U.S. spot bitcoin ETFs recorded nearly $1 billion in net inflows Monday as bitcoin extended its recovery and climbed to its highest price since January.
Bitcoin was trading at about $85,990.84, while ETF demand accelerated to levels last seen during periods when the cryptocurrency was trading near record highs.
According to SoSoValue, the funds attracted $998.95 million in net inflows on Monday. It was their strongest daily inflow since Oct. 6, 2025, when bitcoin reached an all-time high near $126,200.
The latest figure ranks as the ninth-largest daily inflow since U.S. spot bitcoin ETFs launched on Jan. 11, 2024. BlackRock’s IBIT accounted for the largest share at $381.37 million, followed by Ark’s ARKB with $289.12 million and Fidelity’s FBTC with $238.84 million.
Monday’s buying extended the ETF sector’s inflow streak to three days, marking the first three-session run in two weeks. The renewed demand comes only days after bitcoin faced pressure from the Senate’s failure to advance the CLARITY Act and the Federal Reserve’s interest-rate increase.
September’s ETF inflows have now reached $1.31 billion, adding to the $3.52 billion recorded in August. The continued purchases indicate sustained institutional demand even as investors contend with broader macroeconomic risks, including concerns surrounding government debt across developed economies.
Bitcoin has risen 44% this quarter to roughly $85,000, outperforming other major assets such as gold.
Despite the recent improvement, however, spot bitcoin ETFs remain $450 million in the red on a year-to-date basis, showing that the latest surge in demand has yet to fully reverse earlier outflows.
