US spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) have ended a seven-day run of net outflows, pulling in $355 million in capital as traders pointed to early signs of improving global liquidity.
BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust ETF (IBIT) led the rebound with $143.75 million in inflows on Tuesday, followed by the Ark 21Shares Bitcoin ETF (ARKB) at $109.56 million and Fidelity’s Wise Origin Bitcoin Fund (FBTC) with $78.59 million, according to data from SoSoValue. Bitwise’s Bitcoin ETF (BITB) added $13.87 million, while smaller inflows were recorded by Grayscale’s Bitcoin Trust ETF (GBTC) with $4.28 million, and VanEck’s Bitcoin ETF (HODL) with $4.98 million.
The turnaround comes as spot Bitcoin (BTC) ETFs recorded roughly $1.12 billion in cumulative net outflows during the prior seven trading days. The heaviest selling occurred on Dec. 26, when funds shed about $275.9 million, marking the largest daily outflow of the period.
Notably, December was dominated by outflows, with spot Bitcoin ETFs shedding roughly $744 million overall as investors pulled back amid falling prices and thin year-end liquidity.

Analysts say global liquidity is improving
The shift in flows comes amid improving liquidity conditions. In a Wednesday post on X, Arthur Hayes said global dollar liquidity likely bottomed in November and has been edging higher since. “$ liq likely bottomed in Nov and is inching higher,” Hayes wrote, adding that the setup favors a renewed push in crypto markets.
Other analysts echoed the view. Crypto commentator Mister Crypto said global liquidity indicators are “going vertical,” pointing to rising money supply measures across major economies.
The analyst also pointed to upcoming US Treasury bill purchases by the Federal Reserve, noting that the Fed is set to inject $8.165 billion into markets on Jan. 6. “We are now on the bullish side of the liquidity cycle,” he said.
