Bitcoin ETF consecutive gains approach October record, though volumes significantly lower

Spot Bitcoin ETFs in the United States attract $1.2 billion across a seven-day period, significantly below the $6 billion nine-day run witnessed in October 2025, while XRP ETFs return to positive territory.

Exchange-traded funds tied to Bitcoin spot prices in the United States have maintained their positive flow momentum for seven straight trading sessions, representing the most extended consecutive period since October 2025.

According to SoSoValue data, spot Bitcoin (BTC) ETFs attracted an additional $199.4 million on Monday, pushing the cumulative seven-day total to approximately $1.2 billion. While the continuous inflows indicate sustained appetite from institutional participants, the aggregate figures fall substantially short of the approximately $6 billion recorded during the comparable October 2025 streak.

Trading activity across these funds declined to $2.6 billion on Monday, even as combined assets under management for Bitcoin ETFs rose to $96.7 billion. Year-to-date net flows continue to show negative territory, driven by $1.8 billion in aggregate monthly withdrawals against $1.7 billion in total contributions.

This recovery in ETF activity has aligned with a wider resurgence across cryptocurrency investment vehicles, which accumulated approximately $2.7 billion throughout three consecutive weeks, boosting year-to-date contributions to around $1.2 billion, data from CoinShares indicates.
