Spot Bitcoin ETFs in the US kicked off 2026 with a surge in demand, pulling in roughly $471 million in fresh capital in the opening trading session.
Renewed appetite for Bitcoin exposure helped reverse the negative trend seen on December 31, when the ETF group shed $348 million.
On Friday, the sector saw a complete turnaround with no funds posting losses, led by BlackRock’s IBIT with inflows of approximately $287 million. Funds managed by Fidelity and Bitwise also reported major gains.
The rebound came amid a crypto market recovery, with Bitcoin climbing above $90,000, while Ethereum surged past $3,100. In the past 24 hours, the total crypto market capitalization rose approximately 2% to $3.1 trillion.
Ethereum ETFs also bounced back. After a $72 million outflow on the final day of 2025, inflows resumed as spot Ethereum ETFs recorded around $174 million in fresh capital, largely driven by funds managed by Grayscale and BlackRock.

471 million? To be honest, that number is a bit inflated; the real whales are still watching and observing.

It's already 2026, and people are still rushing for spot ETF. Institutions really have too much idle money.

Starting the new year so aggressively, 471 million poured in, big institutions are really not playing around.
