US spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) recorded their first seven-day inflow streak of 2026, attracting roughly $1.2 billion in fresh allocations this week.
The funds saw $199.4 million in net inflows on Tuesday, continuing the recent streak of institutional buying that kicked off earlier in the week and helped lift prices after weeks of sluggish performance.
The inflows were largely driven by a massive $169 million pouring into iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT), according to data curated by SoSoValue. Fidelity Wise Origin Bitcoin Fund (FBTC) followed with $24.4 million in fresh capital, while offerings from ARK Invest & 21Shares and VanEck also posted net inflows, underscoring broad-based investor demand.
With Tuesday’s inflows, spot Bitcoin ETFs have pulled in roughly $1.17 billion over the past seven trading days, extending a powerful wave of investor demand. The funds are now on track for a fourth straight week of net inflows— their longest weekly streak since September—signaling sustained momentum in the market.
The ETF rebound has aligned with a broader surge across crypto investment products, which have pulled in about $2.7 billion over three consecutive weeks, pushing year-to-date inflows to roughly $1.2 billion, as ZyCrypto reported earlier.
 
The bullish ETF flows are largely unaffected by the rising tensions in the Middle East around the Strait of Hormuz and soaring oil prices, indicating BTC’s growing role as a geopolitical hedge rather than just a risk asset.
Overall, the BTC ETFs now command $91.83 billion in net assets, with cumulative inflows climbing to $56.14 billion, while daily trading activity surged to around $4.93 billion—a clear sign of intensifying market participation.
Spot Altcoin ETFs Also Post Inflows
On Tuesday, spot Ethereum ETFs saw net inflows of $138.3 million, continuing a streak of six straight days of gains. XRP ETFs posted $4.64 million in inflows, marking their first increase since March 4, while Solana ETFs attracted $17.8 million.
Meanwhile, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) issued a 68-page guidance on Tuesday stating that most cryptocurrencies are not considered securities.
This move, seen as a landmark shift for the crypto industry, departs from the previous Gensler-era SEC approach, which aimed to treat certain tokens, including Ripple’s XRP, as securities.
