ETF flows turn net positive again — what it means for supply

More BTC migrating into long-term custody via ETFs as halving effects compound.

After a choppy few weeks, spot ETF flows have turned net positive for the third straight day. On their own, three sessions don’t make a trend — but they matter when issuance is already tight post-halving.

Every BTC that disappears into an ETF wrapper is one more coin that has to be pried out of long-term hands during the next impulse move. For miners, it’s a reminder that the marginal buyer increasingly sits inside legacy rails.

Why miners should care about ETF plumbing

  • ETF demand can outstrip fresh issuance, especially right after a halving.
  • Flows shape funding conditions for public miners and hosting companies.
  • Strong ETF demand tends to tighten the floor under hash-price in BTC terms.

Watching flows is not about trading around them. It’s about understanding how quickly liquid supply disappears when the traditional asset-management complex decides it wants exposure.
