Bitcoin ETFs Draw $854M Over Five Days as Rate-Hike Bets Fade

In brief

• U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded five straight sessions of net inflows last week, totaling $853.5 million, according to SoSoValue.
• Around $690 million of that went into BlackRock's IBIT, about 80% of the week's total.
• Bitcoin traded at around $65,000 Monday morning, some 48% below its October 2025 record, according to CoinGecko.

U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs took in $853.5 million across five consecutive sessions last week, SoSoValue data shows, after a $61.5 million net outflow the week before, lifting cumulative net inflows since launch to $52.18 billion.

Around $690 million came through BlackRock's IBIT, about 80% of the week's total, according to Stephen Wundke, strategy and revenue director at Algoz Technologies. On Friday alone, IBIT drew $86.7 million and Fidelity's FBTC $41 million, while Invesco's BTCO shed $19.4 million and VanEck's HODL lost $10.6 million.

Momentum eased into the weekend, with daily inflows slipping from $128.7 million on Thursday to $98.9 million on Friday. The funds closed the week holding $79.5 billion, about 6.1% of Bitcoin's market capitalization.

"It shows that after the AI craze briefly entered a pullback period, institutional funds have started buying Bitcoin again," Tim Sun, senior researcher at HashKey, told Decrypt, adding that the flows likely combine portfolio rebalancing with a degree of basis trading.
