U.S. spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) attracted an impressive net inflow of $753.7 million on January 13, 2026, marking the largest single-day total since early October 2025. This increase was primarily driven by major issuers, with Fidelity’s FBTC leading the way at $351 million.
Bitwise’s BITB followed closely with $159 million in inflows, while BlackRock’s IBIT contributed $126 million. This strong demand boosted total assets under management to $123 billion, representing approximately 6.5% of Bitcoin’s market capitalization. These inflows reflect a clear reversal of the volatility seen in the previous period.
Bitcoin ETF Inflows Surge
January 13 saw a notable change in asset inflows following some initial struggles earlier this year. Between January 7 and 9, approximately $1.1 billion in outflows occurred as institutional investors adjusted their portfolios after the holiday season. Fidelity’s FBTC continued to perform well, bringing its total historical inflows to over $12 billion and reinforcing its leading position in the market.
Bitwise’s BITB also increased its total inflows to $2.3 billion, attracting investors seeking diverse investment options. BlackRock’s IBIT maintained a strong presence in the market, often capturing over 60% of trading volume, despite seeing a smaller inflow that day. Other smaller players, such as ARK 21Shares’ ARKB, Grayscale’s Mini Trust, VanEck’s HODL, and WisdomTree’s BTCW, also reported positive inflows.
The tracking platform SoSoValue highlighted this trend with charts showing daily gains. By January 12, the market had begun to recover, with more than $116 million in inflows. Historical trends suggest that such strong buying activity can lead to significant price increases in the following weeks.
Broader Institutional Outlook
Bitcoin’s price has surged to just over $95,000, marking a 2.9% increase in the past 24 hours, with a market capitalization of $1.90 trillion, according to Coingecko data. The rise is tied to strong demand for exchange-traded funds (ETFs) and reduced selling pressure in the futures markets.
Additionally, institutions are now focusing on long-term holding strategies, which may limit the available supply and help stabilize prices. Ethereum spot ETFs saw modest inflows of around $5 million, while Bitcoin remains the more popular choice for crypto investments. The growing interest in Bitcoin futures suggests a potential resurgence among institutional investors.
Meanwhile, major firms, including Morgan Stanley, have submitted applications for Bitcoin and Solana products, reflecting an increased acceptance of these assets. Upcoming U.S. economic reports and clearer regulations are expected to influence future trends.
