Bitcoin ETFs recorded inflows for nine consecutive days, totaling $3.08 billion, surpassing August's performance despite a dip in Bitcoin's price.
Bitcoin ETFs Mark Nine Days of Inflows
Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) have achieved a significant milestone with inflows totaling $66.19 million on September 29, marking the ninth consecutive day of positive net inflows. Over the span of these nine days, from September 17 to 29, the total inflow reached approximately $3.08 billion, surpassing the $3.04 billion accumulated during a similar period in August.
Despite a recent drop in Bitcoin's trading price to around $84,400, down from its September peak of approximately $87,350, there remains a strong interest from ETF investors. Daily inflows have seen a sharp decline from a high of $999 million on September 21 to the latest figures.
Comparative Performance
This latest inflow streak, which began on September 17, has outperformed the previous August inflow period by about $33 million. This is particularly noteworthy as August's inflows were instrumental in Bitcoin's recovery from a bearish market.
Bitcoin ETFs allow investors to gain exposure to the cryptocurrency without the need to buy Bitcoin directly or manage it in digital wallets. These financial products track Bitcoin's price and operate like stocks on trading platforms, contributing to their growing popularity.
Market Sentiment and Economic Factors
Recent trends indicate a shift in investor sentiment, influenced by macroeconomic factors. Following a 25 basis point increase in interest rates by the Federal Reserve on September 16, Bitcoin's price dropped to around $75,000, resulting in a withdrawal of about $746 million from ETFs over two days. However, the inflow trend reversed on September 17, with $159.5 million returning to the funds, pushing Bitcoin back above $80,000 shortly thereafter.
The week ending September 25 saw total inflows reach $2.4 billion, representing the largest weekly inflow since October 2025, which helped restore a positive net position for 2026.
Despite the recent successes, Bitcoin's price remains about one-third lower than its all-time high of $126,296 from October 2025. The current inflow streak, while impressive, still falls short of the record 13 consecutive days of inflows set in June 2025. To match this record, the inflows will need to continue through October 5.
