VanEck Bitcoin Trust Shs of Benef Interest’s HODL ETF drew $1.95 million in new money on February 17, 2026, extending a cautious accumulation trend even as the underlying crypto wobbles. The inflow is modest against the fund’s $1.09 billion in assets under management, affecting roughly 0.18% of AUM but signaling steady demand.
The related asset, BTC-USD, is currently trading at $66,381.63 after a bruising three months that left it down about 23.57%, underscoring the volatility ETF investors are trying to harness. Short-term momentum remains weak, with a 1-day technical signal of Sell, yet flows into HODL suggest some investors see the drawdown as a longer-term entry point rather than a reason to exit.
