Bitcoin ETFs Pull In $2.3 Billion for the Week as BTC Holds Above $115,000

Analysts say automatic ETF allocations are reshaping flows in ways that can mute the Fed’s market signals.

Overview

  • Spot bitcoin ETFs logged roughly $2.32 billion in net inflows across Sept. 8–12, reversing early-month outflows with five straight positive sessions.
  • Friday, Sept. 12, saw about $642 million in net buying led by Fidelity’s FBTC (~$315 million) and BlackRock’s IBIT (~$265 million), with ARK’s ARKB and Bitwise’s BITB also attracting capital.
  • Bitcoin traded near $116,000 and maintained levels above $115,000 as inflows coincided with steadier price action and contained intraday swings.
  • U.S.-listed ETFs overall reached a record $12.19 trillion in assets at August’s close, and U.S. spot bitcoin and ether ETFs now manage more than $120 billion combined, led by IBIT and FBTC.
  • Researchers cited by Bloomberg highlight recurring 401(k), target-date, and model-portfolio contributions into ETFs that may dampen markets’ responsiveness to Federal Reserve policy cues.
