Significant Capital Inflow for US Bitcoin ETFs Amid Market Downturn
In a week marked by volatility for the cryptocurrency market, US Bitcoin ETFs (exchange-traded funds) experienced a notable surge in capital inflows on Friday, February 6. As Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies faced substantial price drops, Bitcoin-linked exchange-traded products also saw significant withdrawals earlier in the week. With the recent confirmation of a bear market due to sharp price declines, the performance of US Bitcoin ETFs during their initial extended period of falling prices becomes especially intriguing. As of 2026, these funds have recorded capital inflows on 11 days.
US Bitcoin ETFs Witness $330 Million Net Inflows
According to recent market insights, US Bitcoin ETFs recorded a total net capital inflow of $330 million on Friday. This influx follows three days of heavy withdrawals from BTC exchange-traded funds throughout the week. Although Friday’s market data is not yet comprehensive, BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust, identified by the IBIT ticker, led the charge in attracting capital, adding approximately $231.62 million to its value by week’s end.

Additionally, the Ark & 21Shares ETF (ARKB) secured the second spot with a net inflow of $43.25 million on the same day. Meanwhile, Bitwise’s Bitcoin ETF (BITB) and Grayscale’s Bitcoin Mini Trust (BTC) gained net inflows of $28.7 million and $20.13 million, respectively. The Invesco Galaxy Bitcoin ETF (BTCO) also contributed by posting a net inflow of $6.97 million. These figures starkly contrast the performance seen earlier in the week.
The capital inflow in Bitcoin ETFs coincided with Bitcoin’s price rally back to the $70,000 level on Friday. This movement aligns with the positive shift in the Coinbase Premium, a measure of US investor demand, as the weekend approached.
According to data from SoSoValue, this $330 million performance contributes to a weekly record of approximately $350 million in negative outflows. Importantly, the $561 million capital inflow recorded on Monday, February 2, significantly influenced the final weekly figure.
