📈 US spot Bitcoin ETFs are seeing explosive growth, with net inflows up 175% year-over-year. Between January 13 and February 5, 2025, total inflows into these funds reached $4.4 billion, compared to $1.6 billion in the same period in 2024.

🚀 Bitcoin ETF – One of the Most Successful Launches in History

Since their approval, the #ETFbitcoin funds have attracted a total of $40.6 billion in net inflows, making it one of the most successful ETF launches in financial market history.

Notably, the BlackRock iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) is the leader, with total inflows reaching $40.7 billion. However, Grayscale GBTC is facing outflows of up to $21.9 billion, affecting the total figures of other Bitcoin ETFs.

📊 Is ETF Inflow a “Long-Term Bet” on Bitcoin?

The question is whether this capital flow reflects long-term confidence in Bitcoin or is just part of a basis trade strategy.

  • Basis trade is when an investor buys $BTC on the spot market, and simultaneously sells a futures contract when the price of this contract is higher than the current Bitcoin price.

  • Currently, the profit margin is up to 10%, but will gradually decrease as futures prices converge with the spot price of Bitcoin.

Data from #Glassnode shows that open interest on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME) has decreased from 180,099 BTC to 168,549 BTC since the beginning of 2025, indicating that the inflow into Bitcoin ETFs does not mainly come from arbitrage trading but may come from confidence in the long-term growth of BTC.

🔮 What is the signal for the Bitcoin market?

✅ Cash flow into Bitcoin ETF is increasing sharply, showing great interest from investors.
✅ The market is shifting from short-term trading to long-term investing, as data shows that#basistrade no longer dominant.
✅ The involvement of major funds like BlackRock is strengthening Bitcoin's position, making it a more mainstream investment asset than ever.

👉 With strong capital inflows, Bitcoin can continue its growth momentum in the coming time! 🚀
