- U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded their strongest weekly inflows since October 2025, with nearly $2 billion added last week.
- Bitcoin ETFs accumulated about 26,000 BTC over 30 days, while Aug. 24 inflows reached roughly $338 million.
- BlackRock’s IBIT led Aug. 24 inflows with $209 million as Bitcoin ETF demand strengthened alongside the market recovery.
Bitcoin ETFs posted their strongest weekly inflow since October 2025 as institutional demand returned to the market. Analyst Darkfost said ETFs accumulated about 26,000 BTC over 30 days, while Bloomberg’s Eric Balchunas cited nearly $2 billion last week. On Aug. 24, U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs added $338 million, led by BlackRock’s IBIT.
ETFs Rebuild Bitcoin Demand
Darkfost said the latest ETF buying has helped create a clearer source of short-term Bitcoin demand. However, ETFs remain net sellers since January, with holdings down about 92,000 BTC.
He said several more weeks of similar buying would be needed to recover the amount of Bitcoin held before 2026. The latest daily data showed total spot Bitcoin ETF assets at $79.16 billion.
Cumulative net inflows reached $54.50 billion, equivalent to 681,290 BTC. Meanwhile, Aug. 24 brought $337.60 million in net inflows, representing about 4,340 BTC. Daily trading volume across the funds reached $8.23 billion.
BlackRock Leads Recent ETF Inflows
BlackRock led the latest Bitcoin ETF activity through IBIT, which recorded $209 million in net inflows. The company also led spot Ether ETF flows with $90.92 million. Overall, U.S. spot Ether ETFs attracted $116 million on Aug. 24.
BlackRock manages about $15.3 trillion in assets, according to the supplied data. Balchunas said Bitcoin ETFs took about $2 billion during the previous week. He described it as their strongest week since October 2025.
The weekly inflows coincided with Bitcoin’s move from $64,000 to $77,000. The chart also shows a shift from repeated outflows toward renewed positive flows.
ETF Flows Shift After 2025 Weakness
The chart shows strong ETF accumulation during late 2024, with individual inflows reaching about $1.35 billion. During 2025, several inflows exceeded $500 million as Bitcoin advanced. However, late 2025 and early 2026 brought more frequent outflows.
Some red bars approached $800 million to $900 million as Bitcoin also declined. Recent data shows predominantly positive ETF flows alongside Bitcoin’s recovery. The latest figures place daily net inflows above $300 million.
Darkfost said the recent buying has improved short-term demand, although the 2026 balance remains negative.
