U.S. Spot Bitcoin ETFs Snap 7-day Losing Streak With $355M Inflows

ETF inflows into BTC, ETH, XRP, Solana and Dogecoin rebound after year-end tax selling, signaling renewed institutional demand for crypto funds.

U.S. spot bitcoin exchange-traded funds recorded $355 million in net inflows last week, ending a seven-day streak of withdrawals as investor demand rebounded following year-end selling, according to data from SoSoValue.

The inflows were distributed across six funds, with BlackRock’s IBIT leading the group with the largest net inflows, the data showed. Offerings from Ark and 21Shares followed, while Fidelity’s product also attracted inflows. Products from Grayscale, Bitwise and VanEck posted gains as well.

The reversal followed a period of pressure attributed to tax-loss harvesting and risk reduction near the end of the year, according to market observers. Analysts stated the renewed buying indicated continued institutional interest despite thinner holiday trading conditions.

Ethereum-linked products also showed improvement during the period. Spot ether ETFs ended a four-day stretch of outflows, reporting combined net inflows, according to the data.

Newly launched spot ETFs tied to XRP, Solana and Dogecoin each reported positive flows for the session, signaling broader participation across cryptocurrency-linked funds.

Market participants anticipate the ETF segment will continue expanding in 2026 as issuers seek approval for new products and regulators consider clearer rules for digital assets. Asset managers have filed applications covering a wider range of tokens and structures, including funds that gain exposure both directly and indirectly.

Despite mixed price performance across digital assets in 2025, substantial cumulative inflows into cryptocurrency ETFs have been recorded, reflecting growing acceptance among institutions, according to industry observers. Future flows will likely depend on regulatory developments, product access and overall market conditions, analysts said.

The return to net inflows marked a shift in sentiment as the year opens, following weeks of caution across cryptocurrency markets.
