U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs pulled about $731 million on Thursday, their strongest single-day haul since January, according to SoSoValue. The session was more than three times the size of any day in the 11-day late-August inflow streak.
Why it matters
BlackRock's IBIT captured roughly $454 million, followed by ARKB at $138 million and Fidelity's FBTC at $74 million. Grayscale's two products added $57 million combined, while VanEck's HODL and WisdomTree's BTCW were the only funds to post outflows, at $20 million and $5 million.
Total net assets closed at $103.34 billion, equal to just over 6% of Bitcoin's market capitalization. Cumulative net inflows since the January 2024 launches reached $55.44 billion. At that scale, daily ETF flows are a direct read on whether institutional demand is building or fading.
Market impact
The print reversed Tuesday's $236 million outflow, when IBIT alone accounted for $201 million in redemptions. The same fund has now driven both the largest outflow and largest inflow of the past week, making concentration a key detail in the headline number.
Friday is the next test. A second consecutive session above $500 million would mark the first sustained institutional bid since the summer. The next print will show whether Thursday was an isolated surge or the start of a broader return of institutional demand.
