IShares Bitcoin Trust Registered’s IBIT notched another day of net inflows on December 19, 2025, pulling in $32.76 million even as spot Bitcoin remains under pressure. The single-day haul represents roughly 0.05% of the fund’s $66.02 billion in assets under management (AUM), a modest but notable vote of confidence at a time when many traders are reassessing risk exposure.
The related asset, BTC-USD, is currently trading at $88,918.88, down about 23.2% over the past three months as the crypto market consolidates after earlier highs. Despite the renewed ETF demand, near-term momentum remains weak, with a one-day technical signal flashing Sell, underscoring short-term bearish sentiment.
Still, the continued inflows into IBIT suggest that longer-term allocators may be using the recent price drawdown as an entry point, reinforcing the narrative that regulated Bitcoin vehicles are becoming a preferred channel for institutional and retail exposure. The divergence between ETF flows and spot price action will be closely watched as investors weigh whether this reflects a contrarian accumulation phase or simply a tactical repositioning within crypto portfolios.
