Bitcoin traded near $82,900 on Saturday after U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs took in $21.1 million on Friday, the first inflow session since 6 October. The Block, citing SoSoValue, put the Saturday morning price near $82,900 and the week's net flow at a $681.1 million outflow. That ended three straight inflow weeks and was the worst week since the week ending 26 June, when the funds shed $1.79 billion. Wednesday was most of the damage, at $487.1 million on that SoSoValue count. Farside Investors put the same Wednesday at $484.9 million and Friday at $21.1 million. The Friday totals match to one decimal place. Bitcoin.com, also citing SoSoValue, printed Friday at $21.13 million.

Friday's inflow did not repair the week

BlackRock's IBIT led Friday with $22.4 million on the Farside table and $22.38 million on the SoSoValue reading. VanEck's HODL added about $2.3 million. Fidelity's FBTC was the offset, at about $3.6 million of outflows. Trading value fell to $1.44 billion, and net assets closed at $105.84 billion. Cumulative inflows since launch stand at $57.11 billion. Inflows for 2026 fell to $494.1 million from $1.18 billion a week earlier. Wednesday and Thursday together were about $731 million of redemptions ($487.1 million plus $244.1 million). A $21 million inflow is roughly 3% of that two-day exit. Glassnode, as reported by Bitcoin.com, said existing holders are doing much of the work in the current range, while new money from ETFs, stablecoins, and corporate treasuries has slowed. That is a description of flows, not a price target. A second green session would be the test. One quiet Friday is not.
