Bitcoin ETF flows surge to $900M, signaling market recovery. Fidelity's FBTC leads, with on-chain indicators pointing to a bullish trend.
Bitcoin ETF flows are back and they’re coming in hot. We’ve seen a surge in inflows to the tune of $900 million, with Fidelity’s FBTC ETF leading the charge. All of this has traders and investors buzzing about a possible Bitcoin price crossing the $100,000 mark. Let’s break down what's happening in the market.
ETF flows have fluctuated quite a bit this year, but this recent spike is the biggest we’ve seen in a while. Fidelity’s FBTC ETF appears to be the main driver, adding 3,640 BTC recently. After a weak start to 2025, the market is showing some signs of life again. The uptick in Bitcoin price getting close to $100K also seems to be fueling optimism.
The spike in Bitcoin ETF flows isn’t happening in a vacuum. Fidelity’s ETF led the way with $357 million. After a few days of outflows, BlackRock's IBIT brought in $252 million, while Ark Invest’s ARKB contributed $222 million. Nate Geraci, President of ETF Store, commented on the situation saying that we saw “over $900 million” in inflows today, adding that we’ve seen about $700 million in net inflows since the start of the year.
On-chain indicators show strength for Bitcoin, suggesting that bulls are ready to re-engage after the recent correction. Crypto analyst Ali Martinez reported that there have been significant withdrawals from exchanges recently, totaling over 48,000 BTC worth $4.5 billion. Massive outflows can indicate a shift in market sentiment. Additionally, the Coinbase Premium Index has dropped to a two-year low at -0.23%, but reports are emerging that it’s already rebounding, indicating renewed institutional interest.
The Bitcoin community is awaiting Donald Trump’s inauguration on January 20, which has added to the speculation. BTC price is currently trading at about $98,000, a 1.25% increase, with trading volume down 13%. Liquidations have also spiked to $53 million today, with short liquidations leading the way. Many believe BTC could see some volatility, but the overall sentiment is increasingly bullish.
The recent spike in Bitcoin ETF flows is certainly a signal of renewed interest, and has many in the market speculating about what’s next. There are mixed feelings about how this will all play out, but the overall vibe is that Bitcoin is on the move again.
