U.S. Bitcoin ETFs Record Strong Inflows as Institutions Return

Spot bitcoin exchange-traded funds in the United States posted a total daily net inflow of $552.78 million on Thursday, signaling renewed institutional interest in the cryptocurrency.

BlackRock and Fidelity Lead the Rally

Data from SoSoValue shows that BlackRock’s IBIT captured the largest inflows at $366.2 million, followed by Fidelity’s FBTC with $134.7 million. Bitwise’s BITB added $40.43 million, while other issuers such as VanEck, Invesco, and Franklin Templeton also reported positive flows.

Four Consecutive Days of Growth

Thursday marked the fourth straight day of inflows for U.S. spot bitcoin ETFs, bringing the cumulative total to $1.7 billion over that period. According to Vincent Liu, CIO at Kronos Research, this pattern suggests “a capital rotation back into Bitcoin, reflecting both macro stability and positioning ahead of the Fed’s rate decision.”

August Outflows Contrast with September Momentum

Despite the recent strength, August had been difficult for bitcoin ETFs, which saw $751 million in outflows, making it their third-worst month since launching in January. By contrast, Ethereum ETFs enjoyed their second-strongest month with $3.87 billion in inflows, reinforcing the narrative of capital rotation from BTC to ETH.

Ethereum ETFs Regain Strength

The trend shifted again in early September. While spot Ethereum ETFs opened the month with several days of negative flows, they returned to positive territory on Thursday with $113.12 million in net inflows.

Crypto Market Rebounds

Bitcoin rose 1.04% over the past 24 hours to trade at $115,455 early Friday morning, while ether gained 2.87% to reach $4,553. The broader crypto market advanced 1.81%, according to The Block’s data. Liu noted that continued ETF inflows could push bitcoin past its all-time high, provided macroeconomic conditions remain stable.

Investors Await Fed Decision

Attention now turns to the Federal Open Market Committee meeting on September 16–17. Market data from CME Group’s FedWatch Tool indicates a 92.5% probability of a 25 basis point rate cut, and a 7.5% chance of a 50 basis point cut.
