Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs attracted more than 500 million USD from 8–12/12, but the prices of BTC and ETH remained almost flat, indicating that long-term capital has not yet translated into short-term momentum.
Stable capital flow through ETFs reflects strategic allocation following the Fed's rate cut decision that the market had priced in; investors are cautious and prioritize accumulation.
MAIN CONTENT
ETF spot Bitcoin and Ethereum netted more than 500 million USD from 8–12/12, but the prices remained almost flat.
BTC is stuck under the range of 92,000–94,000 USD; risk sentiment is cautious following the Fed's actions.
Net assets: Bitcoin ~118.3 billion USD; Ethereum ~19.4 billion USD, with slower price responses than capital flows.
ETFs continue to attract capital, prices do not rise
In the week of December 8–12, Bitcoin and Ethereum spot ETFs recorded a net inflow of over 500 million USD, but price volatility remained narrow, lacking significant breakthroughs.
Between December 8–12, the spot ETFs of the two assets pulled in over 500 million USD. Bitcoin ETFs recorded a net of 287 million USD, led by BlackRock's IBIT. Ethereum ETFs netted 209 million USD, with ETHA (BlackRock) and FETH (Fidelity) leading demand.
BTC is hovering around 89.6 thousand USD, down 2.16% for the week; market cap is approximately 1.78 trillion USD. ETH is around 3,127 USD, down 0.23% for the week; market cap is about 377 billion USD. The market absorbs ETF capital in the context of decreasing volatility.
On BingX, traders can track funding rates, OI, and derivative liquidation data to measure leverage levels; when OI increases while spot prices remain quiet, the risk of a squeeze often increases, explaining the phenomenon of 'squeeze amplitude' despite ETF net buying.
Prices are flat due to technical resistance and macro expectations already being reflected.
The Fed's rate cut was already priced in; BTC faces resistance at 92,000–94,000 USD, and cautious risk appetite keeps prices within range.
The market maintains accumulation, balanced trading. BTC is anchored near 90,000 USD for the week, ETH is trading within the range of 3,100–3,200 USD. ETF capital flows lean towards long-term allocations, reducing the impact of 'news momentum' on short-term prices. (Reference: Farside Investors, CoinMarketCap)
ETFs 2025: Accumulated capital flows, slow price responses
Net assets continue to expand: Bitcoin ~118.3 billion USD; Ethereum ~19.4 billion USD, while prices show little immediate response.
Despite weeks of sideways or slight declines in price, ETFs continued to grow steadily in net assets, reflecting persistent capital commitment. The delay between capital flows and prices is becoming clearer, as price responses are no longer an 'immediate loop' of demand. (Reference: SoSoValue)
If inflows remain steady and volatility continues to be low, the next shift could come unexpectedly, after ownership has quietly changed hands.
Conclusion
Strong ETF capital flows but flat prices indicate a quiet redistribution phase; when supply-demand balance is disrupted, large volatility can come quickly and suddenly.
Over 500 million USD flowed into Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs last week, with price reactions being muted.
When ownership shifts quietly, BTC/ETH breakouts often come unexpectedly.
