Investor interest in crypto-based exchange-traded funds (ETFs) is heating up. According to SoSoValue, U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs saw a significant net inflow of $697 million on January 5. This surge highlights growing institutional demand and investor confidence in digital assets as 2026 begins.
The standout performer was BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT), which recorded a massive single-day net inflow of $372 million. This makes it the leading Bitcoin ETF by daily inflows and underscores BlackRock’s strong position in the crypto ETF space.
Other Bitcoin ETFs also saw positive flows, reflecting a broader appetite for exposure to the top cryptocurrency. With increasing speculation about Bitcoin’s price movement and regulatory clarity improving, these products are quickly becoming a go-to option for traditional investors looking to get involved in crypto.
Ethereum, Solana, and XRP ETFs Also Gain Traction
Bitcoin wasn’t the only asset seeing ETF action. Spot Ethereum ETFs drew in $168 million in net inflows on the same day, showing continued support for the second-largest cryptocurrency by market cap. Investors appear increasingly interested in Ethereum’s expanding use cases, especially with staking and DeFi integration.
Solana and XRP also attracted fresh capital. Solana spot ETFs recorded $16.24 million in inflows, while XRP ETFs followed with $46.10 million. These numbers, though smaller than Bitcoin and Ethereum’s, reflect a widening interest in altcoin ETFs.
As more institutional players step into the crypto ETF market, we can expect greater diversification and stronger price correlations between traditional finance and digital assets.
