US spot Bitcoin ETFs pulled in $532 million on Monday, led by BlackRock's IBIT at $335 million and Fidelity's FBTC at $184 million. The fresh cash extended a three-day winning streak after the prior week had seen $490 million flow out of the same funds. Monday's haul also capped a five-week run of net inflows into digital asset investment products — the longest and largest streak of 2026, totaling $4 billion.
Friday's $737 million flip
The week's final numbers tell a split story. From Monday through Thursday, crypto exchange-traded products lost nearly $620 million. Then Friday alone brought in $737 million, flipping the period to a net positive $118 million. According to CoinShares' James Butterfill, Friday's inflow was among the largest single-day entries of the year, reflecting a sharp improvement in risk appetite. Total assets under management for the category now sit at $155 billion.
Narrowing interest before the rebound
The recovery wasn't broad. The number of assets attracting inflows shrank from nine to just four during the week, signaling a pullback in investor conviction before Friday's bounce. Bitcoin products drew $192 million for the week, bringing year-to-date flows to $4.2 billion. That weekly figure, however, was well below the prior three weeks' average of nearly $1 billion. Short-Bitcoin products saw modest inflows of $6 million.
Ethereum outflows end a streak
Ethereum flipped negative for the first time in a month, posting $81 million in outflows. That broke a three-week inflow streak that had exceeded $190 million each week. The shift suggests some traders are rotating out of the second-largest crypto after its recent run.
Regional flows take a breather
The US recorded just $48 million in inflows last week, down sharply from $1.1 billion the prior week. Germany posted $43.8 million, Canada $16 million. Bitcoin itself crossed $80,000 again for the first time in over three months, helped by the US-Iran ceasefire announced on April 8. Whether last week's positive finish signals durable strength or a one-day anomaly remains an open question — especially with so few assets still drawing fresh money.
