Bitcoin ETFs Notch Seven-Day Winning Streak as 2026 Flows Turn Green

In brief

• U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs took in $134.5 million Friday, extending a seven-day inflow streak worth about $2.98 billion, per Decrypt's tracker.
• The run followed $746.3 million in outflows on Sept. 15 and 16 after the Clarity Act failed in the Senate.
• Year-to-date flows turned positive at $886.8 million through Thursday, per Farside, up from a $5.69 billion hole in July.

Less than two weeks ago, Bitcoin ETF investors were heading for the exits. Now they're piling back in.

U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs took in $134.5 million on Friday, extending their inflow streak to seven straight trading days, according to Decrypt's Bitcoin ETF tracker. The run, which began Sept. 17, has pulled in about $2.98 billion.

That's a sharp reversal from mid-September. The funds shed $450.4 million on Sept. 15, their worst day since June, after the Senate's failed cloture vote on the Clarity Act. They lost another $295.9 million the next day.

Then the tide turned. Inflows since have outpaced those back-to-back losses roughly fourfold.

Bitcoin ETFs are exchange-traded funds that hold actual Bitcoin, letting investors gain exposure through a regular brokerage account, circumventing crypto exchanges, wallets, and seed phrases altogether. Their daily flows have become a closely watched barometer of institutional appetite.
