Spot Bitcoin ETFs (exchange-traded funds) in the United States have posted five consecutive days of capital inflows for the first time in 2026. This good run of form comes as a relief after what has been a turbulent start to the year for BTC and the broader cryptocurrency market.
While the premier cryptocurrency still appears to be struggling in terms of price action, the demand conditions — especially in the US — seem to be improving steadily. According to the latest market data, the Bitcoin ETFs registered approximately $767.32 million in net inflows over the past week.
On Friday, March 13, the US-based Bitcoin exchange-traded funds recorded $180.33 million in total net inflows. This latest round of capital influx marked the fifth day in an inflow streak that started earlier in the week and the longest so far this year.
Recent market data shows that BlackRock’s Bitcoin Trust (with the ticker IBIT) contributed the majority (roughly $143.59 million) of the total net inflow on Friday. This was followed by the $23.24 million contribution of Fidelity Wise Origin Bitcoin Fund (FBTC) on the day.
VanEck Bitcoin ETF (HODL), Bitwise Bitcoin ETF (BITB), and Ark 21Shares Bitcoin ETF (ARKB) (adding $8.05 million, $3.09 million, and $2.36 million in value, respectively) were the only other Bitcoin ETFs that recorded any activity on Friday. Interestingly, this Friday’s performance only pales in comparison to the $250.92 in the total net inflows seen on Tuesday, March 10.
As mentioned earlier, these daily performances brought the exchange-traded funds’ weekly record to a net total of around $767.32 million. This week’s performance marks the third consecutive week of positive inflows for the US-based Bitcoin ETFs.

According to SoSoValue data, the BTC-linked investment products posted more than $568 million in total net inflows in the previous week. Meanwhile, the exchange-traded funds added more than $787 million in value in the final week of February.
While the spot Bitcoin ETFs have been seeing increased demand in recent weeks, there has not been concomitant growth in the premier cryptocurrency’s value within the same period. More specifically, the price of BTC has faced rejection twice around the $74,000 resistance level over the last two weeks.
As of this writing, the price of BTC stands at around $70,748, reflecting no significant movement in the past 24 hours. According to data from CoinGecko, the flagship cryptocurrency has jumped by nearly 5% in the past seven days.
