Spot Bitcoin ETFs Add $167M As Inflows Stretch To Third Straight Day

TLDR

• Bitcoin ETFs posted $167M in inflows Tuesday, extending a three-day streak
• Weekly ETF inflows now total $311.6M, close to last week’s $318M outflows
• Goldman Sachs reduced Bitcoin ETF holdings while adding XRP and Solana
• Altcoin ETFs saw gains Tuesday with Ether, XRP, and Solana leading

Spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded $167 million in inflows on Tuesday, extending their positive streak to a third day. This movement has nearly reversed the $318 million in outflows seen last week. Despite Bitcoin’s 13% price drop over the past seven days, investor interest remains steady. The rebound in ETF activity suggests institutional investors are still allocating capital to Bitcoin, even as broader market conditions remain uncertain and volatile.

ETF Inflows Continue Despite Falling Prices

Spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded $166.6 million in inflows on Tuesday, continuing a positive streak that began earlier this week. This lifted the total weekly inflows to $311.6 million, according to SoSoValue.

The inflows came despite Bitcoin’s 13% drop over the past seven days. Prices briefly slipped below $68,000 on Tuesday, based on data from CoinGecko. While last week saw outflows of $318 million, this week’s gains have nearly balanced the loss.

Institutional Holdings Show Resilience

Data from SoSoValue shows that core institutional holdings have remained stable even during the price drop. The total institutional Bitcoin held in ETFs has only decreased by 7% since October, from 1.37 million BTC to 1.29 million BTC.

Eric Balchunas, senior ETF analyst at Bloomberg, noted that “only about 6% of total assets exited the funds,” despite the sharp fall in Bitcoin price. He added that BlackRock’s IBIT remains the fastest ETF to reach $60 billion in assets.

Goldman Sachs Adjusts Crypto ETF Portfolio

Goldman Sachs disclosed in a recent SEC Form 13F filing that it trimmed its Bitcoin ETF exposure in Q4 2025. The bank cut its position in BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust ETF by 39%, reducing shares from 34 million to 20.7 million.

At the same time, Goldman decreased holdings in Fidelity Wise Origin Bitcoin and Ether ETFs. However, it opened new positions in XRP and Solana ETFs, acquiring $152 million worth of XRP shares and $104 million in Solana ETFs.

Altcoin ETFs Register Modest Gains

While Bitcoin ETFs led inflows, altcoin ETFs also saw increases. Ether ETFs added around $14 million on Tuesday. XRP and Solana ETFs followed with $3.3 million and $8.4 million, respectively, according to SoSoValue.

The total activity indicates a broader market movement into crypto ETFs, though levels are still below early-year highs. Bitcoin ETF assets have fallen from a $100 billion peak to about $60 billion, yet core investors appear to be holding.
