US spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) recorded strong investor interest on Thursday, bringing in $608.3 million in net inflows and pushing weekly totals above $1.6 billion. The figures, reported by SoSoValue, mark the fourth consecutive session of positive flows into the products.
Bitcoin ETF inflows set new monthly record
Bitcoin ETFs started the week with $297.6 million in net inflows on Monday, followed by $189.3 million on Tuesday and $517.2 million on Wednesday, according to the latest data. The consistent inflows have driven August’s net inflow sum to $2.07 billion by Thursday, already overcoming April’s previous record of $1.97 billion for the highest monthly net inflow in 2026.
With seven trading sessions still left in the month, the funds look set to extend this record. Cumulative net inflows for US spot Bitcoin ETFs now total $53.4 billion, reflecting ongoing institutional and retail interest in Bitcoin investment vehicles.
| Period | Bitcoin ETF Net Inflows | Ether ETF Net Inflows |
|---|---|---|
| Thursday | $608.3 million | $220.8 million |
| This week | $1.6 billion+ | $512.2 million |
| August (to date) | $2.07 billion | $754.9 million |
| Cumulative | $53.4 billion | $13.58 billion (net assets) |
Market rally fuels ETF growth
The inflows coincided with gains in the wider crypto market. Bitcoin was priced at $75,133 on Friday, representing a 7.9% increase over the previous 24 hours, based on CoinGecko figures. Ether, the second-largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization, climbed 4.6% to about $2,357 over the same period.
Market observers say strong ETF performance often mirrors renewed investor confidence during price recoveries. US spot Bitcoin ETFs allow investors to gain direct exposure to Bitcoin via regulated market products, serving as accessible alternatives for institutions and individuals who do not wish to directly hold the asset.
Ether ETFs hit intake milestone
Spot Ether ETFs drew $220.8 million in net inflows on Thursday. This figure stands as the highest daily net intake for the products in their 203 trading sessions, spanning nearly 10 months since launch. The previous record was set on October 28, 2025, when spot Ether ETFs registered $246 million in inflows.
This week, Ether ETFs accumulated roughly $512.2 million across four trading days, pushing their net August inflows to $754.9 million. Total ETF net assets have grown to $13.58 billion. The increasing popularity of these products highlights growing institutional interest in crypto-related investment vehicles beyond just Bitcoin.
