After a volatile end to 2025, US spot Bitcoin ETFs (exchange traded funds) are off to a relatively strong start to the new year. In response to this positive market spirit, crypto-related investment products just posted their best weekly performance since early October.
This recent weekly capital inflow signals a return to demand among US institutional investors, and Bitcoin prices have also responded positively during the same period. Over the past week, the top-tier cryptocurrency has regained some bullish momentum, rising to $97,500.
Bitcoin ETF records weekly inflows of $1.42 billion
According to the latest market data, US Spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded total net inflows of $1.42 billion over the past week. As mentioned earlier, this inflow marked the strongest weekly performance for crypto-related investment products in nearly three months.
This $1.42 billion weekly performance is in stark contrast to the Bitcoin ETF’s previous week’s withdrawal record of over $681 million. Prior to this new wave of investor attention, the BTC exchange-traded fund had attracted approximately $1.26 billion since the week ending October 17, 2025.

However, on Friday, January 16th, US-based Bitcoin ETFs recorded net outflows totaling $394.64 million, ending a mini four-day streak of capital inflows. Fidelity Wise Origin Bitcoin Fund (FBTC) led the outflow, with $205.22 million worth of withdrawals on the day.
This was followed by the Bitwise Bitcoin ETF (BITB), which posted a total of $90.38 million in net outflows on Friday. Ark21Shares Bitcoin ETF (ARKB) and Grayscale Bitcoin Trust (GBTC) were the only exchange-traded funds to end the week with negative daily net outflows ($69.42 million and $44.76 million, respectively).
It is worth mentioning that BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) sought to absorb some of the shock from withdrawals on Friday with a sole inflow of $15.09 million. This daily performance added to the $1 billion weekly positive inflow performance of major ETFs.
Similar to Bitcoin ETFs, the Ether exchange-traded fund has seen strong activity over the past week, including its biggest single-day performance since its inception. The ETH ETF recorded nearly $480 million in positive capital inflows over the past week, according to SoSoValue data.
Bitcoin price overview
As we speculated earlier, BTC prices and Bitcoin ETFs have moved in tandem over the past week as demand appears to be returning to the market. The flagship cryptocurrency was above the $97,000 level at the beginning of last week, but is now trading just above the $95,000 level after a slight decline in recent days.
