Bitcoin ETFs Roar Into 2026 With Record-Breaking Inflows
-

US spot Bitcoin ETFs have started 2026 with exceptional momentum, pulling in more than $1.2 billion in just the first two trading days. Eric Balchunas described the pace as “coming into 2026 like a lion,” noting that nearly every fund saw inflows during the opening sessions.
If this rate were sustained, annual inflows could reach $150 billion—roughly six times the total seen in 2025. The early surge suggests renewed investor confidence following year-end volatility and reinforces the growing role of ETFs as a primary access point for Bitcoin exposure.
