US spot Bitcoin ETFs posted $1.42 billion in net inflows last week, their strongest weekly performance since last October. The period covered January 13 to January 17. On January 13 alone, the products drew $753 million, the highest single-day total since October 7, reversing a two-month stretch of net outflows.
$753 million entered in a single day
The rebound came as Bitcoin prices moved higher. BTC climbed from about $90,500 at the start of the week to near $97,000 by the weekend. Among individual funds, BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust, or IBIT, remained the market leader. On January 2, the first trading day of 2026, IBIT took in about $287 million. Fidelity’s FBTC followed with $88 million, while Bitwise’s BITB added $41.5 million.
The inflow streak followed two months of withdrawals
The shift stands out against the pattern seen late last year. US spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded $3.48 billion in net outflows in November, followed by another $1.09 billion in December. That back-to-back decline had raised questions about whether institutional money was stepping away from the sector.
The source cited analysts who said the year-end withdrawals looked more like technical positioning than a directional bearish call. They pointed to tax-loss harvesting and year-end balance sheet adjustments by institutional funds. With the new year underway, capital returned quickly, suggesting long-term allocation plans had not materially changed.
Strong opening to 2026, with IBIT still in front
Early January figures also show the latest jump was not an isolated event. Spot Bitcoin ETFs brought in $471 million on January 2. On January 3, US crypto ETFs as a group attracted nearly $670 million. By January 13, daily inflows had climbed to $753 million. Taken together, those numbers point to firm institutional demand at the start of 2026.
According to the source material, IBIT remains the largest spot Bitcoin ETF in the US market, with more than $56 billion in assets under management and over 51% market share. Since its launch approval in January 2024, the fund has raised more than $50 billion.
