Bitcoin ETFs Erase Nearly All Early-2026 Inflows as Risk Appetite Cools

Spot Bitcoin ETFs saw a sharp reversal in momentum, recording $1.128 billion in net outflows over three consecutive trading days (January 6-8, 2026), which nearly erased the $1.17 billion in net inflows from the first two trading days of the year. This significant reversal, noted by analysts as evidence of cooling risk appetite, saw major funds like BlackRock's IBIT and Fidelity's fund experience substantial outflows, while Ethereum ETFs also saw net outflows. In contrast, several altcoin ETFs, including XRP and Solana, continued to attract fresh capital. The broader market is awaiting a critical US Supreme Court decision on former President Trump's tariffs, which could inject volatility but potentially signal a market bottom if tariffs are canceled, leading to improved earnings expectations for risk assets.
