US Crypto ETFs Draw $670 Million in Inflows on First Trading Day of 2026

US spot crypto exchange-traded funds (ETFs) experienced a significant surge on the first trading day of 2026, drawing nearly $670 million in net inflows, which suggests a renewed investor appetite following a slow end to 2025, likely after tax-loss harvesting activity. Spot Bitcoin ETFs led this influx, securing $471 million, with BlackRock’s IBIT capturing $287 million. The total inflow for Bitcoin ETFs was the second-highest daily figure since November 11. Furthermore, Ethereum funds saw strong performance, reporting $174 million in inflows, led by the Grayscale Ethereum Trust (ETHE). Smaller asset ETFs also saw gains, with XRP and Solana funds drawing $13.59 million and $8.53 million, respectively. This coordinated positive performance across Bitcoin, Ethereum, and altcoin ETFs is viewed by analysts as a potential trend reversal, indicating US investors are increasing their exposure to the crypto sector at the start of the new fiscal year.
