Bitcoin ETFs See Fourth Day of Inflows, but Momentum Fades | ETF News
Bitcoin ETFs continue to see inflows, but a slowdown in momentum and declining BTC prices raise questions about future market sentiment
Yesterday, Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) recorded over $85 million in inflows. This marked the fourth consecutive day of net positive movement into the asset class.
However, while the continued inflows suggest a degree of investor confidence, daily inflow volume continues to fall as BTC struggles to regain bullish momentum.
BTC ETFs Lose Steam as Profit-Taking Accelerates
BTC closed at a low of $105,671 on Thursday as sellers continued to offload holdings to lock in profits from the recent rally. This ongoing wave of profit-taking has dampened institutional interest, contributing to the noticeable decline in daily ETF inflow volumes.
Net inflows into BTC-backed funds totaled $86.31 million yesterday. While this reflects continued investor interest, it also highlights the gradual slowdown in daily inflow momentum as BTC’s price remains under pressure.

Fidelity’s spot Bitcoin ETF FBTC recorded the highest net outflow among all BTC ETFs yesterday, with $197.19 million exiting the fund. FBTC’s total historical net inflows currently sit at $11.49 billion.
Bitcoin Slides, But Derivatives Traders Remain Bullish
The king coin is down 3% over the past day, extending the multi-day slide that has stalled short-term bullish sentiment. Interestingly, the decline in spot prices has not yet deterred traders in the derivatives market.
According to Coinglass, BTC’s funding rate across cryptocurrency exchanges remains positive despite recent price headwinds. At press time, this is 0.0019%.

The funding rate is a periodic payment exchanged between long and short traders in perpetual futures contracts to keep prices aligned with the spot market. When it is positive, long traders are paying shorts, indicating bullish sentiment and higher demand for leveraged long positions.
Moreover, on the options front, the demand for calls outweighs that for puts, indicating that many market participants expect a rebound or are positioning for upside volatility in the near term.

With inflows tapering off and BTC under pressure, the key question heading into next week is whether this resilient ETF trend will hold, or whether the market will record net outflows as investor sentiment further cools.

France is engulfed in a new wave of violent protests, with 70,000 security personnel deployed urgently and curfews imposed in multiple cities. Macron admits to mishandling the response.

Once frenzied buying, now the "ammunition warehouse" shrinks by 51 trillion KRW! Korean retail investors can no longer afford to buy
In four months, Korean retail investors' "ammunition stockpile" has dropped by 36.5%, returning to levels seen at the beginning of the year. Although retail investors have collectively made net purchases exceeding 75 trillion won, they are still absorbing the sell-off, but the influx of new funds has dried up, and the replenishment rate lags far behind the consumption rate. Combined with the KOSPI plunging nearly 20% this month, continued net selling by foreign investors, and concerns over AI-related credit risks, the Korean stock market may find it difficult to see a sustained rebound in the short term without support from private investors' funds.
