Bitcoin ETF Inflow Regains Momentum The US Spot Bitcoin ETF has recorded a significant outflux recently, with BTC witnessing a sharp decline. This robust outflux also appeared to have weighed on the investors’ sentiment, which has further triggered the volatility in the market.

According to Farside Investors data , the overall US Spot BTC ETFs recorded an influx of $475.2 million on Thursday. Fidelity’s FBTC led the influx trend with a $254.4 million inflow on December 26, reflecting the regaining confidence of the investors.

For context, the BTC ETFs recorded an outflow of $1.51 billion from December 19 through December 24, which has weighed on the investors’ sentiment, especially after the robust inflow over the past few weeks. Considering that, it appears that the institutional interest in the digital assets space is once again soaring. For context, the US Spot Ethereum ETF also recorded an inflow of $117.2 million yesterday, with Fidelity’s FETH leading with an $83 million influx. Source: Farside Investors BTC Recovery Ahead? Bitcoin price today was down about 3% and exchanged hands at $94,975 despite the positive US Spot Bitcoin ETF inflow. Its trading volume was up about 28% and the crypto touched a 24-hour high of $97,784. Furthermore, BTC Futures Open Interest fell about 3% in the last 4-hour time-frame, reflecting the bearish trend noted in the broader market. Meanwhile, the analysts also shared some gloomy forecasts for BTC , as it has lost its crucial support recently. Bitcoin has slipped recently due to a flurry of reasons, with top experts predicting a BTC crash to $60K ahead, which has fueled discussions in the market. However, despite the gloomy sentiment, some market experts remained optimistic about the long-term trajectory of the flagship crypto. Despite the short-term pullback amid the holiday mood, the crypto is likely to make a strong recovery ahead, potentially hitting new highs in the coming days. On the other hand, Bitwise has recently filed for a new BTC ETF to track companies like MicroStrategy, Metaplanet, and others. This also showcases the growing institutional confidence towards the flagship crypto. Having said that, the largest crypto by market cap is expected to rebound in the coming days, despite these short-term declines.
