Spot Bitcoin ETFs Draw $996 Million Weekly Inflows, SoSoValue Shows Strongest Performance
Key Takeaways
- Spot Bitcoin ETFs drew nearly $1 billion in weekly inflows.
- Inflows signal renewed risk appetite and rising institutional demand for Bitcoin ETFs.
- Last week’s inflows represented the strongest weekly performance in more than three months.
ETF inflows surge
Spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) drew nearly $1 billion in net inflows over the past week, with multiple outlets tying the rebound to improving risk sentiment and a shift in market positioning.
Cointelegraph said SoSoValue data showed spot Bitcoin (BTC) ETFs attracted $996 muillion in total net inflows last week, calling it the strongest performance in more than three months.

Cointelegraph added that Friday alone brought $663.9 million in inflows, while Tuesday saw $411.5 million and Wednesday added $186 million, after Monday began with a $291 million outflow.
Cointelegraph also reported that total net assets across spot Bitcoin ETFs climbed above $101 billion by Friday, alongside daily volumes nearing $4.8 billion.
Cointribune similarly described “nearly one billion dollars flowed into these funds” and said SoSoValue data put net inflows at $996 million, with Monday outflows reaching $291 million.
MEXC echoed the same SoSoValue estimate of $996 million weekly inflows and highlighted Friday’s $663.9 million as “about two-thirds of the total,” while also citing total net assets above $101 billion and daily trading volumes “approaching $4.8 billion.”
Bitcoin and Ether ETFs
Alongside the Bitcoin inflow surge, CoinDesk reported that spot bitcoin and ether ETFs listed in the United States logged their strongest week in three months, describing the move as being “impulsados por apuestas alcistas.”
CoinDesk said the 11 spot bitcoin ETFs recorded a net inflow of US$1.420 millones la semana pasada, citing TradingView as its data source, and said the figure was the highest since the second week of October.

CoinDesk singled out BlackRock’s IBIT, reporting US$1.030 millones in inflows, and said ether ETFs attracted US$479 millones, including US$219 millones in BlackRock’s ETHA.
CoinDesk also stated that, in the year-to-date period, spot bitcoin and ether ETFs had raised US$1.210 millones and US$584,9 millones, respectively.
Invezz likewise tied the rebound to regulated product demand, saying U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs logged “their strongest weekly inflows in more than three months” and citing SoSoValue for a combined net inflow of $1.42 billion for the week ending January 16.
Invezz added that BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) accounted for “$1.03 billion over a five-day period,” and it reported that spot Ethereum ETFs recorded $479 million in net inflows last week.
De-escalation and macro
Several crypto outlets linked the ETF inflow rebound to geopolitical and macro signals, particularly easing around US–Iran relations and the Strait of Hormuz.
Cointelegraph said analysts at Bitunix argued that “markets are increasingly pricing in how geopolitical tensions evolve rather than whether they persist,” and it said signs of de-escalation, “particularly around US–Iran relations,” reduced extreme risk scenarios.
Cointelegraph added that this weakened demand for traditional safe havens like the US dollar, while “concerns about US debt demand and high long-term yields” were starting to weaken confidence in traditional “risk-free” assets.
Cointelegraph also described the Federal Reserve as still taking “a cautious approach,” with expectations for rate cuts remaining limited.
Cointribune similarly said the easing between Washington and Tehran was “a direct illustration” and pointed to Friday’s announcement that the Strait of Hormuz would be reopened to commercial navigation for the duration of the current ceasefire.
Cointelegraph connected that development to market moves, saying Bitcoin surged above $77,000 following the news and that Brent crude fell roughly 10% to around $85 per barrel.
Range, liquidity, and positioning
Beyond macro catalysts, the sources also describe how traders and market structure are interpreting the move in Bitcoin.
Cointelegraph quoted Bitunix analysts saying, “In crypto market structure, BTC is currently in a classic liquidity redistribution phase,” and it added that Bitcoin “continues to trade in a defined range, with resistance above $75,000 and support forming near $72,000.”

Cointelegraph further said “Liquidation heatmaps suggest the market is building a new equilibrium range rather than extending a directional trend.”
Cointribune echoed the range framing by stating that BTC moves within “a range between 72,000 and 75,000 dollars as support, with resistance above 75,000.”
Cryptonews.net, however, emphasized a technical breakout narrative, saying Bitcoin “extends gains, up 6% so far this week, trading above $75,000 on Friday,” and it described a “textbook breakout pattern scenario in play.”
Cryptonews.net also reported that the largest cryptocurrency hit “a two-month high of $76,038 on Tuesday,” and it said it then pulled back and steadied around $74,800 the next day.
Conflicting inflow figures and next risks
While the overall theme is renewed ETF demand, the sources diverge on the exact weekly inflow totals and the timing windows used.
“Home»News»Crypto News Spot Bitcoin ETFs have just recorded their best week in over three months”
Cointelegraph and Cointribune both cite SoSoValue weekly net inflows of $996 million, while Invezz cites a SoSoValue combined net inflow of $1.42 billion for the week ending January 16 and says IBIT accounted for $1.03 billion over a five-day period.

TradingView-based figures in CoinDesk put the combined spot bitcoin ETF inflow at US$1.420 millones la semana pasada and report ether inflows at US$479 millones, including US$219 millones in ETHA.
Meanwhile, TradingView-based framing in CoinDesk says the week was the strongest in three months, and it also states that in the year to date, spot bitcoin and ether ETFs have raised US$1.210 millones and US$584,9 millones.
Beyond the numbers, the sources also describe how quickly sentiment can flip, with Invezz reporting that “Bitcoin retreats on geopolitical headlines” and that Bitcoin slid this weekend and into Monday after tariff tensions escalated.
Invezz said Trump announced a 10% tariff on goods from Denmark, Sweden, France, Germany, the Netherlands, Finland, the United Kingdom and Norway effective February 1, and it reported that in the last 24 hours about $824 million worth of positions were liquidated, including $763.7 million in long positions.
