BlackRock Reverses Course, Records $15.9M Inflow into IBIT After Sell-Off

Published at 2026-01-27 16:00:34

BlackRock appears to have paused a four-day run of Bitcoin selling, reversing course with a fresh inflow into its IBIT exchange-traded fund. Farside Investor data show IBIT took in $15.9 million on Tuesday, the largest single inflow among asset managers in the Bitcoin ETF complex. The inflow ends a visible stretch of outflows and represents the biggest manager-level pickup in recent sessions.

Though $15.9 million is small relative to overall Bitcoin market capitalization, the return of BlackRock buying is symbolically important and could help stabilize ETF flows and market sentiment if sustained. Traders and analysts will watch whether this is an isolated rebound or the start of renewed institutional demand across competing ETFs. For now, the inflow provides a cautiously positive signal while broader flow trends will determine lasting market impact.
