U.S. spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds recorded a sharp reversal on December 30, pulling in $355 million in net inflows and ending a seven-day stretch of persistent capital withdrawals. The move marked the strongest daily inflow since mid-December and came after nearly two weeks in which ETF investors steadily reduced exposure as prices softened and year-end liquidity thinned. Sosovalue data shows that the rebound was led by BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust, which attracted $143.75 million in fresh capital on the day. BTC Spot ETF Source: Sosovalue ARK Invest and 21Shares’ ARKB followed with $109.56 million, while Fidelity’s Wise Origin Bitcoin Fund added $78.59 million. Smaller but still positive contributions came from Bitwise, VanEck, and Grayscale’s legacy Bitcoin Trust. The turnaround followed a difficult run in which spot Bitcoin ETFs lost about $1.12 billion over seven trading days, including a heavy $275.9 million outflow on December 26, which stood out as the most aggressive selling session of the period. Bitcoin ETFs See December Losses, Even as Trading Activity Picks Up December as a whole remained challenging for spot Bitcoin ETFs despite its late rebound, it has posted a net monthly outflow of roughly $744 million, extending losses from November, when funds shed more than $3.4 billion. The pressure was most visible between December 18 and December 29, when ETFs recorded outflows on seven of eight trading days, briefly interrupted only by a single large inflow on December 17. Weekly data tells a similar story, with two deeply negative weeks preceding the modest recovery seen in the final week of the month. Source: Sosovalue Even with the volatility, cumulative net inflows across U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs still stand at $56.96 billion, underscoring the scale of institutional participation built up earlier in the year. Total net assets held by these products reached $114.44 billion as of December 30, representing about 6.52% of Bitcoin’s total market capitalization. Trading activity also picked up alongside the rebound, with total value traded across Bitcoin ETFs reaching $3.57 billion for the day. Flows remained heavily concentrated among the largest issuers. BlackRock’s IBIT continues to dominate the market, with cumulative net inflows of $62.19 billion and nearly $68 billion in assets under management, equivalent to roughly 3.9% of Bitcoin’s circulating supply. Fidelity and ARK 21Shares followed at a distance, while Grayscale’s GBTC continued to show no fresh inflows and remains deeply negative on a cumulative basis due to long-running redemptions after its conversion from a trust structure. Bitcoin Consolidates Below $90K While Ethereum ETFs Stay Steady The shift in ETF flows came as Bitcoin prices stabilized after a volatile intraday cycle. Bitcoin was trading near $88,800 at the time of the latest data, up modestly over 24 hours but still well below its all-time high. Price action over recent sessions showed a sharp move toward the $90,000 level, followed by a rejection and pullback toward the mid-$86,000 range, where buyers stepped in and halted further declines. Since then, the market has moved sideways, with price oscillating between established support near $86,700 and resistance around $88,000, reflecting a pause as traders reassess direction. Ethereum spot ETFs showed steadier conditions by comparison as On December 30, ETH-linked ETFs recorded $67.84 million in net inflows, lifting cumulative inflows to $12.40 billion. Total net assets stood at just under $18 billion, representing about 5% of Ethereum’s market capitalization. BlackRock’s ETHA remains the largest product by assets, while Grayscale’s ETHE accounted for the bulk of the day’s inflows despite still carrying a negative cumulative balance tied to earlier redemptions.
