BITCOIN ETFs PULL IN 731M USD, BIGGEST INFLOW SINCE JANUARY
U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded around 731M USD in net inflows in a single day, the strongest daily inflow since January 2026, according to SoSoValue.
The figure was more than three times larger than any session during the 11-day streak at the end of August. Bitcoin also moved back above 80,000 USD, gaining around 3.7% on the day.
BlackRock’s IBIT led with 454M USD, followed by ARKB from Ark and 21Shares at 138M USD, while Fidelity’s FBTC recorded 74M USD. VanEck’s HODL and WisdomTree’s BTCW were the only ETFs to record outflows.
After the session, total net assets held by spot Bitcoin ETFs reached 103.34B USD, equivalent to more than 6% of Bitcoin’s market capitalization. Cumulative net inflows since the products launched in January 2024 reached 55.44B USD.
However, the 731M USD figure needs context. Just a few sessions earlier, IBIT accounted for around 201M USD of the market’s 236M USD net outflow. The same fund then contributed 454M USD to the record inflow.
That suggests institutional flows are highly volatile rather than moving in a simple one-way trend.
The macro backdrop is also shifting. The U.S. 10-year Treasury yield remains elevated while Bitcoin has moved above 80,000 USD. If rising yields are driven by fiscal concerns rather than growth, their impact on Bitcoin could differ from the usual pattern.
Risk appetite is returning across crypto as well. Dash gained 17% and Zcash rose 16.5% over 24 hours, while Bitcoin advanced 3.7%.
The next major focus is the August U.S. jobs report. The data could directly influence expectations for the September 15–16 FOMC meeting as rate-hike probabilities continue to shift.
If ETF inflows remain above 500M USD per session, that could become a notable signal of sustained institutional demand.
Was the 731M USD ETF inflow simply a short-term liquidity burst, or a sign that major capital is returning to Bitcoin?
