Bitcoin ETFs See $167M Tuesday Surge, Almost Recover Previous Week's Losses
US-listed spot Bitcoin ETFs attracted $311 million over the week, almost reversing the prior week's $318 million in redemptions despite a 13% drop in BTC prices.
Exchange-traded funds tracking spot Bitcoin in the United States have maintained their positive momentum for a third consecutive trading session, with weekly gains approaching full recovery from the previous week's withdrawals.
On Tuesday, spot Bitcoin (BTC) ETFs attracted $166.6 million in fresh capital, pushing the week's cumulative inflows to $311.6 million, data from SoSoValue indicates.
The previous week witnessed net redemptions of $318 million from these investment vehicles, representing the third straight week of withdrawals that collectively exceeded $3 billion.
The recent trading sessions have shown renewed momentum for Bitcoin ETFs, even as the price of BTC tumbled approximately 13% throughout the past seven days, momentarily dropping beneath the $68,000 threshold on Tuesday, data from CoinGecko shows.
Earlier in the week, market analysts identified indications of a possible reversal in trends across cryptocurrency exchange-traded products, highlighting a deceleration in selling pressure.
Goldman trims Bitcoin ETF exposure, adds XRP and Solana ETFs
Goldman Sachs, the US-based investment banking giant, revealed yesterday through regulatory disclosures that it reduced its Bitcoin ETF positions during the final quarter of 2025, as shown in a Form 13F submission to the Securities and Exchange Commission.
The financial institution notably decreased its stake in BlackRock's iShares Bitcoin Trust ETF (IBIT), slashing shares outstanding by 39% from approximately 70 million during Q3 down to 40.6 million in Q4, representing a value of roughly $2 billion.
The bank also trimmed positions in additional Bitcoin-focused funds and related entities, including Fidelity Wise Origin Bitcoin (FBTC) and Bitcoin Depot, and lowered its holdings in Ether (ETH) exchange-traded funds.
Simultaneously, Goldman Sachs revealed inaugural positions in exchange-traded funds tracking XRP (XRP) and Solana (SOL), purchasing 6.95 million shares of XRP ETFs, valued at $152 million, along with 8.24 million shares of Solana ETFs, worth $104 million.
Based on data compiled by SoSoValue, spot altcoin ETFs experienced moderate capital inflows yesterday, with Ether-based funds attracting approximately $14 million, while XRP and Solana ETFs collected $3.3 million and $8.4 million, respectively.
On Thursday, Eric Balchunas, senior ETF analyst at Bloomberg, observed that the vast majority of Bitcoin ETF investors maintained their holdings throughout the recent market decline, calculating that roughly only 6% of aggregate assets were withdrawn from the funds even amid Bitcoin's steep price deterioration.
He further remarked that, despite BlackRock's IBIT experiencing an asset decline to $60 billion from its $100 billion high-water mark, the fund could sustain this level for an extended period while continuing to hold the distinction of being the "all-time-fastest ETF to reach $60 billion."
