2026 Bitcoin ETF Inflows: $1.2 Billion Surge Signals Return of Institutional Giants
2026 Bitcoin ETF inflows hit a three-month high with $1.2B entering the market in two days. Morgan Stanley's new filing signals renewed institutional demand.
Institutional whales are making a massive comeback. U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded a staggering $697.2 million in net inflows on Monday, January 5, the largest single-day haul since last October. According to Glassnode and Farside data, this surge pushed the two-day total for 2026 to approximately $1.2 billion.
The Impact of 2026 Bitcoin ETF Inflows on Market Prices
The aggressive buying has directly influenced prices. Bitcoin (BTC) jumped nearly 7% in the first days of the year, climbing from $87,000 to just under $94,000. Analysts note that this shift back into positive territory follows a period of outflows that historically aligns with market bottoms, suggesting that the 'capitulation' phase has likely ended.
