U.S. Bitcoin ETFs Experience Major Recovery with $2.4B in Inflows

U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs have recently reversed a troubling trend, pulling in $2.4 billion in net inflows for the week ending September 25, 2026. This marks the best week for these funds since early October 2025, bringing year-to-date net flows to approximately $934 million after a deficit of about $5.8 billion in mid-July.

BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) led the charge, attracting around $1.2 billion of the total inflows. Fidelity’s FBTC followed with approximately $702 million, while ARK 21Shares’ ARKB rounded out the top three with about $295 million. Together, these three products accounted for over 90% of the week’s capital influx.

The inflow pattern revealed a peak on Monday with nearly $999 million, a figure that would have been significant as a standalone weekly total just months ago. However, enthusiasm waned as the week progressed, with Friday's inflow dropping to $135 million. This deceleration coincided with Bitcoin's price fluctuations, which saw it touch $87,000 early in the week before retreating to the $83,000 to $84,000 range.

The positive trend extended beyond Bitcoin, as Ether ETFs attracted about $690 million, XRP ETFs drew approximately $76 million, and Solana ETFs pulled in roughly $188 million during the same week.

This recovery is notable considering the earlier struggles of spot Bitcoin ETFs, which faced significant outflows, including a record $4.51 billion in June. The turnaround from a negative $5.8 billion to a positive $934 million in just two months indicates a sustained and aggressive buying trend, suggesting that this shift may be more than just a temporary rebound.
