Institutional interest in U.S.-traded spot Bitcoin ETFs has regained momentum, with strong inflows continuing for three consecutive days. The high-volume net fund flows recorded on Wednesday revealed that investors redirected their portfolios to risky assets after cautious positioning at the end of the year. The total capital directed to ETFs in the last three-day period exceeded 1.7 billion dollars, standing out as one of the most remarkable movements in recent months. Market data indicates that increased regulatory clarity and institutional demand expectations are fueling appetite for cryptocurrencies.
Three Days of Strong Capital Inflows in Bitcoin ETFs
On Wednesday, US spot Bitcoin ETFs attracted a total of $843.6 million in net inflows, the highest daily level since October 7. The data showed that the momentum was strengthened, with the three-month peak of $754 million reached the previous day being exceeded. Total capital directed to ETFs in the last three days increased to $1.71 billion, significantly affecting the perception of the short-term direction of the market.
Eight of twelve spot Bitcoin ETFs reported positive net capital flows, according to SoSoValue data. While BlackRock’s IBIT product, which is the largest ETF, led with an inflow of $648 million, $125.4 million went to Fidelity’s FBTC ETF. While Ark & 21Shares’ ARKB ETF contributed $27 million, positive movements were also observed in Grayscale, Bitwise, VanEck, Valkyrie and Franklin Templeton’s ETFs.
LVRG Research Director Nick Rick emphasized that institutional investors are leaving the year-end risk reduction process behind and reallocating capital to cryptocurrency-based investment products. According to Rick, increasing ETF demand stands out as a concrete indicator of renewed confidence on the institutional side.
Positive Trend in Ethereum, Solana and XRP ETFs
Spot Ethereum ETFs also capped their third consecutive positive day on Wednesday, drawing $175 million in net inflows. This non-Bitcoin ETF activity revealed that the market is not just focused on a single asset and institutional interest is spread across a broader range of cryptocurrencies.
Solana and XRP-based ETF products also saw limited but notable inflows. There was $23.5 million capital directed to Spot Solana ETFs and $10.6 million to XRP ETFs. Kronos Research CIO Vincent Liu stated that stable inflows into cryptocurrency ETFs provide structural support on prices, and the clarity provided in the regulatory framework strengthens this trend.
Along with capital flows, an upward trend was observed on the price side. While the price of Bitcoin is trading at $96,447, gaining 1.79 percent in the last 24 hours, Ethereum is moving around $3,313. Institutional demand through ETFs points to a reshaping of medium-term expectations in the cryptocurrency market.
