Bitcoin ETFs Surge With $754 Million Inflow as Crypto ETFs Register Broad Gains

U.S. spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) attracted a significant $754 million in net inflows on January 13, 2026, marking the largest daily capital injection for these funds in months and highlighting renewed confidence among institutional investors in regulated crypto products.

The inflow was broadly distributed across multiple issuers, indicating diversified demand rather than concentration in a single product. Fidelity’s FBTC led the gains with roughly $351 million, followed by Bitwise’s BITB and BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) with significant contributions of about $159 million and $126 million, respectively. Other funds from Ark Invest, Grayscale, and VanEck also posted net positive flows.

Broad Strength Across Crypto ETFs

Spot Bitcoin ETFs were not the only beneficiaries of market interest. Other crypto ETFs also registered broad inflows, with spot Ethereum funds adding capital and smaller altcoin-linked products seeing positive albeit more modest flows. This collective strength reflects an expanding institutional appetite for regulated crypto exposure.

Institutional Demand Returns

This surge in ETF flows aligns with other recent crypto market momentum, where Bitcoin has climbed above key price levels near $95,000 as macroeconomic uncertainty eased. Positive inflation data and expectations of supportive policy have helped draw capital back into risk assets, especially regulated investment vehicles such as ETFs.

For Bitcoin specifically, the inflows reinforce its growing role as an institutional asset, as conservative and sophisticated investors increasingly choose ETF structures to gain exposure without directly holding the underlying asset. ETF specialists have highlighted that large inflows often signal stronger conviction about long-term price appreciation and reduced volatility risk.

What This Means for Crypto Markets

The renewed inflows into Bitcoin and broader crypto ETFs could signal a shift in market sentiment after a period of mixed flows late last year. While ETFs are only one facet of the larger crypto ecosystem, they remain one of the most transparent indicators of institutional interest. Sustained inflows of this scale could support future price stability and attract further capital if confidence persists.
