Bitcoin exchange-traded funds attracted a further $714.75m on Tuesday, taking total inflows over four consecutive sessions to about $2.3bn as bitcoin held near $86,000.
The latest surge follows combined outflows of $746.31m on 15 and 16 September, marking a sharp reversal in investor demand. Tuesday’s inflow came one day after bitcoin ETFs recorded their largest single-day inflow of 2026.
BlackRock’s IBIT led the market with $350.35m, followed by Fidelity’s FBTC with $257.42m. Morgan Stanley’s MSBT received $99.01m, while Grayscale’s Bitcoin Mini Trust added $4.95m.
VanEck’s HODL recorded $2.44m of inflows and ARKB, operated by Ark & 21Shares, brought in $573,010. No bitcoin ETF registered an outflow.
Trading value across the funds reached $2.82bn, while combined net assets closed at $110.84bn.
Ether funds also remained in positive territory, taking in $162.31m across five ETFs. BlackRock’s ETHA accounted for $88.13m, with Fidelity’s FETH attracting $33.64m and Grayscale’s Ether Mini Trust receiving $27.31m.
Grayscale’s ETHE added $10.39m, while BlackRock’s ETHB brought in $2.84m. Ether ETF trading value totalled $957.36m and net assets ended the session at $17.92bn.
The buying extended to other digital assets. Solana ETFs recorded $28.87m in inflows, led by Bitwise’s BSOL with $26.38m. Grayscale’s GSOL added $1.79m and Fidelity’s FSOL attracted $696,240, taking total net assets to $1.77bn.
XRP ETFs received $20.02m. Bitwise’s XRP fund took in $19.16m, while Franklin’s XRPZ added $862,200. Trading value reached $95.70m and net assets rose to $1.73bn as XRP moved towards $1.60.
Grayscale’s ZCSH was responsible for $32.81m of inflows into ZEC ETFs, lifting their net assets to $979.48m. HYPE ETFs recorded no net flows and ended with assets of $521.34m.
Bloomberg senior ETF analyst Eric Balchunas highlighted the recent pattern of flows into IBIT, joking that it had created a “Double Bird” formation. He compared the shape with a bullish technical signal and said the rebound reflected the fund’s strong recovery after recent scepticism.
The renewed inflows have coincided with bitcoin’s recovery towards $86,000, with institutional demand and price momentum currently moving in the same direction.
A bitcoin options trader targeted a price of $95,000 by 30 October, paying $3.17m upfront.
