Fact Check
The assessment is primarily based on the strength and direct relevance of the evidence provided by Farside Investors. This source is a specialized data feed with the sole purpose of tracking the daily net flows for US Bitcoin Spot ETFs, making it the most authoritative and reliable source for this specific claim. Its authority is high (0.90) and its relevance is perfect (1.00).There is one piece of directly conflicting evidence from a Bitget News article, which claims there was a $224 million *inflow* on the same day. However, this source has significantly lower authority (0.60) and is a secondary source, as it cites a social media post. In a direct conflict between a specialized, high-authority data provider and a lower-authority news report citing social media, the data provider is substantially more credible.All other provided sources are either irrelevant to the specific claim—discussing different assets (Solana), different metrics (miner production, corporate treasuries), or providing general definitions (Investopedia)—or do not contain data for the specified date. Therefore, the conclusion is drawn by weighing the single, high-quality supporting source against the single, lower-quality contradictory source. The evidence strongly favors the data from Farside Investors, making the original statement likely true.

Summary

Spot Bitcoin ETFs in the United States attracted more than $1.2 billion in inflows during the first two trading days of 2026, according to Bloomberg’s Eric Balchunas. This early surge, if sustained, could lead to annualized inflows of about $150 billion, far exceeding the $21 billion recorded in 2025. Nearly all major funds saw gains, with BlackRock’s IBIT continuing to lead, while the WisdomTree Bitcoin Fund lagged. Monday’s $697 million net inflow was the largest single-day intake in three months, coinciding with Bitcoin holding above $90,000. Morgan Stanley filed with the SEC to launch spot Bitcoin and Solana ETFs, adding to institutional momentum. Analysts note that strong ETF demand could reduce available Bitcoin supply for traders.
