Bitcoin is rising, and spot exchange-traded funds (ETFs) listed in the U.S. are pulling in money at a pace that rivals the period when the cryptocurrency traded at record highs.
On Monday, the ETFs registered a net inflow of $998.95 million, the largest since Oct. 6, 2025, according to data from SoSoValue. That was the day bitcoin hit a record high of roughly $126,200.
Monday’s inflow was also the ninth-largest since the ETFs began trading on Jan. 11, 2024. The flow was led by BlackRock’s IBIT, which pulled in $381.37 million, followed by Ark’s ARKB at $289.12 million and Fidelity’s FBTC at $238.84 million.
The inflow, the first three-day streak of gains for two weeks, reads as a vote of confidence from institutions, coming just days after bitcoin absorbed a one-two punch of a failed Senate cloture vote on the Clarity Act and a Fed interest-rate increase.
The inflow has taken the month-to-date tally to $1.31 billion, following August’s $3.52 billion inflow. That suggests strong institutional interest in the cryptocurrency despite tensions in the wider macroeconomy, particularly fiscal debt concerns across the advanced world.
