Bitcoin ETFs Extend Three-Week Winning Streak, NEAR Debuts with $58.35M Inflows
U.S. Bitcoin ETFs continued their three-week inflow streak, despite a 90% slowdown in investment. Between September 28 and October 2, these funds attracted $241.08 million, a significant drop from the previous five sessions' $2.39 billion influx. Blackrock's IBIT dominated the weekly picture, with $450.18 million in net inflows, while Fidelity's FBTC lost $167.94 million, and Grayscale's GBTC shed $54.58 million.
The slower pace comes after Bitcoin ETFs collected $2.65 billion in September, their second-strongest monthly result since October 2025. This strength has helped maintain an institutional cushion beneath Bitcoin's price, even as daily flows become less aggressive. Six out of the last seven weeks have ended in net inflows for Bitcoin ETFs.
Ether and Zcash ETFs, however, endured their weakest weekly showing in several weeks, recording roughly $138 million in net outflows. Ether ETFs lost $93.56 million, ending a five-week inflow streak. Grayscale's ZCSH recorded outflows on Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday as assets fell well below the $1 billion threshold reached in late September.
NEAR, the newest ETF category, supplied one of the week's clearest growth stories. Bitwise's NEAR fund debuted Tuesday with $35.99 million in inflows, adding $14.04 million on Wednesday, $8.08 million on Thursday, and another $241,620 on Friday, bringing its first-week total to roughly $58.35 million.
