Bitcoin ETF Inflows Hit $1.7B Weekly, Fueling Push Toward $100K Mark

TLDR

• Bitcoin ETFs saw a massive $1.7 billion in inflows during the past week, reversing earlier outflows.
• BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust set a new record, attracting $648.39 million in a single day.
• Total assets across all Bitcoin ETFs reached $128.04 billion, representing 6.56% of Bitcoin’s market cap.
• Fidelity’s FBTC and Ark 21Shares’ ARKB also saw strong inflows, contributing to the overall rise in ETF assets.
• Bitcoin’s price surged to $96,951, with the $100,000 mark remaining a key psychological target for investors.

Institutional capital flooded Bitcoin ETFs last week, erasing earlier outflows and pushing fund assets to new highs, according to SoSoValue. Bitcoin inflows totaled $1.71 billion during the week, reversing over $1.3 billion in redemptions seen earlier in January. With total ETF assets now reaching $128.04 billion, institutional accumulation appears to be gaining momentum.

BlackRock IBIT Sees Record Inflows and Soars Past $76 Billion

BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) posted its strongest daily inflow on January 14, taking in $648.39 million. That figure helped IBIT surpass $76 billion in net assets, the highest among its peers. As demand accelerated, IBIT’s cumulative intake helped offset recent industry-wide outflows.

The net inflow across all spot Bitcoin ETFs on January 14 stood at $843.62 million. That marked the second-largest single-day inflow since the ETFs launched. As a result, Bitcoin’s ETF-linked supply now makes up 6.56% of its total market capitalization.

Price action followed closely as Bitcoin touched $96,951 before retracing slightly during the same session. If this trend continues, ETF holdings could soon exceed 7% of Bitcoin’s circulating supply. Analysts said, “This may be the beginning of a larger shift in market structure.”

Fidelity and Ark 21Shares ETFs Also Post Strong Daily Gains

Fidelity’s FBTC added $125.39 million on January 14, continuing its steady accumulation trend from the prior week. Ark 21Shares’ ARKB secured $27 million in daily inflows, maintaining its role as a secondary contributor. Smaller issuers also reported fresh inflows despite fee compression.

Valkyrie and Franklin Templeton saw renewed investor interest, suggesting demand is spreading beyond top players. Even with lower fees, these issuers are managing to attract capital. Their activity indicates rising overall institutional confidence in Bitcoin exposure.

Daily flows followed a sharp reversal after $1.3 billion exited between January 7 and 9. Last week’s shift suggests optimism tied to upcoming CPI data and interest rate expectations. Institutional buyers appear to be positioning early for potential policy easing.

Bitcoin Price Pushes Toward $100,000 With ETFs Leading Liquidity

With Bitcoin approaching the $100,000 psychological level, attention remains focused on liquidity driven by ETF activity. Current ETF ownership pressure is building as demand concentrates supply. If momentum holds, the $107,000 level may come into play.

The structure of the Bitcoin market is thinning as supply is absorbed by funds. ETF inflows are now doing what retail demand alone could not. Combined fund assets rose sharply in tandem with net allocations.

Bitcoin ETF inflows surpassed expectations in the second week of January. The inflows pushed cumulative net contributions above $58.1 billion. Analysts attribute the rise to renewed confidence in macroeconomic conditions.

IBIT and FBTC continue to dominate spot ETF activity by volume and growth. Together, they accounted for the bulk of new capital entering the market. Their performance underlines the rapid institutional shift into crypto exposure.

Franklin and Valkyrie gained traction during the same session, reflecting broader fund participation. Their contribution, while smaller, aligned with the upward trajectory. The recent moves suggest coordinated accumulation across the segment.
