United States spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) recorded their strongest week of net inflows this year, drawing $2.39 billion, according to data tracked by SoSoValue. The weekly tally included $134.5 million added on Friday.
The total was the largest since the week ending Oct. 10, 2025, when net inflows reached $2.71 billion, per SoSoValue. It also surpassed the previous high for 2026, the $1.92 billion recorded in August, making it the first weekly inflow above $2 billion year.
Spot Bitcoin ETFs, which hold the asset directly and began trading in the United States in January 2024, give institutional and retail investors regulated exposure to the cryptocurrency. Because the funds hold the asset themselves, net inflows add to the Bitcoin under their management while net outflows reduce it, making weekly flow tallies a gauge of demand coming through regulated US investment products.
After Friday's session, the funds' cumulative year-to-date flows stood at roughly $926 million. That marks a recovery from earlier in the year, when year-to-date flows had fallen to a deficit of about $5.55 billion in early July, a swing of roughly $6.5 billion.
Daily net inflows slowed as the week progressed, after a Monday session that brought in nearly $1 billion. The cooling came as Bitcoin pulled back from levels above $87,100. Daily figures from SoSoValue in the coming sessions will show whether the pace of inflows picks back up.
At the time of publication, Bitcoin traded at about $83,116, according to CoinGecko, down 1.6% over the past 24 hours but still up 1.7% over the past seven days.
The Crypto Fear & Greed Index, tracked by Alternative.me, stood at 74, up from 70 a week earlier, and remained in "Greed" territory. The index runs from 0, indicating extreme fear, to 100, indicating extreme greed.
Inflows extended beyond Bitcoin products. US spot Ether ETFs, which launched in July 2024, attracted about $690 million in net inflows during the week, according to SoSoValue, reversing roughly $140 million in outflows recorded the previous week. Spot XRP ETFs added about $76 million over the same period, leaving all three categories of US spot crypto ETFs in positive territory for the week.
