Spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds have finally returned to positive territory 
after enduring five straight weeks of capital withdrawals. Flow data shows 
that the just-concluded week delivered a strong rebound in investor demand, 
although the late surge was not enough to fully repair the damage recorded 
earlier in February. Investors Pour $787 Million Into Spot Bitcoin ETFs 
According to data from SoSoValue, Spot Bitcoin ETFs posted a combined $787.31 
million in net inflows during the week, which was the first green weekly print 
after five consecutive weeks of outflows. The turnaround was mostly 
facilitated by three straight days of positive flows on Tuesday, Wednesday, 
and Thursday, which helped tip the balance back into positive territory.

— Analyst Last week&#8217;s numbers and the change in momentum show that 
institutional and ETF-based investors chose last week to step back into 
Bitcoin after an extended period of consecutive outflows. However, despite the 
strong weekly performance, the entire monthly net flow still ended in red due 
to the depth of withdrawals that occurred earlier in the month. As such, 
February ultimately closed with a total net outflow of $206.52 million from 
Spot Bitcoin ETFs. Spot Bitcoin Weekly Netflows. Source: SoSoValue The 
resilience of ETF holders was also highlighted by crypto pundit Nate Geraci on 
the social media platform X. He noted that investors in Spot Bitcoin ETFs have 
largely maintained conviction during recent Bitcoin downturns. Geraci&#8217;s 
remarks described the recent withdrawals as modest in the broader context of 
the asset class’s overall growth. He pointed out that since Bitcoin reached 
its record high in early October, Spot Bitcoin ETFs have experienced about 
$6.5 billion in net outflows. However, he also noted that this figure is small 
relative to the $55 billion that the funds have attracted since their launch 
in January 2024. He also referenced the over $1 billion in inflows from 
Tuesday to Thursday, which is another example of how quickly sentiment can 
change. Spot Ethereum ETFs Follow The Recovery The rebound was not limited to 
Bitcoin-based funds. Spot Ethereum ETFs also recorded investor interest 
midweek, breaking what would have become a six-week streak of consecutive 
outflows. For the week, Spot Ethereum ETFs finished with a net inflow of 
$80.46 million. Although smaller in scale compared to Bitcoin’s figures, the 
inflow is the first broader stabilization in crypto ETF sentiment. Spot

Lays Out A Plan To Make Ethereum 1,000 Times More Capable Taken together, the 
inflows into both Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs indicate that institutional 
appetite may be rebuilding after several weeks of consecutive withdrawals. 
Whether this is the beginning of a sustained recovery or a short-term relief 
bounce will also depend on broader market conditions and how current 
geopolitical tensions resolve in the weeks ahead. Featured image from
