Spot bitcoin ETFs draw $998.95 million, ninth-largest inflow ever

Bitcoin has risen 44% to $85,000 this quarter and has outperformed every major asset. U.S.-listed spot bitcoin ETFs recorded a net inflow of $998.95 million on Monday, according to SoSoValue data. It was the largest inflow since Oct. 6, 2025, when bitcoin reached a record high of roughly $126,200. Monday's inflow was also the ninth-largest since the ETFs began trading on Jan. 11, 2024. BlackRock's IBIT led the inflows with $381.37 million. Ark's ARKB followed with $289.12 million, and Fidelity's FBTC recorded $238.84 million. The inflow marked the first three-day streak of gains in two weeks. It came days after a failed Senate cloture vote on the Clarity Act and a Federal Reserve interest-rate increase. The inflow brought the month-to-date total to $1.31 billion, following August's $3.52 billion inflow. The trend was characterized as a vote of confidence from institutions and suggested strong institutional interest in bitcoin despite wider macroeconomic tensions, including fiscal debt concerns across the advanced world.
