US spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) recorded $355 million in net inflows on December 30, ending a seven-day period of sustained outflows. The rebound was led by BlackRock’s IBIT, Ark, and 21Shares’ ARKB, and Fidelity’s FBTC, with smaller contributions from funds managed by Grayscale, Bitwise, and VanEck.
Market participants attributed the shift to easing year-end pressures, including tax-loss harvesting and portfolio de-risking. Analysts noted that positive flows during a holiday period with reduced liquidity suggest continued institutional engagement rather than short-term retail activity.
The improvement in Bitcoin ETF flows coincided with renewed inflows across other crypto-linked products. Spot Ethereum ETFs returned to positive territory, while recently launched spot ETFs tied to XRP, Solana, and Dogecoin also reported net inflows. The broader pattern reflects gradual normalization in crypto ETF markets as issuers expand product offerings and institutional investors maintain measured exposure to digital assets.
