On January 16, 2025, the daily net flow report for U.S. Bitcoin ETFs showed a net outflow of 617 BTC against the backdrop of 450 new bitcoins being mined that day. This indicates that more bitcoins were sold than were introduced through mining, suggesting significant selling pressure or strategic portfolio adjustments among investors.

The individual ETF performances varied, highlighting differing investor sentiments across the funds. BlackRock’s Bitcoin ETF (Ticker: $IBIT) recorded a substantial net outflow, losing 2,274 BTC, which was a major contributor to the overall market’s direction. Conversely, ARK’s Bitcoin ETF (Ticker: $ARKB) exhibited strong positive momentum, gaining 1,384 BTC, pointing to robust investor confidence in this fund. Other notable movements included Bitwise’s Bitcoin ETF (Ticker: $BITB) with an inflow of 327 BTC and VanEck’s (Ticker: $HODL) and Franklin Templeton’s (Ticker: $EZBC) ETFs, which saw smaller gains of 56 BTC and 29 BTC, respectively.

On the downside, Invesco Galaxy’s Bitcoin ETF (Ticker: $BTCO) experienced a net outflow of 131 BTC, and Grayscale’s GBTC (Ticker: $GBTC) had a slight reduction of 8 BTC. These movements underscore a mixed market sentiment, with significant activity in both acquiring and offloading BTC across various funds. The overall net outflow, although less than the total new bitcoins mined, illustrates a dynamic interaction between ETF trading activities and the ongoing bitcoin mining, impacting the liquidity and market dynamics of bitcoin.
