U.S. spot bitcoin exchange-traded funds recorded net inflows of $355 million last week, ending a seven-day streak of withdrawals as investor demand recovered after year-end selling, according to data from SoSoValue.
The inflows were spread across six funds, with BlackRock’s IBIT leading the group with the largest net inflows, the data showed. Offers from Ark and 21Shares followed, while Fidelity’s product also attracted inflows. Products from Grayscale, Bitwise and VanEck also posted gains.
The turnaround followed a period of pressure attributed to tax loss harvesting and risk reduction towards the end of the year, market observers said. Analysts said the renewed buying indicated continued institutional interest despite deteriorating trading conditions over the festive period.
Ethereum-linked products also showed improvement during the period. Spot ether ETFs ended a four-day period of outflows and reported combined net inflows, according to the data.
Newly launched spot ETFs linked to XRP, Solana and Dogecoin each reported positive flows for the session, indicating broader participation in cryptocurrency-linked funds.
Market participants expect the ETF segment to continue growing in 2026 as issuers seek approval for new products and regulators consider clearer rules for digital assets. Asset managers have submitted applications for a wider range of tokens and structures, including funds that gain exposure both directly and indirectly.
Despite the mixed price performance of digital assets in 2025, significant cumulative inflows into cryptocurrency ETFs have been recorded, reflecting growing adoption among institutions, according to industry observers. Future flows will likely depend on regulatory developments, product access and general market conditions, analysts said.
The return to net inflows marked a shift in sentiment at the start of the year, after weeks of caution in the cryptocurrency markets.
