US Crypto ETFs Record $670 Million In Inflows On First Trading Day Of 2026

US spot cryptocurrency ETFs recorded $669 million in combined inflows on January 2, reversing a brutal year-end selloff.

Bitcoin (BTC) products dominated with $471 million in new capital while Ethereum (BTC) funds added $174 million.

The surge marked the second-highest daily inflow since November 11 and followed a record $4.57 billion in outflows across November and December.

BlackRock's iShares Bitcoin Trust captured approximately $287 million, leading all products.

What Happened

Fidelity's Bitcoin fund attracted $88 million while Bitwise's product recorded $41.5 million in inflows.

Grayscale's Bitcoin Trust and Franklin Templeton's fund registered $15 million and $13 million respectively.

Ethereum products showed strength across multiple issuers, with Grayscale's main trust leading at $53.69 million.

Why It Matters

The inflows represent a sharp reversal from the worst two-month stretch on record for crypto ETFs.

Bitcoin ETFs experienced $4.57 billion in combined outflows during November and December, coinciding with a 20% decline in Bitcoin's price.

December 31 alone saw $348.1 million in Bitcoin ETF outflows, led by BlackRock, Fidelity, and Ark & 21Shares funds.

Ethereum ETFs lost over $2 billion during the same period before Thursday's reversal.

The coordinated buying across Bitcoin, Ethereum, and altcoin products suggests institutional investors are reallocating capital after tax-loss harvesting.

Data from Farside Investors confirmed the figures represent the strongest Bitcoin ETF inflow since November 11 and largest Ethereum inflow since December 9.
