Exchange-traded funds backed by spot Bitcoin show a new sign of stability after several months marked by capital outflows. In the United States, investors recorded a third consecutive session of net inflows, confirming renewed interest in this category of products. This development comes as the market tries to regain better balance after a difficult start to the year. Meanwhile, data show a gradual improvement in flows, despite a context where price performance remains under pressure.
In brief
US spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded 368 million dollars of net inflows in three consecutive sessions.
The cumulative inflows of these funds now reach 51.2 billion dollars, with 77.7 billion dollars in assets under management.
Bitcoin briefly crossed 65,000 dollars while July flows returned to positive territory.
Despite this improvement, spot ETFs still show a net flow deficit of 5.4 billion dollars since the beginning of 2026.
Bitcoin: Spot ETFs Post Three Consecutive Sessions of Inflows
US spot ETFs linked to Bitcoin recorded 79.2 million dollars of net inflows on Thursday. This performance extends a positive streak after 181 million dollars recorded on Tuesday, then 108 million dollars on Wednesday. In total, these three sessions represent about 368 million dollars of new capital, according to SoSoValue data.

Moreover, cumulative net inflows since the launch of these products now reach 51.2 billion dollars. Assets under management also increase to reach 77.7 billion dollars. At the same time, the price of bitcoin briefly exceeded the 65,000 dollars threshold on Wednesday, a first since the end of June. This price movement coincided with flows toward ETFs returning to a more favorable trajectory.
Flows Turn Positive After Several Challenging Months
Recent investments have allowed monthly flows of spot Bitcoin ETFs to return to positive territory during July. This improvement follows net outflows of 4.51 billion dollars in June and 2.4 billion dollars in May. If this momentum continues until the end of the month, July will become the first positive month since April, during which ETFs recorded 1.97 billion dollars of net inflows.
However, the annual balance remains negative. On Friday, net flows of US ETFs still showed a deficit of about 5.4 billion dollars since the beginning of 2026. At the same time, Bitcoin was trading around $63,400 at the time of writing, a decrease of about 28% since the start of the year. These figures show that the recovery of flows is not yet accompanied by a sustainable return in market performance.
The next sessions will allow verification of whether this investment resurgence is confirmed. Continued inflows could reinforce the momentum observed in ETFs, while bitcoin’s evolution will remain a key indicator to measure the strength of this trend. Market participants will also monitor the funds’ ability to maintain positive flows in the coming weeks.
