The money kept coming.
A day after bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) posted their largest single-day inflow of 2026, investors added another $714.75 million. That pushed cumulative inflows over the past four sessions to roughly $2.3 billion and reinforced the sharp reversal from last week’s heavy redemptions.
Blackrock’s IBIT led Tuesday with $350.35 million, while Fidelity’s FBTC followed with $257.42 million. Morgan Stanley’s MSBT attracted $99.01 million. Grayscale’s Bitcoin Mini Trust added $4.95 million, Vaneck’s HODL gained $2.44 million, and Ark & 21Shares’ ARKB brought in $573,010.
No bitcoin ETF recorded an outflow. Trading value reached $2.82 billion, while combined net assets closed at $110.84 billion. Sustained demand comes as bitcoin’s price holds near $86,000.

Ether ETFs also stayed firmly in positive territory, attracting $162.31 million across five funds.
Blackrock’s ETHA accounted for $88.13 million. Fidelity’s FETH added $33.64 million, while Grayscale’s Ether Mini Trust drew $27.31 million. Grayscale’s ETHE contributed another $10.39 million, and Blackrock’s ETHB added $2.84 million.
Ether ETF trading activity totaled $957.36 million, with net assets finishing at $17.92 billion. The continued buying adds to a broader pickup in institutional demand after last week’s volatile crypto market.
Capital also moved further down the digital-asset curve.
Solana ETFs attracted $28.87 million. Bitwise’s BSOL led with $26.38 million, while Grayscale’s GSOL added $1.79 million and Fidelity’s FSOL brought in $696,240. Net assets closed at $1.77 billion.
XRP ETFs recorded $20.02 million in inflows. Bitwise’s XRP fund captured $19.16 million, while Franklin’s XRPZ added $862,200. Trading value reached $95.70 million, with net assets rising to $1.73 billion. The renewed demand for XRP ETFs gives investors another institutional signal as XRP’s price climbed toward $1.60.
ZEC ETFs also had a strong session. Grayscale’s ZCSH attracted $32.81 million, lifting net assets to $979.48 million. HYPE ETFs recorded no net flows, with assets closing at $521.34 million.
The speed of the turnaround has been remarkable, with bitcoin ETFs drawing about $2.3 billion across four consecutive inflow sessions. The streak follows combined outflows of $746.31 million on Sept. 15 and Sept. 16.
Bloomberg Senior ETF Analyst Eric Balchunas also pointed to the shape of IBIT’s recent flow pattern, joking that it had formed a “Double Bird” formation. He likened it to a bullish technical signal and said the rebound fits the fund’s sharp recovery after recent skepticism.
That swing has coincided with bitcoin recovering toward $86,000.
The next test is whether institutional demand can remain this strong while prices hold above their recent breakout levels. For now, ETF flows and price momentum are moving in the same direction.
