Spot Bitcoin ETFs have hauled in $1.1 billion in the first two trading days of 2026, with analysts pointing to a new year “clean-slate effect” driving digital asset demand.
Spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) have drawn strong inflows in 2026 as Matrixport analysts point to renewed investor appetite due to the new year’s “clean-slate effect.”
US spot Bitcoin ETFs bagged $697 million worth of inflows during the second trading day of 2026 on Tuesday, bringing in over $1.1 billion in net positive inflows in the opening two days of the new year, according to Farside Investors data.
The renewed inflows are a welcome sign for Bitcoin (BTC) holders, following two consecutive months of net outflows from spot Bitcoin ETFs. The funds saw $3.48 billion in outflows in November and $1.09 billion in December, according to Sosovalue data.
