U.S. spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds recorded $355 million in net inflows on December 30, breaking a seven-day outflow streak that had drained more than $1.12 billion from the sector, according to daily flow data.
The rebound marked the first positive session after a prolonged period of selling pressure, during which daily outflows regularly exceeded $150 million. December 26 stood out as one of the heaviest single-day drawdowns, highlighting the intensity of late-year risk-off positioning.
BlackRock, ARK 21Shares, and Fidelity lead inflows
BlackRock’s spot Bitcoin ETF led the recovery, attracting approximately $143.7 million in inflows during the session. The ARK Invest and 21Shares fund followed closely, adding $109.6 million, while Fidelity’s Bitcoin ETF recorded inflows of $78.6 million.
Smaller but still positive contributions were reported across several other issuers. Bitwise posted inflows of $13.9 million, VanEck added $5.0 million, and Grayscale registered $4.3 million. Several remaining products saw little to no material activity during the session.
Inflows spread across issuers despite recent pressure
Unlike the previous week, when outflows were broad-based and affected nearly all major spot Bitcoin ETFs, the December 30 inflows were distributed across multiple issuers. This shift suggests selective re-engagement by investors rather than a narrow allocation driven solely by fee sensitivity.
Most U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs currently charge annual management fees ranging from roughly 0.19% to 0.25%, with a few products priced outside that range. The latest inflows were not concentrated exclusively in the lowest-fee funds, indicating that brand strength and liquidity continue to play a significant role in investor allocation decisions.
Early January flows key to sentiment outlook
While the positive session interrupted the recent downward trend, it was not sufficient to offset the heavy losses accumulated over the prior seven days. As a result, overall sentiment toward spot Bitcoin ETFs remains cautious.
Market participants are now closely watching fund flows in early January to assess whether the December 30 rebound signals a more durable shift in investor appetite or merely a temporary pause in the year-end selling pressure.
