U.S. spot cryptocurrency exchange-traded funds (ETFs) saw robust capital inflows during the trading week of January 12 to January 16 (Eastern Time), data from market analytics provider SoSoValue shows. Spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded a collective net inflow of about $1.42 billion, while Ethereum spot ETFs saw roughly $479 million flow into their products over the same period.
Bitcoin ETFs Led by BlackRock’s IBIT
According to SoSoValue figures, Bitcoin spot ETFs posted about $1.42 billion in total net inflows during the week — marking one of the largest weekly totals since late 2025. Leading the inflows was BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT), which attracted approximately $1.035 billion in net new capital.
The strong performance by IBIT was followed by Fidelity’s Wise Origin Bitcoin Fund (FBTC), which registered around $194 million in weekly net inflows as institutional and retail investors increased their exposure to Bitcoin through regulated investment vehicles.
Bitcoin spot ETFs have previously experienced volatility in flows — including outflows on specific days — but the overall weekly result indicates renewed investor interest. Some funds, such as the Grayscale Bitcoin Trust (GBTC), continued to see modest net outflows, highlighting the concentration of demand among the newer, more liquid spot products.
Ethereum Spot ETFs Also Draw Capital
On the Ethereum side of the market, spot Ethereum ETFs recorded about $479 million in net inflows during the Jan. 12–16 week, reflecting growing investor demand for regulated ETH exposure. SoSoValue data shows that BlackRock’s iShares Ethereum Trust (ETHA) led the inflows with approximately $219 million, followed by inflows into other Ethereum products such as Grayscale’s Ethereum Mini Trust.
The total net asset value of Ethereum spot ETFs stands in the tens of billions of dollars, and the weekly inflows underscore the continued interest in diversified crypto exposure beyond Bitcoin.
What the Flows Suggest
Industry analysts say that these large weekly ETF inflows point to institutional re-entry and a renewed appetite for digital asset exposure via regulated channels, even amid broader market volatility. A midweek concentration of inflows suggests that a mix of strategic positioning and tactical demand has driven capital into both Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs during the first full trading week of 2026.
While individual trading days can show outflows — such as Bitcoin ETFs posting net outflows on Jan. 16 — the aggregate weekly picture remains positive, with inflows sharply outweighing withdrawals across most funds.
Major ETF providers such as BlackRock and Fidelity continue to dominate the inflow rankings, with their products often accounting for the largest portions of net new capital, indicating strong investor confidence in the regulatory and structural advantages these vehicles offer.
Market Context
The strong ETF flow data comes at a time when Bitcoin prices have climbed toward the mid-$90,000 range and Ethereum has traded in the low-$3,000s, with both assets responding to a mix of macroeconomic signals and regulatory developments that influence institutional allocation decisions.
Weekly Net Inflow Summary (Jan. 12–16):
- Spot Bitcoin ETFs: ~$1.42 B ($1.035 B to IBIT)
- Spot Ethereum ETFs: ~$479 M (ETHA led with ~$219 M)
