The investment landscape for Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) has witnessed a remarkable shift in 2026. As Bitcoin traded around the $80,000 mark, these funds experienced their most robust three-week inflow period of the year. This surge in interest highlights the growing confidence in Bitcoin as a mainstream investment asset.
According to data from SoSoValue the funds attracted $986.9 million in the week ending Friday, culminating in net inflows of $3.8 billion over the past three weeks. This trend marks a significant turnaround from the heavy outflows observed earlier in the year, although year-to-date net flows remain slightly negative by approximately $1 billion.
Bitcoin ETF Inflows Cool After Thursday Surge
On Friday, US spot Bitcoin ETFs saw a slowdown in inflows, attracting $174.6 million compared to the nearly $731 million recorded on Thursday. BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) the largest spot Bitcoin ETF by assets, drew $117.4 million, accounting for about 67% of the day’s total net inflows. Fidelity’s Wise Origin Bitcoin Fund (FBTC) was the only other fund to record net inflows, attracting $57.2 million.
The slowdown coincided with a drop in Bitcoin’s price from around $81,200 to briefly below $79,000 on Friday. At the time of publication, Bitcoin was trading at $79,716, still up about 2.6% over the past seven days, according to CoinGecko.
Bitcoin ETF Demand Strengthens as Ether, XRP Flows Fade
Compared to the previous week, Bitcoin ETF inflows increased by about 7%, while inflows into US spot Ether and XRP ETFs fell by approximately 74% and 83%, respectively. Spot Ether ETF inflows dropped to $218.4 million from $824.4 million, and XRP ETF inflows declined to $19 million from $110.5 million, according to SoSoValue.
Despite the weaker inflows, Ether and XRP ETFs remain in positive territory for the year. US spot Ether ETFs have recorded about $863 million in net inflows year-to-date, while XRP ETFs have attracted roughly $515 million.
BlackRock Drives Bitcoin ETF Rebound
On Monday, US-listed spot Bitcoin ETFs returned to inflows, led almost entirely by BlackRock. Data from SoSoValue showed that Bitcoin ETFs recorded $216.7 million in net inflows on Monday, reversing the $201.8 million in withdrawals recorded on Friday. This rebound was primarily driven by BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust ETF (IBIT) which led with $205.9 million in net inflows, accounting for about 95% of the category’s daily total.
Fidelity’s Wise Origin Bitcoin Fund (FBTC) added $6.9 million, followed by the Bitwise Bitcoin ETF (BITB) with $4.3 million. Morgan Stanley’s Bitcoin Trust added $3.6 million, while Grayscale’s Bitcoin Mini Trust attracted $9.4 million. VanEck’s Bitcoin ETF (HODL) was the only fund to record withdrawals, posting $13.4 million in net outflows.
Meanwhile, Ether, XRP, and Solana ETFs extended their inflow runs. Spot Ether ETFs attracted $87.7 million on Monday, marking their 11th consecutive trading session of inflows. XRP ETFs extended their positive run to 10 sessions with $5.64 million in net inflows, and Solana ETFs also posted a 10th consecutive positive session, though daily inflows slowed to $925,010 from $18.1 million on Friday.
