US spot Bitcoin ETFs continued attracting investor demand on Thursday, extending their net inflow streak to six consecutive sessions.
The latest inflows showed continued interest in Bitcoin investment products, although daily demand has slowed from the record levels seen earlier in the week. The market saw a steady accumulation trend as investors monitored Bitcoin’s recent pullback and broader derivatives activity.
The 12 US spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded approximately $191 million in net inflows on Thursday, marking the smallest daily inflow during the current six-day streak. The total inflow run has now surpassed $2.8 billion, showing sustained demand despite the recent slowdown.
Thursday’s inflows followed three consecutive sessions of declining daily demand. Monday recorded the strongest performance of 2026 with $999 million in inflows, while Tuesday added $714.75 million and Wednesday attracted $347 million.
BlackRock’s IBIT leads Bitcoin ETF inflows as demand moderates
The Thursday inflow figure represented an 81% decline from Monday’s record level. Monday’s inflows marked the largest single-day total for US spot Bitcoin ETFs in 2026 and the strongest performance since early October 2025.
The record inflow day came as Bitcoin briefly moved above $87,000. Since then, Bitcoin has pulled back toward $83,800, although the cryptocurrency remains up about 3.6% over the past week.
BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) dominated Thursday’s ETF activity, accounting for $162.63 million of the total inflows. The fund attracted more capital than the other 11 Bitcoin ETFs combined during the session.
Fidelity’s FBTC followed with $12.86 million in inflows, while Morgan Stanley’s MSBT recorded $10.16 million. Franklin Templeton’s EZBC added $4.88 million, and Bitwise’s BITB received $4.13 million.
WisdomTree’s BTCW was the only fund to experience outflows, losing $4.02 million during the session. Across the six-day streak, IBIT has collected approximately $1.35 billion, representing nearly half of the category’s total inflows.
The combined trading activity across the 12 Bitcoin ETFs reached $2.27 billion on Thursday. Their total net assets ended the session near $108.92 billion, reflecting continued institutional participation in Bitcoin investment products.
Ethereum-based exchange-traded products also maintained positive momentum. Ether products recorded $66.01 million in net inflows on Thursday, extending their own inflow streak to five sessions.
Bitcoin futures open interest returns to may levels
Market participants are also tracking activity in Bitcoin derivatives markets as institutional flows continue. Brian Huang, co-founder and chief executive of Glider, said Bitcoin futures open interest has returned to levels last seen in May.
According to Huang, around $3.3 billion of Bitcoin perpetual futures open interest sits on Hyperliquid. He said rising open interest combined with a negative basis suggests new short positions are entering the market.
The futures activity comes as Bitcoin ETF demand remains positive despite slowing daily inflows. Investors continue watching whether institutional accumulation can offset changes in derivatives positioning.
The latest ETF data shows a shift from the aggressive buying pace seen earlier in the week. However, the continued six-day inflow streak highlights ongoing demand for regulated Bitcoin investment products.
