only US spot bitcoin ETF to record net inflows during the session.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1710\" data-end=\"1957\">Despite the single-day reversal, IBIT remains the standout performer early in the year.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1710\" data-end=\"1957\">Across the first three trading days of 2026, the fund has attracted a cumulative $888 million in net inflows, underscoring its dominant position in the market.<\/p>\n<h3 data-start=\"1959\" data-end=\"2007\"><strong data-start=\"1963\" data-end=\"2007\">Ethereum and altcoin ETFs buck the trend<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"2009\"

million in net inflows on Tuesday, even as some products from Grayscale and Fidelity experienced outflows.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2252\" data-end=\"2500\">Altcoin-focused ETFs also remained in positive

narrative<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"2555\" data-end=\"2863\">Tuesday\u2019s outflows came after what had been an exceptionally strong opening to the year for Bitcoin ETFs.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2555\" data-end=\"2863\">In the first two trading days of 2026 alone, US spot Bitcoin ETFs pulled in more than $1.2 billion in net inflows, placing the sector on pace for a potentially record-setting year if momentum resumes.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2865\" data-end=\"2983\">\u201cThe spot Bitcoin ETFs are coming into 2026 like a lion,\u201d said Bloomberg senior ETF analyst Eric Balchunas on Tuesday.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2985\" data-end=\"3151\">Balchunas noted that inflows exceeded $1.2 billion in just two days, with nearly all funds participating.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2985\" data-end=\"3151\">The WisdomTree Bitcoin Fund was the lone exception, he said.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"3153\" data-end=\"3296\">He added that maintaining this pace would imply annual inflows of roughly $150 billion, or about 600% more than total inflows recorded in 2025.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"3298\" data-end=\"3410\">\u201cTold ya\u2019ll if they can take in $22 billion when it\u2019s raining, imagine when the sun is shining,\u201d Balchunas said.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"3412\" data-end=\"3583\">US spot bitcoin ETFs attracted $21.4 billion in net inflows in 2025, down from $35.2 billion in 2024.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"3412\" data-end=\"3583\">BlackRock\u2019s IBIT accounted for the majority of last year\u2019s inflows.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"3585\" data-end=\"3822\">Momentum accelerated sharply on Monday, when bitcoin ETFs logged $697 million in net inflows \u2014 the largest single-day intake in three months \u2014 as Bitcoin prices reclaimed and held above the $90,000 level following a volatile end to 2025.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"3867\" data-end=\"4045\">Adding to the sector\u2019s momentum, Morgan Stanley disclosed in a filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on Tuesday that it plans to launch Bitcoin and Solana ETFs.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"4047\" data-end=\"4223\">According to the filing, the proposed Morgan Stanley Bitcoin Trust will be a passive vehicle designed to track bitcoin\u2019s spot price and will not employ leverage or derivatives.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><a
