Bitcoin ETFs See Record Inflow, Followed by Sudden Reversal

In August 2026, US-listed spot Bitcoin ETFs saw their strongest month yet, attracting $3.52 billion in net inflows.

This influx was largely driven by a 25% surge in Bitcoin's price during the same period.

The significant inflow reduced year-to-date net outflows from $5.29 billion to $1.77 billion and brought total ETF assets close to the $100 billion mark.

However, September began with a sharp reversal as Bitcoin ETFs recorded $236.46 million in net outflows on the first day, mainly due to BlackRock's iShares Bitcoin Trust.
