Bitcoin ETFs account for about 75% of new investments — CryptoQuant
An estimated 75% of new Bitcoin (BTC) investments come from the 10 spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) that were approved in the United States on Jan. 11.
In the past two weeks, over three-quarters of new Bitcoin investments originated from spot Bitcoin ETFs, excluding Grayscale’s Bitcoin Trust (GBTC) ETF, according to a Feb.14 report by on-chain data analytics firm CryptoQuant.
“We estimate over 75% of new investment into Bitcoin are coming from these ETFs. Moreover, investment from these ETFs has increased to 2% of the total historical investment in Bitcoin in just one month as measured by the realized market capitalization,” the report said.

Bitcoin reached a two-year high of $51,000 on Feb. 14, propelling its market capitalization above $1 trillion for the first time since November 2021.

“The next target for Bitcoin stands at $56,000 from a network valuation perspective. Valuation indicators are not flashing risks of a meaningful price correction.”
However, Bitcoin price faces significant resistance around $52,000 , due to a “brick wall of asks on Bitfinex,” up to the $52,300 mark, according to an X post on Feb. 14 by on-chain analyst Cole Garner.
