U.S. Bitcoin ETFs See Strongest Inflows in Over a Month as BTC Dominance Hits 60%
On December 18, 2025, U.S. spot bitcoin ETFs recorded net inflows of $457.3 million, marking the strongest daily intake since November 11. The Fidelity Wise Origin Bitcoin Fund (FBTC) attracted $391.5 million, constituting one of its top-five inflow days. Meanwhile, BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) saw inflows of $111.2 million.
Bitcoin dominance rose to 60%, its highest level since November 14, when bitcoin traded near $100,000. On the same day, bitcoin traded around $87,000 after rallying to almost $90,000 intraday before reversing to below $86,000. Bitcoin’s implied volatility (BVIV) was around 50, a historically low level.
Upcoming macroeconomic events, including an expected Bank of England rate cut to 3.75%, the European Central Bank holding rates at 2.15%, and inflation figures from the US and Japan, could lead to increased volatility in the market.
