BlackRock absorbs selling as U.S. Bitcoin ETFs slip into first 2026 outflow
Source: Cryptonews Original Title: BlackRock absorbs selling as U.S. Bitcoin ETFs slip into first 2026 outflow Original Link: U.S. spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds recorded net outflows on Tuesday, marking the first day of negative aggregate flows in 2026 after two consecutive sessions of strong inflows.
BTC ETFs Outflows Continue into 2026
Fidelity’s Wise Origin Bitcoin Fund led the outflows on Tuesday. Grayscale’s flagship Bitcoin Trust and its Bitcoin Mini Trust also recorded withdrawals, while funds managed by Ark & 21Shares and VanEck posted net outflows during the session.
BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust recorded net inflows on Tuesday, partially offsetting the selling pressure across other products. The fund has attracted substantial cumulative inflows across the first three trading days of 2026, maintaining its position as the largest Bitcoin ETF by assets.
U.S. spot Ethereum ETFs recorded net inflows on Tuesday, even as some products from Grayscale and Fidelity experienced outflows. XRP-focused and Solana-focused exchange-traded products also recorded fresh inflows during the session.
The outflows followed a strong opening to the year for Bitcoin ETFs. In the first two trading days of 2026, the sector recorded substantial net inflows.
Strong Year-Start Performance
According to Bloomberg senior ETF analyst Eric Balchunas, “The spot Bitcoin ETFs are coming into 2026 like a lion,” noting that inflows in just two days were substantial with nearly all funds participating. Maintaining the pace would imply annual inflows far exceeding totals recorded in 2025.
U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs attracted net inflows in 2025, though the total was smaller than the prior year. BlackRock’s iShares product accounted for the majority of 2025 inflows.
Bitcoin ETFs logged their largest single-day inflows in three months on Monday as Bitcoin prices rose following a volatile end to 2025.
New Institutional Players
A major financial institution disclosed in a filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission that it plans to launch Bitcoin and Solana ETFs. The proposed Bitcoin Trust will be a passive vehicle designed to track Bitcoin’s spot price and will not employ leverage or derivatives, according to the filing.
