Bitcoin ETF inflows slow to $191M as six-day streak reaches $2.8B
US spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds recorded $191 million in net inflows on Thursday, bringing a six-day inflow streak to just over $2.8 billion. Year-to-date net flows into the funds are now about $787 million, reversing an earlier 2026 deficit.

Why It Matters
The sustained inflow streak has materially altered the funds' year-to-date position, moving them from a multi-billion dollar deficit earlier in 2026 to a net positive. Large contributions to recent flows from the biggest ETF, IBIT, highlight concentration risks and allocation dynamics within the product complex.
Key Facts
- Thursday net inflows: $191 million
- Six-session total inflows: about $2.8 billion
- Year-to-date net flows: roughly $787 million
- Deficit at end of June 2026: about $5.5 billion
- September inflows so far: $2.56 billion
US spot Bitcoin ETFs attracted approximately $191 million in net new money on Thursday, extending a six-session inflow run that has pushed combined net purchases past $2.8 billion. The daily inflow figure marked a slowdown for the third consecutive session after a peak earlier in the week.
Inflows peaked at $999 million on Monday, according to SoSoValue, and have since declined, with Thursday’s total down about 81% from that high. The current streak has brought year-to-date net flows into the products to roughly $787 million, reversing a deficit of about $5.5 billion that was in place at the end of June.
BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) was the largest beneficiary on Thursday, accounting for roughly $163 million of the day’s net inflows, per Farside Investors data. Over the six-session period, IBIT has drawn about $1.35 billion, or nearly half of the combined inflows across US spot Bitcoin ETFs.
Market context shows Bitcoin trading near $83,807 at the time of the report, down 0.3% over 24 hours but up around 8% over the past week, based on CoinGecko data. The inflow pattern follows renewed investor interest across September, which has brought in about $2.56 billion so far, after August inflows totaled $3.52 billion.
