Source: CryptoNewsNet Original Title: Bitcoin ETF optimism fades as three-day outflows streak erases early-month gains Original Link: Bitcoin BTC $91,031.04 ETFs kicked off 2026 with a bang, pulling in over $1 billion in the first two trading days, a sign, analysts said, of resurgent investor risk appetite. That narrative has crumbled fast, with a three-day outflow streak casting fresh doubt on BTC’s price prospects.

The 11 U.S.-listed spot ETFs have cumulatively registered a net outflow of $1.128 billion in the past three days, according to data source Farside Investors. The three-day outflow streak has nearly wiped out the net inflow of $1.16 billion over the first two trading days of the year.

In other words, year-to-date inflows for Bitcoin ETFs sit nearly flat, with early optimism giving way to balance-sheet reality. These trends point to a lack of conviction among institutional players, and weaken the bullish prospects hinted at by early-month inflows.
