Bitcoin ETFs Still Lagging Behind After Bouncing Back
US spot Bitcoin ETFs have seen significant inflows in recent weeks, but they're still about $1 billion underwater for 2026.
The gap between what investors have pulled out and put back in since January is the main concern. June 2026 was a turning point with net redemptions reaching roughly $4.5 billion that month alone.
May wasn't exactly a picnic either, with heavy outflows contributing to the cumulative damage. However, August saw a reversal of fortunes with net inflows of $3.52 billion pouring into spot Bitcoin ETFs.
The momentum carried over into September, with a three-week inflow streak delivering approximately $3.8 billion in fresh capital. The week ending September 5 alone accounted for $986.9 million in net inflows, pushing the year-to-date deficit down to roughly $1 billion.
