The post $355 Million Bitcoin ETF Inflow Reversal Sets the Stage for 2026 appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.

Reversal ended a seven-day slump, signaling that institutional appetites are once again the primary catalyst for price action The return of positive ETF flows suggests that industry experts and observers view the $85,000 – $90,000 range as a value zone More than 90% of the recent $355 million Bitcoin ETF inflow was concentrated in the top three funds It seems that the final trading days of 2025 have delivered a definitive answer to the question of who is driving the crypto market. After a week of holiday-driven caution and seasonal de-risking, US spot Bitcoin ETFs staged a massive comeback on December 30, recording $355 million in net inflows. This reversal ended a seven-day slump, signaling that institutional appetites are once again the primary catalyst for price action heading into 2026. The return of positive ETF flows suggests that industry experts and observers view the $85,000 – $90,000 range as a value zone. According to data from Coinglass, the rebound was spearheaded by the usual main players. BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) led the charge with $144 million, followed by Ark & 21Shares (ARKB) at $110 million.  What makes this data particularly important is the timing. As retail traders stepped away for the holidays, institutions used the thin liquidity to reestablish control, absorbing nearly $1.1 billion in sell-side pressure over the final 48 hours of the year. Why analysts believe that 2026 will be an institutional year For starters, more than 90% of the recent $355 million Bitcoin ETF inflow was concentrated in the top three funds (IBIT, ARKB, FBTC). Such concentration shows that capital is not just returning but also centralizing in the most liquid, institutional-grade vehicles.
