The cryptocurrency market has witnessed significant momentum as institutional investors show renewed interest in Bitcoin, Ethereum, and XRP ETFs, signaling a potentially exciting year ahead. With Bitcoin’s price soaring past $90,000, market analysts are optimistic about reaching new highs as we progress into 2026.

Major Inflows for Bitcoin, Ethereum, and XRP ETFs

Recent data from SoSoValue indicates that Bitcoin, Ethereum, and XRP ETFs experienced more than $800 million in net inflows as of January 5. Specifically, Bitcoin ETFs accumulated approximately $697.25 million, largely driven by significant contributions from BlackRock and Fidelity. This surge in inflows is the highest recorded since the downturn in October, providing a robust boost for Bitcoin’s price trajectory.

Ethereum ETFs have also seen promising results, marking daily net inflows of $168.13 million following an earlier $174.43 million on January 2. This recent uptick is noteworthy as it shows increased investor interest, particularly with Ethereum staking gaining traction. The demand for staking has escalated, creating a substantial queue for entry that exceeds the exit queue by over 200 times, potentially leading to a supply bottleneck for Ethereum.

Additionally, XRP ETFs mirrored the positive trend with about $46.10 million in inflows on January 5, representing their strongest performance in recent weeks. Notably, these RIP ETFs have not seen a single day of outflows since their inception in November, underscoring consistent investor confidence.

This growing interest in XRP is bolstered by its impressive performance following Bitcoin’s strong resurgence, showcasing a year-to-date gain exceeding 20%, ranking it among the top cryptocurrencies, right after Dogecoin.

“2026 Emerging Powerfully”

In a recent X post, Bloomberg analyst Eric Balchunas highlighted the remarkable inflow performance of Bitcoin ETFs as they kick off 2026. He noted that these funds garnered over $1.2 billion in just the first two trading days of the year, with every ETF witnessing notable contributions. According to Balchunas, if the trend continues, these ETFs could potentially reach inflows of $150 billion by the end of 2026.

Balchunas emphasized that projected inflows will be closely tied to Bitcoin’s price movements. He mentioned that while specific predictions weren’t formalized, it’s reasonable to anticipate inflows ranging from $20 billion to $70 billion, depending on Bitcoin’s performance. Should Bitcoin’s price reach between $130,000 and $140,000, high-end inflows could potentially approach $70 billion within the year.
