Bitcoin ETFs Break September Curse with Record $770M Influx
The Bitcoin ETF market is showing signs of life in September 2026, bucking its historical trend as a curse for the crypto space. Spot Bitcoin ETFs saw a massive $730.8 million influx on September 3rd, marking the strongest single-day inflow since January 14th.
BlackRock's IBIT was the biggest beneficiary of this inflow, absorbing approximately $454 million. Other notable contributors included ARK 21Shares' ARKB at around $137.7 million and Fidelity's FBTC with $74.4 million in inflows.
The sudden surge in inflows is attributed to changing macroeconomic expectations, particularly regarding U.S. monetary policy. Federal Reserve Governor Christopher Waller made dovish comments on September 3rd, which markets interpreted as a signal for possible interest rate cuts or stability.
