Key Notes
- Spot Bitcoin ETFs saw $355 million in net inflows, ending a seven-day withdrawal streak.
- BlackRock, Ark 21Shares and Fidelity dominated capital flows as investor activity accelerated.
- Improving liquidity signals have supported a surge in interest in crypto ETF products.
Spot Bitcoin ETFs returned to net inflows after a long week of losses. These funds returned $355 million as market activity resumed and liquidity conditions showed the first signs of improvement.
The influx ended 7 straight trading days of withdrawals and slowed a trend that had weighed on sentiment for most of December.
Spot Bitcoin ETFs Break Seven-Day Outing Streak
US-listed spot Bitcoin ETFs have now reversed a seven-day outflow period that saw $1.12 billion leave funds, according to data from Farside Investors.
The rally follows a period of weak prices and low trading volumes, which pushed many investors to the sidelines.
BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust led the rebound with $143.75 million in inflows. The Ark 21Shares Bitcoin ETF followed with $109.56 million, while Fidelity’s Wise Origin Bitcoin fund added $78.59 million.
Bitwise recorded $13.87 million, while smaller additions came from Grayscale’s Bitcoin Trust and VanEck’s Bitcoin ETF.
The recovery came after strong sales late last week. December 26 marked the largest day of withdrawals, with nearly $276 million flowing out of products.
December remained challenging overall, with total outflows for the month reaching $744 million as traders reduced their exposure during the year-end slowdown.
Even though prices have not yet risen sharply, the return of capital flows suggests that some investors are slowly rebuilding their positions rather than exiting the market entirely.
A similar trend is seen in corporate purchases, with Metaplanet adding $451 million worth of Bitcoin.

Liquidity Outlook Boosts Crypto Fund Sentiment
Market observers have linked the changing flow of Spot Bitcoin ETFs to changes in global liquidity. In a recent article, Arthur Hayes said that dollar liquidity likely reached its lowest point in November and has improved since then.

He added that increased liquidity often supports risky assets, including digital assets.
Other market observers have pointed to increased money supply measures in major economies as a sign of easing financial conditions.
Attention has also turned to upcoming purchases of US Treasuries, with the Federal Reserve set to inject more than $8 billion into markets, adding further support.
Nonetheless, the improved tone has extended beyond Bitcoin products. Spot Ethereum ETFs also ended a four-day outing streak.
These products recorded $67.8 million in net inflows after losing more than $196 million at the start of the week. The largest Ether ETF sale took place on December 23.
Meanwhile, spot XRP ETFs continued to attract steady demand, extending their entry streak to 30 days with another $15 million added.
