VanEck’s spot bitcoin vehicle, the VanEck Bitcoin Trust Shs of Benef Interest, drew fresh investor money this week, with the HODL ETF recording $8,275,890 in net inflows on January 15, 2026. The new capital lifts the fund’s assets under management to $1,519,207,270, with the latest flow representing roughly 0.54% of AUM—a meaningful allocation swing in a single day for a single-asset crypto product.
The move suggests that investors are leaning back into bitcoin exposure after a choppy quarter, using HODL as a regulated gateway rather than holding coins directly. While the flow is modest relative to total assets, it underscores ongoing institutional and retail interest in listed bitcoin products, even as price momentum has cooled.
The related asset, BTC-USD, is currently trading around $95,249.92, down about 11.24% over the past three months as the world’s largest cryptocurrency has struggled to sustain its previous highs amid shifting macro expectations and rotating risk sentiment. Despite the medium-term pullback, the short-term trading picture is more constructive, with a 1-day technical signal flashing Buy, hinting that near-term momentum traders and dip buyers see scope for a rebound.
Against that backdrop, the latest inflow into HODL appears to reflect a growing cohort of investors treating bitcoin’s recent weakness as an opportunity rather than a warning sign, positioning through an ETF structure that offers stock-market liquidity and custody convenience.
