Crypto Capital Inflows Drop $9B as Bitcoin Holds Near $115K

Bitcoin and Ethereum inflows declined from $60.62B to $59.84B between September 5 and September 12.

Bitcoin spot ETFs saw $642M in net inflows over five days, while Ethereum ETFs added $406M across four days.

The Altcoin Index reached 84/100, with market cap at $4.25T and liquidations totaling $360M in a single day.

Capital inflows into digital assets dropped sharply last week, cutting $9 billion from Bitcoin and Ethereum’s cumulative accumulation. Analyst Ali noted the decline, highlighting a shift after months of steady inflows that fueled Bitcoin’s rally toward $120,000 in July. Data from the Aggregate Market Realized Value Net Position Change chart showed slowing momentum, even as Bitcoin remains above $110,000.

Bitcoin Price Holds Gains Despite Cooling Inflows

The chart shows Bitcoin rising from about $77,000 in March 2025 to a peak above $120,000 by late July. However, since early September, the price has moderated between $110,000 and $116,000

This stability comes as BTC and ETH cumulative inflows slipped from $60.62 billion on September 5 to $59.84 billion by September 12. The slowdown reflects reduced accumulation and possible profit-taking after mid-year highs.

Stablecoin positions also shifted during this period. Balances moved from about $12.5 billion on September 5 to $11.07 billion by September 12. This modest increase indicates a return of liquidity to stablecoins, often suggesting cautious positioning as markets await clarity. The combined trend shows less aggressive inflows compared to earlier months, even while price levels remain elevated.

ETF Inflows Counterbalance On-Chain Trends

While capital flows slowed on-chain, spot exchange-traded funds continued to attract new investment. According to SosoValue, Bitcoin spot ETFs recorded $642 million in net inflows across five straight days. Ethereum ETFs also gained traction, pulling $406 million over four consecutive sessions. These consistent inflows contrast with cooling accumulation onchain, showing that institutional products are drawing demand.

This divergence shows the growing role of ETFs in channeling capital into crypto markets. Despite reduced inflows onchain, sustained ETF demand provides underlying support, helping Bitcoin and Ethereum stabilize near key levels.

Altcoins Gain and Liquidity Shifts

Beyond Bitcoin and Ethereum, altcoins also have stronger activity. According to CryptoRank, the Altcoin Index climbed to 84 out of 100, suggesting notable strength compared to earlier months. The move suggests increased rotation of capital into alternative assets, supported by liquidity expectations ahead of the Federal Reserve’s September 17 decision.

Total market capitalization is at $4.25 trillion, with daily liquidations reaching $360 million. Fear and Greed Index levels moved from 57 into greed levels, showing sentiment tilted toward further activity.
