US-listed spot Bitcoin ETFs posted their largest inflows of 2026 so far, drawing more than $1.7 billion over a three-day stretch. The surge included a single-day inflow of roughly $844 million, according to industry data, reversing outflows seen earlier in January.
The renewed demand coincided with Bitcoin climbing above $97,000, its highest level in nearly two months. BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust led daily inflows, followed by products from Fidelity, ARK Invest, and Bitwise. January inflows now total about $1.5 billion across nine trading sessions, signaling a shift in near-term positioning.
The inflows suggest improving institutional sentiment as price momentum stabilizes. Bitcoin ETFs have increasingly acted as a barometer for traditional investor exposure to crypto markets, with flows responding closely to price trends, volatility, and broader risk appetite.
