10 billion in assets under management, outpacing the gold ETF by a large margin back in March.      

Ark's ARB and Bitwise's BITB also saw decent inflows ($33.3 and $23.3, respectively).
