Bitcoin ETFs Surge With Near $1B Daily Inflow

Flows into bitcoin ETFs rebounded Friday as spot funds pulled in $908.1 million, their strongest daily haul since late November, according to data from U.K.-based asset manager Farside Investors.

The nearly $1 billion haul marked a dramatic reversal from weeks of persistent outflows that began last month and continued into 2025, including Thursday’s withdrawal of $242.3 million, according to Farside data.

The Friday rebound helped push the three-day total into positive territory at $665.8 million, the data show.

Bitcoin has resumed climbing after stumbling last month. Investors are betting a crypto-friendly Trump adminstration will loosen up regulations around digital currencies. Others are bidding up the price as bitcoin is increasingly used as an inflation hedge; the Federal Reserve expects inflation for 2025 at 3%, above its 2% target.

Bitcoin is currently around $102,000, up 11% over the past week and still below its all-time high of $108,268 reached in the middle of December, according to CoinMarketCap data.

The 11 spot bitcoin ETFs hold 1.1 million bitcoin, or around 5.5% of bitcoin’s circulating supply, according to data compiled by etf.com.

After starting 2025 with the largest-ever single-day outflows of $332.6 million from BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT), a rebound began with the Fidelity Wise Origin Bitcoin Fund (FBTC) leading Friday’s inflows at $357 million, according to Farside data.

IBIT bounced back to attract $253.1 million on the same day, while the ARK 21Shares Bitcoin ETF (ARKB) and Bitwise Bitcoin ETF (BITB) drew $222.6 million and $61.1 million, respectively, the data showed.

The recovery pushed FBTC’s year-to-date inflows to $393.2 million, establishing an early lead in 2025, Farside reported. The fund now holds 205,510 bitcoins, according to its holdings report.

The VanEck Bitcoin ETF (HODL) added $5.6 billion Friday, while the Grayscale Bitcoin Mini Trust (BTC) gained $8.7 million in new assets, according to the data. The big inflows helped offset the previous day’s market-wide withdrawals.

With their first full year of trading quickly approaching, spot bitcoin ETFs have accumulated $35.9 billion in total assets, with BlackRock’s IBIT holding over 551,076 bitcoins, according to its fund page, making it the third-largest known bitcoin holder globally.
