The ARK 21Shares Bitcoin ETF Ben of Int, trading under ticker ARKB, ended 2025 on a strong note, absorbing $109.56 million in net inflows on December 31, 2025. The single-day move represents roughly 3.22% of its latest assets under management, which stand at about $3.40 billion, underscoring robust investor appetite even as Bitcoin prices remain well below recent peaks.
The related asset, BTC-USD, is currently trading at $89,390.02, down around 27.25% over the past three months as the broader crypto market has struggled with risk-off sentiment and profit-taking after earlier highs. Despite this sharp pullback, the 1-day technical signal on Bitcoin flashes a bullish tone, with a reading of Buy, suggesting short-term momentum traders see scope for a rebound.
That combination—heavy ETF inflows into ARKB against a backdrop of steep three-month losses in Bitcoin—points to investors using the recent drawdown as a strategic entry point rather than an exit signal. The scale of the December 31 inflow, relative to ARKB’s overall AUM, indicates that institutional and sophisticated retail allocators may be leaning into the weakness, betting that Bitcoin’s long-term adoption story outweighs near-term volatility and macro uncertainty.
