Bitcoin ETFs flirt with $1B as inflows hit 2026 high

US spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds pulled in $998.9 million in net inflows on Monday, marking the largest single-day total for the products so far in 2026 and the biggest daily intake since October 6, 2025. Data compiled by SoSoValue show the inflow surpassed the prior 2026 peak of $844 million recorded on Jan. 14. Despite the one-day surge, the spot Bitcoin ETF complex remains down overall for the year, with about $464 million of net outflows in 2026 to date.

Farside Investors' data identified BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) as the largest recipient of Monday’s flows, taking in $381 million. The ARK 21Shares Bitcoin ETF (ARKB) followed with $289 million, and Fidelity’s Wise Origin Bitcoin Fund (FBTC) drew roughly $239 million. Those three funds accounted for the bulk of the daily inflows across the US spot Bitcoin ETF ecosystem.

The cash flows came as Bitcoin’s price rose, trading at $85,430 at the time of the report and up 4.7% over 24 hours and 12.3% over the past month. CoinGecko recorded a brief intraday peak above $87,200. On-chain analyst Julio Moreno of CryptoQuant noted that Bitcoin moved above its 365-day moving average on Monday, a technical milestone he described as a final signal to confirm a new bull market.

Other spot crypto ETF products also saw activity. US spot Ether ETFs attracted about $270 million in net inflows on Monday, their largest daily intake of 2026, while spot XRP ETFs reported no net flows and stand at approximately $1.71 billion in cumulative net inflows. The data underline a broader uptick in investor demand for spot crypto ETF exposure on the day.
