U.S. Bitcoin ETFs see strongest inflow streak since start of 2026
Spot BTC ETFs in the United States recorded five consecutive days of capital inflows for the first time in 2026. Over the past week, investors allocated about $767.32 million into these funds, marking a notable improvement after a volatile start to the year for the crypto market.
The final trading session of the week — March 13 — brought $180.33 million in net inflows. This result secured the five-day streak of positive capital flows. It is also the longest inflow streak for BTC ETFs since the beginning of the year. Despite weak BTC price performance, investor demand continues to grow. Institutional investors in the United States remain particularly active, supporting inflows into exchange-traded crypto funds.
BlackRock’s fund once again became the main driver
The largest contribution to inflows again came from BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT). On Friday, the fund attracted about $143.59 million, accounting for the majority of the day’s inflows. The second-largest inflow went to the Fidelity Wise Origin Bitcoin Fund (FBTC), which received $23.24 million.
Several other funds also reported positive results. VanEck HODL attracted about $8.05 million, Bitwise BITB received $3.09 million, and Ark 21Shares ARKB added roughly $2.36 million. The strongest day of the week occurred on March 10, when inflows reached $250.92 million. BlackRock therefore continues to lead among BTC ETFs in terms of capital inflows.
Third consecutive week of inflows
Recent data shows that BTC ETFs in the United States have recorded positive inflows for three consecutive weeks. According to analytics platform SoSoValue, funds attracted more than $568 million during the previous week. The week before that, at the end of February, inflows totaled about $787 million.
As a result, total investments in BTC ETFs have exceeded $2.1 billion over the past three weeks. This indicates a gradual recovery in demand after a period of outflows earlier in the year. Most of the capital continues to flow into the largest funds — BlackRock’s IBIT and Fidelity’s FBTC. These two products consistently hold leading positions in terms of inflows.
BTC price has not yet reacted to rising demand
Despite the increase in ETF demand, the price of BTC has not yet shown comparable growth. Over the past two weeks, the cryptocurrency has twice failed to hold above the $74,000 level. This level remains a key resistance point for the market.
At the time of publication, BTC was trading around $70,748. The price has remained nearly unchanged over the past 24 hours. However, the asset has gained about 5% over the past week, according to CoinGecko data. Rising ETF inflows may signal a gradual return of institutional capital to the market. Historically, such flows have often preceded stronger BTC price movements.
Recently we wrote that the amount of Bitcoin held on cryptocurrency exchanges has dropped to its lowest level since late 2017. On-chain data shows that after peaking in early 2020, the share of Bitcoin on exchange wallets has been steadily decreasing without interruption.
