U.S. spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) snapped a seven-day outflow streak on Tuesday, recording $355 million in net inflows as analysts pointed to early signs of improving global liquidity and renewed institutional appetite.The rebound follows a difficult stretch for Bitcoin ETFs, which had seen $1.12 billion in cumulative outflows over the previous seven trading sessions amid falling prices, year-end positioning, and thin holiday liquidity.BlackRock, ARK and Fidelity Lead ETF ReboundAccording to data from SoSoValue, BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) led the recovery with $143.75 million in inflows.

Crypto commentator Mister Crypto noted that global money supply indicators are “going vertical,” pointing to expanding liquidity across major economies.He also highlighted upcoming U.S. Treasury bill purchases by the Federal Reserve, noting that the Fed is set to inject $8.165 billion into markets this week — a move that could further ease financial conditions.Ether ETFs Turn Positive as XRP ETF Inflows ContinueThe positive momentum extended beyond Bitcoin.Spot Ether ETFs ended a four-day outflow streak on Tuesday, posting $67.8 million in net inflows, according to SoSoValue data.
