US spot Bitcoin ETFs registered net inflows of approximately $191 million on Thursday, securing their sixth consecutive day of positive flows. The recent streak has brought total inflows to over $2.8 billion, reflecting sustained investor interest despite signs of cooling demand later in the week.
Demand slows after Monday’s record
Thursday’s inflow of $191 million represented a sharp decline from Monday’s influx of $999 million, the highest single-day figure for 2026. In the days following the peak, inflows have decreased steadily, with Tuesday and Wednesday drawing $714.75 million and $347 million, respectively. This signals falling demand across three consecutive sessions.
Monday’s record, set on September 21, was the largest daily total for US spot Bitcoin ETFs since October 2025. On that day, Bitcoin briefly soared past $87,000 before pulling back to around $83,800. Over the week, Bitcoin’s price remains up by about 3.6%, even as the pace of ETF inflows has moderated.
Thursday’s entry was 81% lower than Monday’s record, but the six-day net inflow streak continues, exceeding $2.8 billion as overall momentum slows.
Fund breakdown: BlackRock leads inflows
BlackRock’s IBIT commanded $162.63 million of Thursday’s net inflows, significantly outpacing the category. The remaining eleven spot Bitcoin ETFs shared a much smaller portion of the total. Fidelity’s FBTC recorded $12.86 million, and Morgan Stanley’s MSBT absorbed $10.16 million. Franklin’s EZBC and Bitwise’s BITB collected $4.88 million and $4.13 million, respectively.
WisdomTree’s BTCW was the only fund to experience net outflows, totaling $4.02 million. Across the six-session streak, IBIT drew in approximately $1.35 billion, close to half of all inflows to the category. Combined, the twelve ETFs registered a trading turnover of $2.27 billion, with aggregate net assets ending near $108.92 billion.
Momentum continues for crypto ETF products
Ether ETF products also maintained positive momentum, marking five days of returns with inflows of $66.01 million. The increased volume across major ETFs underscores ongoing institutional and retail participation in crypto-based products.
Brian Huang, co-founder and chief executive of Glider, observed that bitcoin futures open interest has returned to levels last seen in May. Huang identified about $3.3 billion in open interest on Hyperliquid’s BTC perpetuals. He noted that a negative basis, alongside increasing open interest, suggests new short positions are being initiated.
Bitcoin’s pullback after recent highs has coincided with growing open interest in perpetual futures, a sign that new shorts may be entering the market as traders adjust their positioning.
As investors weigh technical signals such as inflow trends and futures open interest, the meme token segment remains volatile and heavily influenced by internet-driven trends. In the meme token market, an internet trend can transform into millions of dollars of interest within days. According to data shared by Fomo App, a trade involving “Niu Lai”—which turned an initial $99 investment into approximately $370,000, stands out as a striking example of this activity.
