The ARK 21Shares Bitcoin ETF Ben of Int, trading under ticker ARKB, attracted $27.04 million in new capital on January 15, 2026, underscoring persistent investor appetite for spot Bitcoin exposure even as the underlying asset struggles. The latest inflow, equal to roughly 0.72% of the fund’s $3.76 billion in assets under management (AUM), signals that a meaningful slice of capital is still rotating into the product rather than heading for the sidelines.
For a maturing Bitcoin ETF market, a near 1% swing in AUM in a single session is notable. It suggests that institutional and sophisticated retail investors are using the recent weakness in Bitcoin as an opportunity to build positions via regulated exchange-traded products, rather than retreating to cash. The steady growth in AUM also helps tighten spreads and deepen liquidity, reinforcing ARKB’s position among the more actively used Bitcoin ETF options.
The related asset, BTC-USD, is currently trading at $95,571.98, down about 11.9% over the past three months, reflecting a corrective phase after prior gains and ongoing macro uncertainty. Despite that medium-term pullback, the 1-day technical signal on Bitcoin screens as a Buy, hinting at short-term momentum turning more constructive. That combination—recent weakness but improving near-term signals—may be precisely what is drawing opportunistic inflows into ARKB as investors attempt to time a rebound.
