U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs brought in $134.5 million on Friday, extending their winning streak to seven consecutive trading days, according to Decrypt’s Bitcoin ETF tracker. The current run started on Sept. 17 and has drawn about $2.98 billion.
Less than two weeks earlier, investors were pulling money out. The funds lost $450.4 million on Sept. 15, their worst day since June, after the Senate failed to advance cloture on the Clarity Act. Another $295.9 million left the products the following day.
A sharp reversal after mid-September outflows
That direction changed quickly. Inflows recorded since then have outpaced those two days of losses by roughly four times.
Spot Bitcoin ETFs hold Bitcoin directly and give investors exposure through a standard brokerage account rather than through crypto exchanges, wallets, or seed phrases. Their daily flow figures are closely watched as a gauge of institutional demand.
Sept. 21 delivered the strongest day of the streak
The biggest lift came on Sept. 21, when the funds took in nearly $1 billion. That was their best day since October 2025.
As Decrypt reported earlier this week, that surge helped push Bitcoin above the average ETF holder’s cost basis of $81,722, an estimate from Bloomberg analyst James Seyffart. It marked the first time since January that the typical fund investor was back in profit.
2026 flows have moved back into positive territory
The inflow streak has also changed the year-to-date picture. Through Thursday, U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs had recorded net inflows of $886.8 million in 2026, based on Farside Investors data.
That represents a swing of roughly $6.6 billion from July 13, when the funds were sitting on net outflows of $5.69 billion for the year. Adding Friday’s $134.5 million would push the total above $1 billion, though published tallies differ by tracker. Bloomberg earlier this week placed year-to-date flows at about $320 million.
Cumulative inflows since launch reach $58.0 billion
Decrypt’s tracker shows cumulative net inflows of $58.0 billion since these funds launched. Total net assets stand at $108.42 billion, with Bitcoin trading at around $84,020.
There is still a gap to last year’s pace. Farside data shows the funds pulled in $21.35 billion in 2025. Matching that figure would require roughly $300 million a day through December, a pace that this seven-day streak has been comfortably beating on average.
