Briefings
The provided evidence explains that US spot Bitcoin ETF flows are calculated as net additions minus withdrawals, excluding all other trading activity and asset value changes. It explicitly states that these flows alone cannot explain Bitcoin's price movements, indicating a significant limitation in using this metric for price prediction.
Key points
- US spot Bitcoin ETF flows are defined as net additions to funds minus withdrawals, excluding all other trading activity and changes in asset value.
- These flows cannot, by themselves, explain Bitcoin's price movements.

The article discusses how to interpret US spot Bitcoin ETF flows, noting that while they measure net additions, they do not capture the full picture of Bitcoin's market dynamics.
Limitations
The evidence is limited to the definition of flows as net additions minus withdrawals and explicitly states they cannot explain Bitcoin's price. No specific dates, numbers, or named actors are provided in the source text.
