Bitcoin ETFs Hit $900 Million Inflows for Two Consecutive Days for the First Time Ever

• Spot Bitcoin funds saw nearly $1 billion in inflows on January 6th, 2025, led by Fidelity and BlackRock ETFs
• Nasdaq ISE proposed raising BlackRock’s IBIT options contracts limit to 250,000 to enhance market liquidity and risk management
• The SEC has 45 days to decide on this significant increase in contract limits

Spot Bitcoin funds have gotten back to the positive side after a short period of draught in 2025’s first year. On January 6th, all combined exchange-traded funds collectively amassed nearly $1 billion. 

In total, BTC ETFs accumulated $978 million in inflows, marking its highest inflow day since November 21st. Interestingly, this was the second consecutive trading day where Bitcoin ETFs have reached over $900 million—a feat never before seen in the young spot bitcoin fund market. 

Fidelity (FBTC) led the party with inflows of $370.2 million, second by Blackrock (IBIT) with $209.1 million in BTC acquisitions. On this date, all ETFs registered inflows, with Ark (ARKB) having the third-highest income at $152.9 million. 

Nasdaq ISE Looking To Raise Blackrock Bitcoin ETFs Contracts

Just yesterday, Nasdaq ISE—an options exchange part of the Nasdaq Options suite of exchange—recently filed with the SEC, requesting a significant boost to Blackrock’s (IBIT) contract limits. 

The proposal states that due to the incredible volume and market capitalization increase seen in the ETF market, particularly for IBIT, the current 25,000 contracts limit should also be raised. This limit refers to the total number of IBIT contracts investors can hold at any given time.

Furthermore, the filing argues that a limit raise of 900% would benefit the market, arguing the limit to be 250,000 contracts. 

A 250,000 contract limit would theoretically represent around 2.8% of the IBIT’s shares currently held by shareholders. In comparison, the current 25,000 cap represents only 0.289% percentage of all the fund’s outstanding shares. 

By raising the limit, Nasdaq ISE argues that the measure would not only improve market liquidity but also enable better risk management for investors. The Securities and Exchange Commission now has 45 days to decide whether to raise or maintain IBIT’s contract limits.
