US spot bitcoin ETFs recorded a net inflow of $217 million on Monday, resuming positive momentum after experiencing outflows of $202 million last Friday, according to data from SoSoValue. Friday’s outflow ended a nine-day streak of net buying that began on August 19, a run matching the longest inflow period for these products this year.
Bitcoin ETF net assets and monthly performance
By the end of August, bitcoin ETF net assets finished just under $100 billion, slightly below the threshold crossed on August 27, following Friday’s selling. Since launching in January 2024, cumulative net inflows into bitcoin ETFs have reached approximately $55 billion. August outperformed all previous months in 2026 for these funds, with results more than doubling those seen in April.
Despite the strong August rally, bitcoin ETFs continue to carry a net outflow for 2026 of about $2.5 billion. This reflects the volatility that has impacted the sector over the year, with shifts often triggered by external macroeconomic factors and investor sentiment.
Ether ETF inflows show stronger momentum
While bitcoin ETF inflows paused briefly, ether ETFs maintained steady momentum. On Monday, ether ETFs attracted $88 million in net purchases, extending their streak to 11 consecutive days and totaling $1.6 billion in net inflows. This is the longest uninterrupted buying period since a 20-day run concluded in July 2025.

Drivers behind ETF flows
Analysts noted that Friday’s outflow in bitcoin ETFs followed monetary policy comments by former Federal Reserve Governor Kevin Warsh during the Jackson Hole symposium, which raised expectations of future interest rate hikes. The subsequent rebound on Monday was interpreted as investors treating the sell-off as a temporary adjustment.
Despite short-term volatility caused by policy expectations, allocators signaled confidence by returning to bitcoin ETFs immediately following Friday’s pause, leaving this week’s upcoming data releases as the determining factor for the prevailing trend.
