Spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds recorded a sharp rebound in investor interest on Wednesday, pulling in $457 million in net inflows, the strongest single-day intake in more than a month. <\/p>\n

The surge suggests institutional demand may be stabilising after a volatile stretch marked by alternating inflows and outflows through November and early December.<\/p>\n

Data from Farside Investors.<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Fidelity\u2019s Wise Origin Bitcoin Fund led the day\u2019s activity, attracting approximately $391 million in net inflows, accounting for the bulk of Wednesday\u2019s total. <\/p>\n

BlackRock\u2019s iShares Bitcoin Trust followed with around $111 million in net inflows, according to data from Farside Investors.<\/p>\n

Recovery after a choppy period<\/h2>\n

Wednesday\u2019s intake marked a notable reversal after weeks of uneven flows. <\/p>\n

Throughout November and early December, spot Bitcoin ETFs experienced a stop-start pattern, swinging between modest inflows and sharp daily outflows. <\/p>\n

The last time inflows exceeded $450 million was on Nov. 11, when the funds collectively drew about $524 million in a single session.<\/p>\n

The renewed buying comes as Bitcoin prices have stabilised following a sharp pullback from earlier highs. <\/p>\n

While the cryptocurrency surged earlier in the year, recent price action has reflected consolidation rather than a renewed expansion phase.<\/p>\n

Ethereum ETFs remain under pressure<\/h2>\n

In contrast to Bitcoin funds, spot Ethereum ETFs have continued to struggle with sustained capital outflows. <\/p>\n

Over the past five trading sessions, the sector has experienced a marked reversal in sentiment, including two consecutive days of heavy selling on Dec. 15 and 16, when combined net outflows exceeded $449 million.<\/p>\n

Even the largest products were not spared. BlackRock\u2019s iShares Ethereum Trust recorded a single-day outflow of $221.3 million on Dec. 16. <\/p>\n

Although the pace of selling slowed by Dec. 17, with net outflows narrowing to $22.4 million, flows across major issuers such as Fidelity and Grayscale remain negative, indicating waning institutional appetite as the year draws to a close.<\/p>\n

Bitcoin holds steady ahead of inflation data<\/h2>\n

Bitcoin traded in a narrow range on Thursday as investors adopted a cautious stance ahead of key US inflation data that could influence the Federal Reserve\u2019s interest-rate outlook. <\/p>\n

The world\u2019s largest cryptocurrency was last trading about 1% higher at $87,554.6.<\/p>\n

Despite earlier gains this year, Bitcoin has struggled to decisively reclaim the $90,000 level, reinforcing the view that the market is consolidating rather than embarking on another leg higher.<\/p>\n

Investor focus is now firmly on the release of the US consumer price index data for November. <\/p>\n

Economists expect the report to show an uptick in annual headline inflation, a development that could complicate the Fed\u2019s assessment of how much room remains for further monetary easing.<\/p>\n

Fed uncertainty weighs on risk appetite<\/h2>\n

Earlier in the week, delayed US labour market data painted a mixed picture. <\/p>\n

Nonfarm payrolls rebounded modestly in November after a sharp contraction in October, but the unemployment rate rose to its highest level in years. <\/p>\n

The conflicting signals have clouded expectations around the Fed\u2019s next policy steps and dampened conviction in the outlook for further rate cuts.<\/p>\n

Adding another layer of uncertainty, President Donald Trump has indicated that his preferred candidate for the next Federal Reserve chair would favour significantly lower interest rates. <\/p>\n

The remarks have fuelled debate about the future direction of US monetary policy, a key variable for risk assets such as cryptocurrencies.<\/p>\n
