Bitcoin exchange-traded funds logged a seventh straight day of net inflows, cutting their year-to-date outflow deficit by more than half. The funds now sit $390 million short of the total they pulled in during October 2025, according to data.
Seven days in a row
It's a simple streak, but it's doing real work. Over the past week, money has moved into Bitcoin ETFs every single session. That's a sharp reversal from the heavy outflows that marked much of the year. The deficit isn't gone, but it's shrunk dramatically — down more than half from where it stood just a week ago.
The pace matters. A seven-day run like this hasn't happened recently. It's not a single big day; it's consistent buying, which suggests something beyond a one-off trader repositioning.
The shrinking gap
Here's where the numbers stand: the funds are now $390 million away from matching October 2025's total inflow. That month was a strong one for Bitcoin products, and catching up to it would mean erasing the entire net outflow for the year. As of now, the funds are still in negative territory on a year-to-date basis, but the gap is narrowing fast.
For context, October 2025 wasn't a one-off spike. It was a month where investors poured cash in at a clip that now looks like the benchmark. Getting back to that level would be a clean reset.
What's driving the shift
No single catalyst has been named in the data. What's clear is that buyers are showing up consistently. The outflow pressure that dominated earlier months has faded, and inflows are taking over.
That's a change in tone. A week ago, the YTD deficit was more than double what it is now. If the current pace holds for even a few more days, the funds could erase that deficit entirely — though nothing about this is guaranteed.
The next thing to watch is whether the streak continues into next week. Another few days of inflows would push the funds into positive territory for the year, something they haven't been able to claim in a long time.
