Crypto ETFs Surge as Bitcoin Leads the Way

Crypto exchange-traded funds ETFs experienced a significant boost, marking their second consecutive day of gains. This surge was primarily driven by Bitcoin, which saw its strongest inflow of 2026 so far. Other major cryptocurrencies like Ether, XRP, and Solana also benefited from this rebound in investor confidence.
Bitcoin ETFs led the charge with a remarkable net inflow of 753.73 million, the largest daily intake for the category this year. Fidelity s FBTC was at the forefront with 351.36 million in new capital, followed by Bitwise s BITB with 159.42 million and Blackrock s IBIT at 126.27 million. Other contributors included Ark & 21Shares ARKB 84.88 million and Grayscale s Bitcoin Mini Trust 18.80 million . Notably, there were no outflows recorded across the complex.
Ether ETFs also saw a positive trend with an inflow of 129.99 million, distributed across five funds. Blackrock s ETHA led this segment with 53.31 million, while Grayscale s Ether Mini Trust attracted 35.42 million. Other funds like Bitwise s ETHW and Fidelity s FETH also contributed to the gains.
XRP ETFs continued their upward trajectory with an inflow of 12.98 million. Grayscale s GXRP was the leader here as well, bringing in 7.86 million. Canary s XRPC and Bitwise s XRP added 2.73 million and 2.39 million respectively.
Solana ETFs reported a modest inflow of 5.91 million, entirely driven by Fidelity s FSOL. This marked a second consecutive day of gains for Solana funds.
Overall, Tuesday s market activity indicated a significant shift in sentiment. Bitcoin s substantial inflow set a positive tone, with Ether confirming ongoing demand. XRP and Solana ETFs also showed resilience in attracting investments. This rare instance of synchronized gains across the board reflects a growing confidence among investors as we move further into January.
