Spot Bitcoin ETFs draw fresh inflows
US spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds pulled in more than $1 billion of net inflows over three trading sessions this week, reversing a multi-week run of withdrawals as some investors added exposure during Bitcoin roughly 50% drawdown from its record high.
Data cited in the report shows the 11 US-listed spot Bitcoin ETFs attracted a combined $1.02 billion in net inflows from Tuesday through Thursday, with Wednesday accounting for $506.51 million, the largest single-day intake in that three-session stretch.
The inflow streak followed five consecutive weeks of net outflows, including a sharp wave of redemptions in the last two weeks of January that totaled $2.82 billion, according to the same dataset. The shift has been watched closely because ETF flows have become one of the market’s most visible real-time indicators of institutional and adviser demand for Bitcoin exposure.
The rebound was led by BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT), which logged $275.82 million in net inflows on Thursday alone. Other large products were mixed on the day—Fidelity’s FBTC and Ark 21Shares’ ARKB posted outflows—but gains in funds such as Bitwise’s BITB and Grayscale’s BTC outweighed the redemptions and left the category net positive across the three-day window.
ETF analyst Nate Geraci described the flow reversal as “buying the dip,” arguing that the recent pullback has not triggered the kind of capitulation some observers expected from newer ETF holders. Geraci wrote that spot Bitcoin ETFs have seen roughly $6.5 billion in outflows since Bitcoin’s record high in early October—an amount he characterized as modest relative to the roughly $55 billion the category has absorbed since the products launched in January 2024.
The inflows also coincided with a broader improvement in crypto fund flows during the same period, according to the report. Spot Ether ETFs added about $173 million over the same three trading sessions, while Solana funds brought in roughly $35 million and XRP ETFs posted about $7 million of inflows.
Market participants have been debating whether the latest price decline is beginning to exhaust itself. The report cited analysts pointing to oversold technical conditions and argued that sustained ETF inflows could help stabilize price action, even if a rapid rebound is unlikely after a steep selloff.
