US spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds have started the year at an explosive pace that could, if maintained, see it blow out total inflows from 2025. “The spot Bitcoin ETFs are coming into 2026 like a lion,” said Bloomberg’s senior ETF analyst Eric Balchunas on Tuesday.He pointed out that there have been more than $1.2 billion in inflows in the first two trading days of the year, “with everyone eating,” meaning nearly all funds have seen inflows. The WisdomTree Bitcoin Fund (BTCW) was the exception. Balchunas observed that if this pace is maintained, it would mean $150 billion in annual inflows, which is…

In brief Bitcoin has pulled back from a local high near $94,400 after a burst of selling triggered $440 million in liquidations, unwinding much of its early-2026 gains. The rally had been driven by easing year-end liquidity strains and growing expectations for Federal Reserve rate cuts, lifting the broader crypto market by about $250 billion. Analysts said low leverage left the move fragile, though MSCI’s decision not to exclude crypto treasury stocks reduced a potential source of institutional selling pressure. Bitcoin’s run was cut short on Tuesday as a spike in selling pressure undid most of the new year’s gains.…
