Spot Bitcoin ETFs Add $368M in Three Sessions as BTC Rebounds

U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs posted another day of net buying on Thursday, drawing $79.2 million and extending inflows to three straight sessions. Combined with $181 million on Tuesday and $108 million on Wednesday, the three-day tally reached roughly $368 million, offering a clearer rebound signal after recent pressure. Bitcoin briefly traded above $65,000 earlier in the week before easing to about $62,851. The token remains down roughly 28% year to date, underscoring that ETF demand has returned but price momentum is still fragile. The latest inflows also improve the month’s positioning. July net flows turned positive after June saw $4.51 billion in outflows and May recorded $2.4 billion of withdrawals. Cumulative net inflows across U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs stand near $51.2 billion, with total assets under management around $77.7 billion. Even so, the category remains down about $5.4 billion in net flows for 2026, and three strong sessions have not fully offset two difficult months. Thursday’s buying was more broadly shared across issuers. Bitcoin funds took in $79.1 million, led by BlackRock's IBIT (+$33.4 million), Fidelity's FBTC (+$30.7 million) and Bitwise's BITB (+$15 million). Other products were largely unchanged, including ARKB, BTCO, EZBC, BRRR, HODL, BTCW, MSBT, GBTC and Grayscale's BTC product. The broader participation is notable, as Fidelity and Bitwise accounted for more than half of the day’s inflow, reducing reliance on a single dominant fund. Flows across crypto ETFs were mixed. Ether ETFs posted $28 million in net outflows on Thursday after two positive sessions earlier in the week, while Solana ETFs added a modest $1.7 million. In total, Bitcoin, Ether and Solana products saw $52.8 million of net inflows for the session. Ether's pullback was driven by outflows from FETH, ETHE and Grayscale's ETH product, with ETHW the only Ether fund in positive territory. The divergence highlights that institutional demand is not moving uniformly across assets. The next key test is whether Bitcoin's multi-issuer inflow streak continues and whether Ether's outflow proves temporary, especially as ETF flows increasingly serve as a real-time gauge of regulated appetite when spot prices struggle to turn inflows into sustained upside.
