Bitcoin spot ETFs performed strongly at the beginning of 2026. Data shows that in the first two trading days of the year, the net inflow was approximately $1.2 billion. How strong is this momentum? From another perspective, if this pace continues, the annualized inflow could reach the level of $150 billion.

What’s even more noteworthy is the market’s attractiveness. Even in less-than-ideal market conditions, Bitcoin spot ETFs still attracted $22 billion in funds. What does this indicate? It shows that institutional investors and retail investors’ recognition of this tool is continuously increasing.

From a capital perspective, this sustained net inflow not only reflects investors’ re-pricing of Bitcoin’s value but also highlights the increasingly prominent role of spot ETFs as a bridge between traditional finance and crypto assets. Under a compliant and institutionalized framework, the convenience of Bitcoin asset allocation has significantly improved.

150 billion annual inflow? That number would scare many bears haha Institutional entry is just different, spot ETFs have really become a bridge Are retail investors FOMOing wildly or are institutions making steady moves? I think it's both Compliance surprisingly turned out to be BTC's strongest supporter in the end Can this momentum last until the end of the year? Anyway, I've already jumped on board

150 billion annualized? Damn, that number is outrageous, but institutions are really quietly getting on board. I see what this move by the institutions means; spot ETFs are their golden ticket. It's "bridge" and "convenience" again... Basically, it's about making cryptocurrencies legitimate, and traditional finance is finally opening a window. In just two days at the beginning of the year, 1.2 billion was invested. This pace is much faster than I expected, a bit surprising. This is true recognition—it's not just crypto circle hype; Wall Street is moving money. Spot ETFs really change the game; compliance is the lifeline. What does 150 billion mean... how many bull markets is that equivalent to? This time, it's different. The key is institutional investors entering the market; retail investors following the trend are just superficial.

150 billion annualized? How is this data calculated? Directly projecting 1.2 billion in two days for a whole year? I'm actually curious to see the liquidity depth and whether there will be abnormal price spreads during large redemptions.

150 billion annualized? That's a bit exaggerated, let's see what happens when the time comes. Institutions are rushing in madly, retail investors are following suit. Who has no idea who will end up holding the bag? Under a compliant framework, it's reliable? Ha, you'll know when the adjustment comes. ETFs are just tools for institutions to harvest retail investors; their convenience is indeed high. If 1.2 billion can be projected as annualized in two trading days, this data was probably made up on the spot. What does the popularity of spot ETFs indicate? It shows people are still chasing high prices. Even with a net inflow of 22 billion, no market trend has emerged; instead, the hype has become even more intense. This is quite interesting. Bitcoin's pricing power still lies in the hands of big players; ETFs are just a conveyor belt. Institutions are all positioning themselves, retail investors are rushing along. I've seen this script N times already.

Wow, $150 billion annualized? It's only been two days into the new year, and things are already this intense. Institutions are really starting to get serious.
