Bitcoin ETFs See Strong January Inflows Despite Market Dip

U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs saw a notable uptick in investment during January, surpassing December's inflows.

According to recent data, about $5.25 billion flowed into the 12 Bitcoin ETFs in January, compared to $4.53 billion the previous month. This surge in capital was primarily driven by BlackRock’s IBIT, which brought in $3.23 billion, pushing its assets to $59.39 billion by the end of the month, marking a $7.67 billion rise.

Fidelity’s FBTC, the second-largest ETF by assets, also saw strong inflows, with $1.28 billion added, boosting its total to $21.76 billion.

Analysts, including Matt Hougan, Chief Investment Officer at Bitwise, predict that the 12 ETFs could collectively attract more than $50 billion in inflows over the course of 2025, despite monthly fluctuations.

Although there was initial optimism surrounding the re-election of Donald Trump, crypto sentiment has cooled, possibly due to the lack of specific cryptocurrency-related comments since his return to office.
