The Bitwise Bitcoin ETF Trust’s BITB fund attracted fresh capital on January 9, 2026, logging positive net inflows of $2,955,780 even as its underlying asset continues to trade well below recent highs. The latest flow represents roughly 0.08% of the ETF’s current assets under management, which stand at about $3.53 billion, a modest but notable vote of confidence amid renewed volatility in the crypto market.
The underlying asset, BTC-USD, is currently changing hands at $90,520.02, down about 21.1% over the past three months. Yet, short-term technicals have flipped more constructive, with a 1-day signal registering as Buy. That divergence—weak medium-term performance alongside improving near-term momentum—helps explain why some investors appear willing to add exposure through BITB on perceived weakness.
Strategically, the inflow into BITB, while small as a share of total AUM, suggests that long-term allocators are using the recent drawdown in bitcoin to build or average into positions, rather than capitulate. If the short-term “Buy” signal in BTC-USD proves durable, these incremental flows could foreshadow a broader shift in sentiment back toward risk-on positioning in spot bitcoin ETFs.
