In 2025, the United States Bitcoin spot ETF saw a total net inflow of $22.9426 billion throughout the year, but there was a withdrawal of funds at the end of the year, with outflows of $3.1564 billion and $1.6378 billion in November and December respectively, reflecting market profit-taking and risk caution. Nevertheless, the annual funds remained at a relatively high level, indicating that the fundamental support for Bitcoin ETFs remains strong.

【BlockBeats】In 2025, even before the year ends, the performance of the US Bitcoin spot ETF funds has already attracted considerable attention. According to data, the total net inflow for the year reached $22.9426 billion, but behind this figure, there are clearly two contrasting scenes.

The performance in the first 10 months has been quite strong. January led the way with a net inflow of $4.5123 billion, followed by peaks in March and July, with inflows of $3.9458 billion and $3.2109 billion respectively. Even in relatively stable months, inflows generally remained between $1.4 billion and $2.8 billion. This sustained influx of funds reflects institutional investors’ strong confidence in Bitcoin spot ETFs.

The turning point came at the end of the year. Starting in November, there was a noticeable shift with a net outflow of $3.1564 billion, and in December, outflows continued with $1.6378 billion. The two-month total outflow approached $4.8 billion, forming a stark contrast to the earlier strong performance. This withdrawal of funds may indicate market profit-taking or increased risk caution at year-end.

Interestingly, despite this year-end adjustment, the total net inflow for the year still remained above $20 billion, indicating that Bitcoin spot ETFs, as an important tool for institutional allocation, still have solid fundamental support. However, this phase of capital flow changes also warrants ongoing attention from investors regarding future trends.

In the first ten months, a staggering 22.9 billion was absorbed, and then they turned around and ran at the end of the year. The institutions are quite slick with this move. Can't keep up with the FOMO at the beginning of the year, and now everyone is cutting losses? That's hilarious. Starting to run away in November—this is something worth pondering. What signals are they seeing? 229 billion sounds like a lot, but in just two months, 5 billion was lost. That contrast is quite stark. Institutions are not fools; there must be a reason they are pulling out at the end of the year. I just want to know what they saw.

Ten months of inflow totaling 22.9 billion, but starting to dump at the end of the year? This rhythm is indeed a bit interesting. Are the institutions playing double standards or is there some insider info? 22.9 billion sounds pretty impressive, but the subsequent outflow of 4.8 billion feels a bit awkward. The wave of escape at the end of the year has me a bit panicked. Is the market about to reverse? Crazy inflows earlier and crazy outflows later—this operation is really hard to understand. 45 billion in January just took off; why did December suddenly cool down? Does anyone know what's going on? This data is wow. The inflows were fierce early on, and then they started to run at the end of the year. Since the outflow of 31 billion in November, I knew something was wrong.

The outflow at the end of the year is really intense, it feels like institutions are locking in profits. In November alone, 3.1 billion was withdrawn, the pace is a bit rapid. They attracted so much capital earlier, then suddenly shifted at the end of the year... the pattern feels a bit familiar. 229 billion looks large, but in the last two months, 4.8 billion was pulled back, is that all the net profit? Major players are fleeing, retail investors should be alert. Stable inflows in the first ten months, then a plunge at year-end—could this be a sign that institutions are cutting the leeks? The real profit-makers are the ones who run away early.

In the first 10 months, attracting 22.9 billion, with 4.8 billion flowing out in the last two months of the year... This wave of institutions really will run away.

The money-raising frenzy at the beginning of the year, turning into a withdrawal machine at the end of the year? This reversal is too quick. --- 2.29 billion sounds impressive, but by the end of the year, they only paid out 4.8 billion in two months... Are these institutions preparing for winter? --- Stable inflow in the first ten months, followed by frantic escape in the last two months. This move is quite decisive. --- I just want to know what kind of cryptocurrencies those institutions that ran away early are holding now... --- No matter how you look at these numbers, it seems like a safe end-of-year harvest. Who would still dare to take the risk? --- Full of confidence at the beginning of the year, rushing to run at the end... That's all there is to Bitcoin spot ETFs.

At the beginning of the year, it was fierce like a tiger; by the end of the year, it turned into a flow out. This is the true portrayal of institutional players. 229 billion sounds like a lot, but by the end of the year, they吐回48亿 in two months. Do they still have the nerve? In the first 10 months, there was疯狂进场, but starting in November, they began to跑路—typical of a pre-attack sell-off. The question is, someone is cashing out profits at the end of the year, and the next round of bleeding is still early. BTC spot ETF has gone from a血鬼 to a放血鬼; the capital situation is cooling down, brother. In January, they暴走 over 40 billion; in November, they反手就跑—this rhythm is well grasped. This wave of操作 by the institutions is truly不讲武德. The流出 at the end of the year was预感到早, the capital situation is just like this.
