The true actions of institutions have just come to light.

On January 2nd, Bitcoin spot ETF saw a net inflow of $7.1 billion in a single day — this is no small amount. Among them, BlackRock's IBIT attracted $287 million in a single day, ranking in the top ten for ETF flows across the US.

What does this mean? Major players in traditional finance are changing their perception of Bitcoin. From once being considered a "risk asset" to now a "standard allocation," this shift is accelerating.

Carefully examining the market trends reveals that the institutional accumulation cycle has already begun. When these large-scale players start entering the market in bulk, retail investors face a choice that shifts from "Will it rise?" to "Can I hold on?" — psychological pressure and risk tolerance will be amplified.

Historical cyclical patterns are quite regular: institutions push prices higher, while retail investors repeatedly cut their positions in hesitation and regret. The real opportunities always go to those who can identify trends early and are not scared off by short-term volatility.

How will you look back on this moment in 2026?

7.1 billion USD is really unstoppable this time, right?

7.1 billion poured in, BlackRock's move is definitely a strategic play. Retail investors are still debating the rise and fall, while institutions have already laid out their backup plans.

Are the 7.1 billion really coming in? I'm still stuck in a loss. If I had known, I would have gone all in at the bottom.

7.1 billion entries is indeed impressive, but retail investors are still struggling with a 0.5-point fluctuation haha Holding on is the biggest test, easy to say This round of institutional actions feels different to me, they are really starting to get serious
