The three spot bitcoin exchange-traded funds in Hong Kong saw inflows of 174.73 BTC ($10.3 million) on the second trading day yesterday, compared to an inflow of 3,910 BTC ($240 million) on the first trading day. The trading volume stood at over $9.7 million on both days, according to SoSoValue data.
