Bitcoin ETFs Experience Seven-Day Inflow Surge as 2026 Flows Turn Positive

Bitcoin ETFs Experience Significant Inflow Surge

U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs have witnessed a remarkable turnaround, attracting $134.5 million on Friday, contributing to a total inflow of nearly $2.98 billion over the past week. This surge marks a significant recovery following a period of heavy outflows, particularly a $746.3 million drop on September 15 and 16 after the Senate's Clarity Act vote failed.

Year-to-date inflows for Bitcoin ETFs have now reached $886.8 million, showing a strong rebound from a deficit of $5.69 billion recorded in mid-July. Two weeks ago, investor sentiment was leaning towards withdrawals, but the recent trend indicates a renewed confidence in the market.

During the inflow streak, the most notable day was September 21, when nearly $1 billion poured into the funds, marking the highest single-day inflow since October 2025. This influx has raised the average cost basis for Bitcoin ETF holders to $81,722, allowing many investors to regain profitability for the first time since January.

As of now, cumulative net inflows since the inception of these funds total $58.0 billion, with total net assets reaching $108.42 billion. Bitcoin is currently trading at around $84,020. However, to match last year's inflow total of $21.35 billion, an average daily inflow of approximately $300 million will be necessary through December, a pace that recent trends have comfortably exceeded.
