US-listed spot Bitcoin ETFs attracted significant new capital on February 2, recording $561.8 million in net inflows, the largest single-day total since mid-January. The inflows came as Bitcoin prices dipped below $80,000 following weekend volatility that raised concerns about broader market stress.
BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust and Fidelity’s FBTC led the buying, highlighting continued institutional participation despite weakened price momentum. The inflows marked a reversal from nearly ten consecutive days of net outflows as Bitcoin fell sharply from late-2025 highs.
While spot Bitcoin remains roughly 40% below its October peak, US ETFs collectively hold about 1.3 million BTC, only modestly below prior highs. However, the average ETF cost basis stands near $84,000, above current prices. The divergence suggests investors are testing conviction levels as market conditions remain fragile.
