Crypto exchange-traded funds recorded another week of net inflows, extending their positive run to six consecutive weeks as investor demand for digital assets shows signs of strengthening.
The funds attracted about US$1.3 billion in inflows last week, following US$3.3 billion the previous week. Combined inflows over the six-week period have reached about US$6.8 billion.
BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust, known by its ticker IBIT, has been a major recipient of the renewed demand, attracting about US$3.4 billion over the same period.
The latest figures have lifted the four-week average of crypto ETF inflows to around US$1.5 billion, its highest level since November 2025.
The sustained inflows point to stronger demand from investors using exchange-traded products to gain exposure to cryptocurrencies without directly holding the underlying assets. Bitcoin ETFs have also seen renewed buying in recent weeks, although flows can change quickly as market conditions shift.
The improvement comes after a more difficult period for crypto investment products earlier in 2026. Bitcoin ETFs had recorded sizeable outflows during parts of the year, showing that recent inflows have occurred against a backdrop of considerable market volatility.
BlackRock’s IBIT has remained the largest US spot Bitcoin ETF and has frequently accounted for a sizeable share of investor flows. Its performance has therefore become an important indicator of institutional demand for Bitcoin through regulated investment products.
The latest figures suggest investor appetite is recovering, although sustained inflows will depend on broader market conditions, including interest rates, regulation and cryptocurrency prices.
For now, the six-week run provides a clear indication that money is moving back into crypto investment products after months of uneven demand. Whether the trend can continue remains dependent on how investors respond to the next phase of the market.
