Historical Flows Show Repeated Inflow and Outflow Swings

The historical chart tracks Bitcoin spot ETF flows from January 12, 2024, through November 2026. Green bars represent daily inflows, while red bars show withdrawals. A yellow line tracks Bitcoin’s price.

ETF flows remained mostly positive during early 2024, with several inflow sessions exceeding $500 million. One March spike approached $1 billion. However, withdrawals appeared intermittently between June and October.

Inflows strengthened in November 2024, including a session reaching approximately $1.35 billion. Early 2025 maintained strong participation before an outflow approaching $1 billion appeared around March.

2025 and 2026 Bring Further Flow Volatility

Inflows recovered between April and September 2025, with several sessions exceeding $500 million. Another August spike approached $1.2 billion. However, withdrawals became more frequent during the final months of that year.

ETF activity remained uneven throughout 2026. Several large inflows appeared between March and September, including a September spike near $1 billion. Renewed withdrawals followed, with some daily outflows reaching approximately $650 million.

The chart also shows that ETF flows shifted repeatedly during periods of changing Bitcoin prices. Strong inflows did not always coincide with uninterrupted price increases. The latest weekly figures add another period of withdrawals to that longer record of changing fund flows.
