On January 15, it was reported that the US spot Bitcoin ETF recorded net inflows for the third consecutive trading day, indicating that institutional funds are once again increasing their allocation to crypto assets. Data shows that on Wednesday, the single-day net inflow of the spot Bitcoin ETF was approximately $844 million, the highest level since early October 2025, also breaking the previous stage record set earlier this week. Over the past three trading days, the total net inflow of Bitcoin ETFs has reached about $1.71 billion, with the pace of capital inflow significantly accelerating.

Regarding specific products, 8 out of the 12 spot Bitcoin ETFs experienced net capital inflows on that day. Among them, the largest, IBIT, attracted about $648 million in a single day, FBTC recorded inflows of approximately $125 million, and ARKB also saw an increase of about $27 million. Meanwhile, products from Grayscale, Bitwise, VanEck, Valkyrie, and Franklin Templeton also showed varying degrees of net capital inflows, indicating that buying interest is not concentrated in a single fund but rather exhibits a more dispersed allocation pattern.

Nick Rick, Research Director at LVRG Research, stated that the capital flow back into Bitcoin ETFs reflects a recovery in institutional demand. After experiencing a risk contraction and cautious stance at the end of last year, some funds are beginning to re-enter the digital asset market, with ETFs serving as an important tool for gaining Bitcoin exposure.

In addition to Bitcoin ETFs, other mainstream crypto asset ETFs are also attracting attention. The spot Ethereum ETF saw a net inflow of about $175 million on Wednesday, marking three consecutive days of positive capital flow; the spot Solana ETF and XRP ETF also attracted approximately $23.5 million and $10.6 million in new funds respectively, indicating a synchronized improvement in market risk appetite.

Vincent Liu, Chief Investment Officer at Kronos Research, pointed out that sustained ETF net inflows provide structural support for the crypto market in the medium to long term. As the regulatory environment gradually becomes clearer, institutional investors are more willing to participate through compliant products, which helps enhance overall liquidity and price stability.

In terms of price performance, Bitcoin has risen about 1.79% in the past 24 hours, trading near $96,447; Ethereum remains around $3,313. The market generally believes that if the ETF capital inflow trend continues, Bitcoin’s medium-term outlook still has room for imagination and will continue to be a core asset that investors, including Gate users, focus on.
