Bitcoin ETF inflows hit $1.9B in strongest week since October 2025

MarketsPublishedAug 24, 2026

US spot Bitcoin ETFs attracted $1.92 billion last week, their strongest weekly inflow since October 2025, as Bitcoin briefly climbed above $78,000 on Friday.

US spot Bitcoin exchange-traded fund (ETF) inflows surged last week after months of uneven flows, with investors pouring nearly $2 billion into the products amid a surge in Bitcoin’s price.

Bitcoin ETFs recorded $1.92 billion in net inflows during the week ending Friday, marking their strongest weekly performance in nearly 10 months, as reported by SoSoValue data.

ETF analyst Nate Geraci stated Sunday that spot Ether ETFs also attracted about $700 million. He added that Bitcoin and Ether funds each posted their strongest weekly inflows since October 2025.

The renewed ETF demand came amid Bitcoin jumping more than 20% last week, briefly surging past $79,000 on Friday after starting the week near $63,000, as reported by CoinGecko.

Bitcoin ETFs remain in the red for 2026

Despite the latest surge, US spot Bitcoin ETFs have recorded about $2.91 billion in net outflows so far in 2026.

The funds saw their heaviest monthly outflows in June at $4.51 billion, following $2.43 billion in withdrawals in May. August has brought $2.38 billion in net inflows through Friday, making it the strongest month for inflows so far this year.

During the last major inflow wave in October 2025, the funds attracted $3.42 billion. The October inflows preceded the Oct. 10 crypto market crash, which triggered the largest liquidation event in the industry’s history, wiping out roughly $19 billion in leveraged positions within 24 hours.

Since Oct. 6, when Bitcoin traded near $124,700, its price has plummeted roughly 38%.

BlackRock’s IBIT flashes a “bullish signal”

BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust ETF (IBIT) was responsible for much of last week’s resurgence, attracting about $1.33 billion in net inflows across five consecutive trading days, as reported by Farside Investors data.

IBIT’s daily inflows rose from $160.2 million on Monday to $503 million on Thursday, before easing to $239.3 million on Friday.

Bloomberg ETF analyst Eric Balchunas took to X to highlight what he described as a “classic Flipping the Bird pattern” in IBIT’s daily flows, adding that he viewed it as a bullish signal.
