Bitcoin exchange-traded funds have recorded solid inflows for a third straight session, reversing the outflow trend seen earlier in January. Spot Bitcoin ETFs took in more than $843.6 million on Wednesday, the strongest single-day inflow so far in 2026, according to data from SoSoValue.

Across the three-day stretch, cumulative inflows exceeded $1.7 billion, more than compensating for roughly $1.4 billion in outflows recorded between Jan. 6 and Jan. 9. The renewed demand coincided with Bitcoin returning to two-month highs above $97,000 on Wednesday, a move that lifted overall market sentiment as the Crypto Fear & Greed Index shifted into “greed” territory for the first time since October.

BlackRock dominates daily contributions

BlackRock led the latest wave of inflows, with its iShares Bitcoin Trust pulling in over $648 million on the day. Fidelity’s Wise Origin Bitcoin Fund followed with $125.4 million in new capital.

Additional inflows were recorded by ARK Invest’s ARK 21Shares Bitcoin ETF, which attracted close to $30 million, while the Bitwise Bitcoin ETF added $10.6 million. Together, these contributions underscored a broad-based pickup in demand rather than activity concentrated in a single product.

January totals turn positive as sentiment improves

So far this month, spot Bitcoin ETFs have accumulated around $1.5 billion in inflows over nine trading days, pointing to a clear shift in momentum. Tuesday’s $754 million intake marked the largest daily inflow since Oct. 7, when ETFs drew in $875.6 million, according to SoSoValue.

The resurgence in fund activity came as Bitcoin climbed above $97,000 for the first time since mid-November. After briefly touching $97,957 on Wednesday, the price eased slightly and was trading near $96,642 at the time of publication, based on Coinbase data. Alongside the price move, the Crypto Fear & Greed Index rose to 61, reinforcing the return to “greed” territory after months of subdued sentiment.
