On January 27, news reports indicate that since late January 2026, Ethereum (ETH) has faced a critical test amid intense volatility. Last week, ETH's price briefly fell below $3,000, reaching a low of around $2,796, sparking fierce debate about its medium-term trend. On one side, institutional funds continue to withdraw, while on the other side, a rare strong influx of spot Ethereum ETFs has added tension to ETH's price movement.
Looking at institutional fund flows, as of the week ending January 23, Ethereum experienced a net outflow of over $630 million from institutional investors, directly erasing previous rebound gains and bringing the total net outflow since January to -$77.4 million, making it one of the weakest performers among mainstream cryptocurrencies. Such funds typically represent large funds and asset management institutions, and their reduction in holdings is often related to the global macro environment, risk asset volatility, and declining relative returns of Ethereum. If this defensive stance continues, ETH may face additional selling pressure in the medium term.

On January 2, 2026, the US spot Bitcoin ETF market performed strongly, with a net inflow of $471.3 million, with BlackRock's iShares Bitcoin Trust contributing the most. Despite rising institutional demand, Bitcoin prices remained stable, and the market is full of anticipation for future gains. It is expected that by the end of 2026, institutions may have purchased over 4.2 million Bitcoins. Traditional ETFs attract significantly more funds than cryptocurrency ETFs, but institutional investors' interest in Bitcoin ETFs continues to grow.

Mars Finance reports that yesterday, the total net inflow of Bitcoin spot ETFs reached $100 million, with BlackRock's IBIT ETF experiencing a single-day net inflow of $316 million, bringing the total net inflow to $63.426 billion. Fidelity's FBTC ETF, on the other hand, had a net outflow of $189 million. The current total net asset value of Bitcoin spot ETFs is $125.177 billion.

The popularity of Bitcoin spot ETFs is rising, with US net inflows reaching $100.2 million. IBIT performed well, with a single-day net inflow of $315.8 million. Gray scale products also saw inflows, but Fidelity's FBTC experienced a net outflow of $188.9 million, indicating the market is reallocating Bitcoin investments.
