Analyst view on year-end demand
Nick Ruck, director of LVRG Research, said the bounce came despite holiday conditions.
Ruck said:
“The net inflows signal a positive rebound from recent year-end tax-loss harvesting and de-risking pressures, highlighting resilient institutional demand amid holiday-thinned liquidity.”
2026 outlook comments
Ruck said bitcoin and other digital-asset ETFs saw “tens of billions” in cumulative inflows in 2025 despite negative asset returns.
NovaDius Wealth President Nate Geraci wrote on X that 2026 will be “the year” bitcoin and related products go mainstream, citing expectations for a “full regulatory framework” and broader institutional adoption.
