Spot Bitcoin ETFs Experience $90 Million in Inflows Following Eight-Day Outflow Period

After eight consecutive days of outflows, Spot Bitcoin ETFs finally experienced a net influx of $94.34 million on February 28, 2025, indicating a potential change in market sentiment.

This shift follows a tumultuous period that witnessed significant capital withdrawals from Bitcoin ETFs, including a remarkable outflow of $754.53 million on February 26.

Recent data from SoSoValue reveals that total cumulative net inflows now amount to $36.94 billion, with total net assets across all spot Bitcoin ETFs reaching $95.38 billion. The total trading volume on February 28 was $3.91 billion.

Constancy’s FBTC Records Highest Inflows

Among the major players, Constancy’s FBTC noted the highest influx, adding $176.03 million, followed by Ark Invest’s ARKB, which recorded an influx of $193.70 million.

Conversely, BlackRock’s IBIT, one of the most notable Bitcoin ETFs, experienced a net outflow of $244.56 million, while Grayscale’s GBTC faced an additional $33.28 million in net exits.

The turnaround occurs amid increased market volatility, with Bitcoin recently oscillating between $78,000 and $85,000.

Despite the recent influx, the overall trend remains uncertain, as prior outflows were driven by profit-taking and changing investor sentiment.

Analysts indicate that continued sustained inflows may be essential to confirm a bullish trend reversal for spot Bitcoin ETFs.

Meanwhile, BlackRock maintains a positive outlook on Bitcoin’s long-term investment potential.

In a commentary dated February 27, Michael Gates, the lead portfolio manager for the firm’s Target Allocation ETF model suite, highlighted that Bitcoin could serve as a unique diversification tool for portfolios.

“As multi-asset portfolio constructors, we believe bitcoin has long-term investment merit for certain investors and may potentially provide unique and additive sources of diversification to portfolios.”

However, market sentiment has been unsettled.

On February 26, the Crypto Fear & Greed Index fell to “extreme fear” with a score of 10—its lowest level since June 2022, when the collapse of Three Arrows Capital (3AC) impacted the industry.

BlackRock Adds Bitcoin ETF to Its Model Portfolio Amid Growing Institutional Adoption

BlackRock has incorporated its Bitcoin ETF into its model portfolio product.

According to a Bloomberg report on February 28, the firm’s iShares Bitcoin ETF Trust (IBIT) will now be available for portfolios allowing alternative assets, with allocations ranging from 1% to 2%.

This move could stimulate additional demand for the ETF as institutional adoption of Bitcoin continues to rise.

The 1%–2% allocation reflects a cautious approach due to Bitcoin’s notorious volatility, which BlackRock’s Investment Institute characterized as a “reasonable range” in a recent research paper.

The firm noted that exceeding this threshold could significantly affect the overall portfolio’s risk profile.

BlackRock’s model portfolio business, valued at $150 billion, offers a variety of investment strategies for financial advisors managing client assets.

These portfolios provide different asset allocations tailored to objectives such as growth, income generation, or capital preservation.

In 2023, BlackRock projected that the model portfolio sector would expand to a $10 trillion industry over the next five years, up from approximately $4.2 trillion at that time.

Given the sector’s influence, adjustments in model portfolio allocations can lead to substantial capital inflows into specific assets, including Bitcoin ETFs.

Financial institutions have increasingly examined Bitcoin’s role in traditional portfolio structures, particularly the 60/40 allocation model.
