Spot bitcoin ETFs record $355 million net inflows, ending 7-day negative streak
U.S. spot bitcoin exchange-traded funds posted net inflows on Tuesday, snapping a seven-day streak of outflows.
According to data from SoSoValue, the bitcoin ETFs recorded a combined $355 million in daily net inflows across six funds on Tuesday.
BlackRock's IBIT, the largest spot bitcoin ETF in terms of net assets, recorded $143.8 million worth of net inflows, followed by $109.6 million into Ark & 21Shares' ARKB. Fidelity's FBTC attracted $78.6 million on Tuesday, while funds from Grayscale, Bitwise, and VanEck also reported positive flows.
"The net inflows signal a positive rebound from recent year-end tax-loss harvesting and de-risking pressures, highlighting resilient institutional demand amid holiday-thinned liquidity," said Nick Ruck, director of LVRG Research.
Spot Ethereum ETFs also ended a four-day streak of negative flows on Tuesday, reporting total daily net inflows of $67.84 million. Recently launched spot XRP, Solana and Dogecoin ETFs all reported positive flows for the day.
Outlook for 2026
"Crypto ETFs this year demonstrated remarkable maturation with tens of billions in cumulative inflows despite negative asset returns, driven by landmark developments for Ethereum, Solana, XRP, and others," Ruck said. "Looking to 2026, we anticipate accelerated institutional adoption, potential regulatory clarity, and inflows potentially exceeding previous highs as major platforms broaden access and new products serve a wider range of investors."
Markets widely expect the crypto ETF landscape to expand further in the year ahead, driven by potential regulatory developments that bring greater clarity to the crypto asset sector.
Issuers continue to file for a growing range of altcoin ETFs with unique structural features — Bitwise submitted applications for 11 new altcoin ETFs on Tuesday that invest both directly and indirectly in crypto.
"2026 will be the year crypto truly goes mainstream IMO," NovaDius Wealth President Nate Geraci wrote on X. "Full regulatory framework will be implemented. Rapidly growing institutional adoption. But most importantly, crypto stops being perceived as the product. It actually starts becoming the rails."
