On February 11, it was reported that U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded net capital inflows for the third consecutive trading day, attracting approximately $167 million on Tuesday. The total inflow for this week has reached $311.6 million, nearly offsetting last week’s outflow of $318 million. Previously, these products experienced three weeks of consecutive net outflows, with total withdrawals exceeding $3 billion.
Despite Bitcoin’s price declining about 13 over the past seven days and briefly falling below $68,000, capital movement indicates that institutions have not engaged in large-scale withdrawals. Several analysts pointed out that recent selling pressure has noticeably eased, ETF capital flow curves are stabilizing, and market sentiment is gradually recovering.
Meanwhile, institutional holdings structures have also changed. According to Form 13F filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, Goldman Sachs significantly reduced its Bitcoin ETF exposure in Q4 2025, cutting holdings of a leading product by approximately 39%, while simultaneously decreasing positions in multiple Ethereum-related ETFs.
Notably, Goldman Sachs disclosed for the first time holdings in spot XRP and Solana ETFs, purchasing approximately $152 million and $104 million worth of these products, respectively, indicating a rebalancing approach toward some mainstream blockchain assets. Data shows that spot altcoin ETFs have recently seen moderate inflows, with Ethereum funds recording about $14 million in a single day, and XRP and Solana-related products also experiencing small positive flows.
Bloomberg senior ETF analyst Eric Balchunas noted that despite increased price volatility, most Bitcoin ETF investors continue to hold their positions. He estimates that even during sharp declines, only about 6% of assets are liquidated. Even after retreating from peak levels, related funds still hold the record for the fastest achievement of $60 billion in assets.
From the perspective of capital flows and institutional allocation changes, spot Bitcoin ETFs remain a key indicator for the crypto market. Their short-term rebound may provide new insights into future trends.
