US-listed spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds posted their strongest three-week stretch of 2026, taking in $3.8 billion in net inflows over that period, according to SoSoValue. In the latest week alone, the funds added $986.9 million, with Friday still showing positive net inflows of $174.6 million even as Bitcoin briefly slipped below $79,000. Total net assets across the products stood at $101.3 billion on Friday after briefly reaching $103.3 billion a day earlier, while cumulative net inflows rose to $55.6 billion. The rebound contrasts with heavy outflows seen earlier in 2026, although year-to-date net flows remain roughly $1 billion in the red. Friday’s activity was led by BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust, which brought in $117.4 million, and Fidelity’s Wise Origin Bitcoin Fund, which added $57.2 million. No other US spot Bitcoin ETF recorded net flows that day. Over the same period, inflows into US spot Ether and XRP ETFs weakened sharply from the previous week, even though both categories remain positive on a year-to-date basis.

According to SoSoValue, the funds brought in $986.9 million in the latest week ending Friday. The products still posted positive flows on Friday even though Bitcoin briefly fell below $79,000 during the session.

Total net assets across US spot Bitcoin ETFs stood at $101.3 billion on Friday after briefly rising to $103.3 billion a day earlier. Cumulative net inflows reached $55.6 billion.

The recent demand marks a sharp reversal from the heavy outflows seen earlier in 2026. Even so, year-to-date net flows remain roughly $1 billion negative.

Friday inflows slowed after a Thursday spike

US spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded $174.6 million in net inflows on Friday, down sharply from nearly $731 million a day earlier.

Farside Investors data showed that BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT), the largest spot Bitcoin ETF by assets, attracted $117.4 million on Friday. That accounted for about 67% of the day’s total net inflows.

Fidelity’s Wise Origin Bitcoin Fund (FBTC) was the only other fund to post net inflows, adding $57.2 million. All other US spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded no net flows for the day.

The pullback in daily inflows came as Bitcoin fell from around $81,200 to briefly below $79,000 on Friday. CoinGecko data showed Bitcoin trading at $79,716 at the time of publication, still up about 2.6% over the past seven days.

Bitcoin ETF demand strengthened while Ether and XRP flows cooled

Compared with the previous week, Bitcoin ETF inflows rose about 7%. Over the same period, inflows into US spot Ether ETFs and XRP ETFs fell about 74% and 83%, respectively.

SoSoValue data showed spot Ether ETF inflows dropping to $218.4 million from $824.4 million. XRP ETF inflows fell to $19 million from $110.5 million.

Despite the weaker weekly numbers, both Ether and XRP ETFs remain positive for the year. US spot Ether ETFs have recorded about $863 million in net inflows year to date, while XRP ETFs have attracted roughly $515 million.
