U.S. spot bitcoin exchange-traded funds attracted a fresh wave of investor capital this week, extending a strong inflow streak to three consecutive days and signaling renewed confidence among large investors.
Data from SoSoValue shows that spot bitcoin ETFs recorded $843.6 million in net inflows on Wednesday alone, the highest single-day total since October 7. The figure surpassed Tuesday’s $754 million, which had already marked a three-month high. Taken together, bitcoin ETFs have pulled in approximately $1.71 billion over the past three trading days.
The inflows were broad-based. Eight of the 12 listed spot bitcoin ETFs reported net gains on Wednesday. BlackRock’s IBIT, the largest fund by assets, led the pack with $648 million in new capital. Fidelity’s FBTC followed with $125.4 million, while Ark & 21Shares’ ARKB added $27 million. Funds from Grayscale, Bitwise, VanEck, Valkyrie, and Franklin Templeton also posted positive flows.
Market analysts say the trend reflects a shift in investor behavior as the new year begins. Nick Rick, director of LVRG Research, described the inflows as a sign of “resurgent institutional demand,” noting that many investors appear to be reallocating capital after a cautious and risk-averse period late last year.
Interest was not limited to bitcoin. Spot Ethereum ETFs reported $175 million in net inflows on Wednesday, also marking their third straight day of gains. Smaller but notable inflows were recorded in spot Solana and XRP ETFs, which added $23.5 million and $10.6 million, respectively.
Vincent Liu, chief investment officer at Kronos Research, said sustained inflows into crypto ETFs could act as a “structural tailwind” for digital asset prices. He added that improving regulatory clarity is helping support investor confidence across the sector.
Bitcoin rose 1.79% over the past 24 hours to trade around $96,447, while ether held steady near $3,313, according to market data.
