US Bitcoin ETFs see highest daily inflows of 2026
US spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) recorded nearly $1 billion in net inflows on Monday. An ETF is an investment fund that trades on traditional stock exchanges, allowing investors to track the price of an asset like Bitcoin. This $998.9 million total represents the largest single-day inflow for these funds so far in 2026.
The previous high for the year was $844 million, set on January 14. This surge also marks the most significant daily investment into these funds since October 6, 2025, when they attracted more than $1.2 billion.
Key highlights from the surge
- Daily net inflows reached $998.9 million on Monday.
- Bitcoin's price briefly crossed the $87,200 mark during the same period.
- Spot Ether ETFs also hit a 2026 record with approximately $270 million in daily inflows.
