Bitcoin ETFs rebound as BlackRock leads fresh inflows

U.S.-listed spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds recovered on Monday after briefly slipping into withdrawals at the end of last week. The rebound was led overwhelmingly by BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust, while several altcoin-linked funds continued to draw steady demand. The move points to renewed appetite for crypto fund exposure after a short pause in Bitcoin allocations.

BlackRock dominates the Bitcoin ETF rebound

SoSoValue data showed that spot Bitcoin ETFs took in $216.7 million in net new money on Monday. That followed $201.8 million in outflows on Friday, when a nine-session inflow run came to an end. Over that earlier stretch, the funds absorbed more than $3 billion, underlining how quickly flows can build and fade in this market. BlackRock’s IBIT accounted for $205.9 million of Monday’s total, or almost all of the day’s inflows.

Bitcoin was trading near $78,700 at the time of writing, up about 1.5% over the previous 24 hours, according to CoinGecko. The price move was modest compared with the size of the ETF flow swing, but it kept the market near a level where institutional demand remains closely watched. Monday’s numbers suggest that the brief Friday pullback did not turn into a broader shift in sentiment.

Altcoin funds keep their streaks going

Ether-backed ETFs extended their inflow streak to 11 straight trading sessions. XRP funds and Solana funds each logged a 10th consecutive day of positive flows, adding to a run that has now outlasted Bitcoin’s latest pause. The persistence of those streaks indicates that investors continue to spread capital across multiple crypto assets rather than concentrating only on the largest token.

The pattern also shows that ETF demand has not been limited to one corner of the market. Bitcoin remains the main draw by size, but the continued inflows into Ether, XRP and Solana products have given the broader crypto fund segment a more durable base of support. For issuers, that means the market is still generating activity even when one product category sees a temporary reversal.

At the same time, the fresh Bitcoin inflows show that last week’s outflows did not erase the larger trend of active trading in these funds. A single session of withdrawals can interrupt a strong run, but it does not necessarily change the broader flow picture if buyers return quickly. Monday’s data point to a market that remains responsive and liquid, with institutional capital still rotating through the main crypto ETF products.
