Important points
- Bitcoin ETFs are seeing huge investment inflows, with $1.2 billion inflows in the first two days of 2026.
- If the current pace of inflows continues, the potential annualized investment rate could reach $150 billion.
Approximately $1.2 billion flowed into Spot Bitcoin ETFs in the first two trading days of 2026 as investor demand spread across multiple funds. If interest rates hold, that would mean about $150 billion in inflows a year, according to Bloomberg ETF analyst Eric Balchunas.
“If you can raise $22 billion when it’s raining, imagine when the sun is shining,” the expert wrote on X’s official account.
The surge in early 2026 marked a reversal from late 2025, when spot Bitcoin ETFs experienced consistent outflows.
Yesterday, BlackRock’s IBIT fund made about $372 million in profits, and Fidelity’s FBTC also saw heavy buying, bringing in $191 million. These strong inflows brought net inflows to the U.S. Spot Bitcoin ETF to approximately $697 million on the day, the highest level in nearly three months.
Spot Bitcoin ETFs hold actual Bitcoin and are traded on traditional stock exchanges, providing exposure to a regulated asset for investors who don’t want to manage their cryptocurrencies directly.
