United States-based spot Bitcoin ETFs experienced their most robust single-day inflow of 2026 on Monday, attracting close to $1 billion and marking the ninth-strongest performance since these investment vehicles launched in early 2024.
According to data from SoSoValue, the funds captured $998.95 million in net inflows. This figure surpassed the previous 2026 high of $844 million recorded on January 14.
The Monday performance also represents the strongest single-day inflow since October 6, 2025, when Bitcoin reached an all-time high near $126,200.
BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) topped the list with $381 million in inflows. The ARK 21Shares Bitcoin ETF (ARKB) secured second place with $289 million, while Fidelity’s Wise Origin Bitcoin Fund (FBTC) contributed $239 million, based on Farside Investors data.
At the time of writing, Bitcoin was changing hands at $85,430, reflecting a 4.7% increase over the previous 24 hours and a 12.3% gain across the past month. The cryptocurrency momentarily breached $87,200 on Monday, CoinGecko data shows.
Julio Moreno, an analyst at CryptoQuant, observed that Bitcoin climbed above its 365-day moving average on Monday. He characterized this technical development as the conclusive indicator confirming the beginning of a new bull cycle for the cryptocurrency.
Three-Day Positive Streak for ETF Inflows
Monday’s performance capped the first three-consecutive-day string of inflows for spot Bitcoin ETFs in a two-week period. This positive momentum emerged following Bitcoin’s struggle with headwinds from an unsuccessful Senate cloture vote on the Clarity Act and an interest rate hike by the Federal Reserve.
The cumulative inflow total for the month has now reached $1.31 billion, trailing August’s $3.52 billion. Bitcoin has gained 44% during the current quarter, exceeding the performance of gold and other leading asset classes.
Annual Performance Remains Negative
While recent momentum has been encouraging, U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs continue to show negative net flows for 2026 as a whole. Year-to-date outflows currently range between $450 million and $464 million, varying by data source.
Monday’s substantial inflow has narrowed the year-to-date shortfall considerably but hasn’t yet pushed the annual figure into positive territory.
Spot Ether ETFs similarly experienced a robust Monday, attracting approximately $270 million in their largest single-day inflow of 2026. Meanwhile, U.S. spot XRP ETFs showed no net movement, with total cumulative inflows remaining at roughly $1.71 billion.
