After a sluggish start to 2025, US Bitcoin ETF inflows have staged a dramatic reversal, with nearly $900 million pouring in on Friday. This surge was driven by Fidelity’s FBTC spot ETF, which saw substantial inflows of 3,640 BTC, or $357 million, the largest among its peers. Following three consecutive days of outflows earlier in the week, BlackRock’s IBIT and Ark Invest’s ARKB ETFs also experienced a strong rebound, with inflows of $252 million and $222 million, respectively. This positive shift signals renewed investor confidence in Bitcoin, reinforcing a bullish market sentiment.
Fidelity’s FBTC ETF is now leading the pack, contributing significantly to the overall US Bitcoin ETF inflows, which have reached approximately $700 million since the start of 2025. Nate Geraci, President of the ETF Store, commented on the resurgence, highlighting the impressive recovery after the previous outflows. As Bitcoin price approaches the $100K mark once again, on-chain metrics are offering further optimism for the asset’s future.
Bitcoin’s On-Chain Strength Signals Bullish Momentum
On-chain data reveals strong support for Bitcoin, with more than 48,000 BTC (worth over $4.5 billion) being withdrawn from exchanges in recent days. This indicates a growing preference for self-custody or long-term holding, often seen before a major price surge. Notably, the Coinbase Premium Index, a key indicator of institutional demand, has shown signs of recovery, signaling increased interest from U.S.-based investors.
While Bitcoin traders remain cautious ahead of Donald Trump’s inauguration on January 20, the market is awaiting potential volatility, with some experts predicting BTC prices to reach between $175K and $350K in 2025. Despite mixed liquidation data, with both long and short positions being liquidated, Bitcoin’s technical outlook remains bullish, and the market eagerly anticipates a continued upward trajectory toward $100K.
