Bitcoin spot ETFs reverse flows with 7 straight sessions of net inflows

Bitcoin spot exchange-traded funds (ETFs) posted net inflows for seven straight sessions, turning 2026 cumulative flows positive again.

On Sept. 26 (local time), blockchain media outlet Decrypt reported that bitcoin spot ETFs pulled in $134.5 million on Sept. 25, extending the inflow streak that began on Sept. 17 to seven sessions.

Total inflows during the streak amount to about $2.98 billion. Investor outflows were pronounced until mid-September, but fund flows reversed rapidly in just a few days. In particular, $450.4 million and $295.9 million flowed out on Sept. 15 and 16, respectively, after a final vote on the Clarity bill in the U.S. Senate failed. The Sept. 15 outflow was the largest daily total since June.

The trend then shifted sharply. Net inflows since Sept. 17 were about four times the amount that flowed out over the prior two days.

The biggest turning point was Sept. 21. Bitcoin spot ETFs drew in close to $1 billion that day, the largest daily inflow since October 2025. That move pushed bitcoin's price above the ETF average purchase price of $81,722 estimated by Bloomberg analyst James Seyffart. As a result, typical fund investors moved back into profit territory for the first time since January.
