Spot Bitcoin ETF attracts $167 million in a single day, institutions rebalance holdings in XRP and Solana

On February 11, it was reported that the US spot Bitcoin ETF recorded net capital inflows for the third consecutive trading day, attracting approximately $167 million on Tuesday. The total inflow for this week has reached $311.6 million, nearly offsetting last week's outflow of $318 million. Previously, these products experienced three consecutive weeks of negative inflows, with total outflows exceeding $3 billion. Although Bitcoin's price has fallen about 13% over the past seven days and briefly dropped below $68,000, capital movement indicates that there has been no large-scale withdrawal by institutions. Several analysts pointed out that recent selling pressure has significantly eased, and the ETF capital curve shows signs of stabilization, with market sentiment gradually recovering.
