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.

BTC-1,36%
ETH0,83%

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.
