Bitcoin ETFs Roar Back With $1.4B Surge in Inflows

2026/01/18 04:44

Spot Bitcoin ETFs quietly absorbed more than $1.4 billion in fresh capital over the past week, marking the strongest wave of inflows seen in months. Rather than building steadily day by day, demand arrived in bursts, with heavy buying concentrated early in the week before tapering off as traders locked in profits.

Key Takeaways
  • Bitcoin ETFs absorbed over $1.4 billion in a single week, signaling renewed institutional participation.
  • Ethereum ETFs also posted solid net inflows, despite late-week profit-taking.
  • Reduced whale selling combined with ETF demand is tightening effective crypto supply.

Even a notable late-week outflow failed to offset the earlier surge, leaving the overall picture firmly positive. The scale of demand was last seen in early autumn, when ETFs briefly became the dominant force shaping Bitcoin price action.

Ethereum sees parallel, but smaller, allocation

Ethereum-focused ETFs followed a similar script. Capital flowed in aggressively at the start of the week, suggesting coordinated institutional positioning rather than retail speculation. Selling pressure reappeared toward the end of the week, trimming gains but stopping well short of reversing them.

By the close of trading, Ether ETFs still held on to solid weekly net inflows, reinforcing the idea that institutions are selectively rebuilding exposure to core crypto assets rather than broadly de-risking.

What’s changing beneath the surface

According to Vincent Liu of Kronos Research, the ETF flow pattern reflects more than short-term positioning. Long-only allocators appear to be re-entering the market after stepping back in late December, using ETFs as a lower-friction gateway.

At the same time, blockchain data is sending a complementary signal. Large Bitcoin holders – often a source of persistent selling pressure – have significantly reduced net distribution. That shift matters. When ETF demand rises while whale selling fades, the amount of freely circulating supply tightens, even if prices remain volatile.

A market bid is forming, but cautiously

This doesn’t mean the market has flipped into a full-blown rally. Volatility is still present, and pullbacks remain part of the landscape. However, the character of those pullbacks may be changing. Instead of triggering accelerated sell-offs, dips are increasingly being met with absorption from institutional buyers operating through ETFs.

Liu describes the current phase as transitional rather than definitive. The ingredients for a more durable move are beginning to align, but confirmation will depend on whether inflows persist and large holders continue to stay on the sidelines.

For now, the message from ETF flows is clear: institutional capital is no longer waiting entirely on the sidelines. It is stepping back in – selectively, patiently, and with a growing influence on crypto’s supply-demand balance.

Disney Pockets $2.2 Billion For Filming Outside America

The post Disney Pockets $2.2 Billion For Filming Outside America appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Disney has made $2.2 billion from filming productions like ‘Avengers: Endgame’ in the U.K. ©Marvel Studios 2018 Disney has been handed $2.2 billion by the government of the United Kingdom over the past 15 years in return for filming movies and streaming shows in the country according to analysis of more than 400 company filings Disney is believed to be the biggest single beneficiary of the Audio-Visual Expenditure Credit (AVEC) in the U.K. which gives studios a cash reimbursement of up to 25.5% of the money they spend there. The generous fiscal incentives have attracted all of the major Hollywood studios to the U.K. and the country has reeled in the returns from it. Data from the British Film Institute (BFI) shows that foreign studios contributed around 87% of the $2.2 billion (£1.6 billion) spent on making films in the U.K. last year. It is a 7.6% increase on the sum spent in 2019 and is in stark contrast to the picture in the United States. According to permit issuing office FilmLA, the number of on-location shooting days in Los Angeles fell 35.7% from 2019 to 2024 making it the second-least productive year since 1995 aside from 2020 when it was the height of the pandemic. The outlook hasn’t improved since then with FilmLA’s latest data showing that between April and June this year there was a 6.2% drop in shooting days on the same period a year ago. It followed a 22.4% decline in the first quarter with FilmLA noting that “each drop reflected the impact of global production cutbacks and California’s ongoing loss of work to rival territories.” The one-two punch of the pandemic followed by the 2023 SAG-AFTRA strikes put Hollywood on the ropes just as the U.K. began drafting a plan to improve its fiscal incentives…
