U.S. spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds experienced an influx of almost $1 billion on Monday, representing their strongest single-day performance in 2026 and ranking ninth among all daily inflows since these investment vehicles launched in January 2024.
Data from SoSoValue indicates the funds captured $998.95 million in net inflows. This surpassed the prior 2026 high of $844 million established on January 14.
Monday’s influx also represents the strongest daily performance since October 6, 2025, when Bitcoin reached an all-time peak of approximately $126,200.
BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) dominated inflows with $381 million. The ARK 21Shares Bitcoin ETF (ARKB) secured second place with $289 million, while Fidelity’s Wise Origin Bitcoin Fund (FBTC) contributed $239 million, based on Farside Investors data.
At the time of writing, Bitcoin was changing hands at $85,430, reflecting a 4.7% increase over 24 hours and a 12.3% gain across the past month. The cryptocurrency momentarily exceeded $87,200 on Monday, per CoinGecko data.
Julio Moreno, an analyst at CryptoQuant, observed that Bitcoin climbed above its 365-day moving average on Monday. He characterized this development as the concluding indicator required to validate a new bull cycle for the digital asset.
Three Consecutive Days of Positive ETF Flows
Monday represented the first time in two weeks that spot Bitcoin ETFs registered three straight days of positive inflows. This streak emerged just after Bitcoin encountered headwinds from a rejected Senate cloture vote on the Clarity Act and an interest rate hike by the Federal Reserve.
The cumulative inflow for the month now reaches $1.31 billion, trailing August’s impressive $3.52 billion. Bitcoin has climbed 44% during the current quarter, surpassing gold and other prominent assets in performance.
2026 Year-to-Date Flows Remain Negative
While recent momentum has been encouraging, U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs continue to show negative net flows for 2026 as a whole. Year-to-date net outflows currently range between approximately $450 million and $464 million, varying by data source.
Monday’s substantial inflow narrows the year-to-date shortfall toward neutral territory but hasn’t yet pushed it into positive ground.
Spot Ether ETFs similarly enjoyed a robust Monday, attracting roughly $270 million in their largest single-day inflow of 2026. Meanwhile, U.S. spot XRP ETFs showed no net activity, maintaining cumulative net inflows of about $1.71 billion.
