ETFs pull in $998.95M
U.S.-listed spot bitcoin exchange-traded funds drew a net $998.95 million on Monday, the largest daily inflow since bitcoin reached a record high on Oct. 6, 2025.
BlackRock’s IBIT led Monday’s inflows with $381.37 million, followed by Ark’s ARKB with $289.12 million and Fidelity’s FBTC with $238.84 million.
SoSoValue data showed Monday’s inflow was also the ninth-largest since the ETFs began trading on Jan. 11, 2024, and it lifted the month-to-date tally to $1.31 billion after August’s $3.52 billion inflow.
Bitcoin rose 44% to $85,000 this quarter, and the ETFs’ inflow came after bitcoin absorbed a failed Senate cloture vote on the Clarity Act and a Fed interest-rate increase.
The inflow marked the first three consecutive days of gains for two weeks, and it was framed as a vote of confidence from institutions as bitcoin rallied to its highest since January.
Price tops $85,000
Bitcoin jumped more than 5% on Monday to its highest level in eight months, climbing above $85,000 as exchange-traded fund inflows improved risk appetite. Bitcoin rose to $85,222 in early New York trading before retreating to around $85,117, up 4.7% after gains of nearly 6% last week.
Chris Busham of IG said, “The financial markets are rediscovering risk appetite after being weighed down by concerns about government bond yields, debt pileups, and the possibility of a renewed round of monetary tightening by the world’s largest central bank.” Alex Kuptsikevich of FXPro said the crypto market’s total capitalization rose to about $2.8 trillion, the highest since late January, and he added that buyers were once again dominating the crypto market since Sunday.
What comes next
Despite Monday’s inflow, spot ETFs were down $450 million on a year-to-date basis, and the same reporting said bulls still had work to do.
Bitcoin’s rally also faced a macro backdrop in which oil stayed above $100 per barrel and U.S. Treasuries yields were rising, according to the same account that tracked the move above $85,000.
Investors were watching this week’s summit between U.S. President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping, because any progress in cooling trade tensions could lift high-risk assets including cryptocurrencies.
Jeff Me, Chief Operating Officer at BTS Exchange, said that any statements leaning toward tightening or easing by Federal Reserve officials could affect the market this week, keeping attention on policy signals alongside ETF flows.
