Spot Bitcoin ETFs in the US began 2026 with $1.2 billion in inflows over two days, suggesting strong investor demand and potential for record annual growth.
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.
