Bitcoin ETF momentum surges into 2026 as BTC breaks through the $97K barrier, driven by substantial inflows into major products like BlackRock's IBIT. The rally marks a significant shift in market psychology—the Crypto Fear & Greed Index has flipped to Greed territory for the first time since October, signaling the intensity of current buying pressure. Meanwhile, institutional adoption continues gaining ground: DZ Bank has successfully obtained MiCA compliance certification, a major milestone for traditional financial institutions entering the crypto space. This convergence of retail ETF demand, improved sentiment, and regulatory clearances points to an increasingly interconnected landscape where legacy finance and digital assets are becoming intertwined.

97k already? Blackstone really made a profit this time. Institutional investors entering the market are just different.
