BlockBeats News, January 9 — According to CoinDesk, Bitcoin ETFs performed strongly at the start of 2026, with net capital inflows exceeding $1 billion in the first two trading days. Analysts say this indicates a rebound in investor risk appetite. However, Bitcoin ETFs have experienced a total net outflow of $1.128 billion over the past three trading days. Three consecutive days of capital outflows have nearly offset the $1.16 billion net inflow in the first two trading days of the year.
In other words, the capital flow of Bitcoin ETFs since the beginning of the year has been nearly flat, and the initial optimism has been replaced by balance sheet realities. This trend indicates a lack of confidence among institutional investors and also weakens the bullish outlook from the early-month capital inflows. Upcoming US employment data and Supreme Court rulings may further influence market dynamics and investor sentiment. Market volatility could intensify later on Friday.
