The ARK 21Shares Bitcoin ETF Ben of Int, trading under ticker ARKB, attracted fresh capital even as its underlying asset remains under pressure. On January 05, 2026, the spot Bitcoin ETF logged an estimated $6.71 million in net inflows, a small but notable addition to its roughly $3.40 billion in assets under management (AUM). The move represents about 0.20% of AUM, suggesting a measured but steady vote of confidence from investors.
The related asset, BTC-USD, is currently trading around $93,425.34, leaving it down roughly 25.3% over the past three months. Despite that sizable drawdown, near-term trading signals remain cautious rather than capitulatory, with a 1-day technical stance of Hold. The combination of soft price action and incremental ETF inflows hints that some market participants view the recent weakness as an opportunity to accumulate exposure at lower levels rather than a sign of structural deterioration.
For ARKB, the latest flow underscores the ETF’s role as an institutional and retail gateway into Bitcoin: while the inflow is modest relative to total AUM, it comes against the backdrop of heightened volatility and reinforces the idea that allocators are more inclined to rebalance than retreat outright. If Bitcoin stabilizes or reverses its three-month slide, such steady inflows could position the fund for a swift recovery in headline assets under management.
