US spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds took in $2.39 billion in net inflows last week, according to SoSoValue data cited by Cointelegraph. That is the largest weekly total this year. It is also the biggest week since the one ending Oct. 10, 2025, when net inflows reached $2.71 billion.
Friday alone added $134.5 million. Cointelegraph reported that daily inflows slowed as the week went on, while Bitcoin fell back from a level above $87,100. The article does not say why the price fell or why the daily flows got smaller.
Bitcoin was not the only fund type to draw money. Ether and XRP ETFs also received new capital during the same week, according to the report. The article gives no dollar figures for those funds.
For someone already holding a perpetual position on Bitget, Bybit, MEXC or OKX, this news changes nothing directly. ETF inflows are money moving into US-listed spot funds. They do not change trading fees on these exchanges, and the article says nothing about funding rates or perpetual market liquidity. Funding is still set by the balance of longs and shorts on each exchange. Whether last week's flows showed up there is not known from this report.
