Overview

Roughly $1.2 billion flowed into spot Bitcoin ETFs over the first two trading days of 2026, as investor demand spread across several funds. According to Bloomberg ETF analyst Eric Balchunas, that rate would translate into about $150 billion in inflows over a full year if sustained.

Key Highlights

Strong Inflows:

  • BlackRock’s IBIT fund netted about $372 million
  • Fidelity’s FBTC attracted $191 million
  • Total US spot Bitcoin ETF net flows reached roughly $697 million for the day, the highest level in nearly three months

Market Context: The early 2026 surge marked a reversal from late 2025, when spot Bitcoin ETFs experienced consistent outflows. As one analyst noted, if ETFs can attract $22 billion during challenging conditions, the potential during bullish markets could be significantly higher.

What Are Spot Bitcoin ETFs?

Spot Bitcoin ETFs hold actual Bitcoin and trade on traditional stock exchanges, offering regulated exposure to the asset for investors who may not want to custody crypto directly.

1.2 billion flowed in just two days? This number seems a bit inflated. The real institutions probably haven't started rushing in yet.
