US spot Bitcoin ETFs extended their longest positive flow streak of 2026 on April 24, drawing net inflows for nine consecutive trading days and pulling in roughly $2.12 billion since April 14, per SoSoValue data. BlackRock's iShares Bitcoin Trust led the run with about $1.6 billion over the stretch, while Morgan Stanley's Bitcoin Trust added roughly $115 million and Grayscale's BTC product brought in more than $73 million. Total net assets across the US spot Bitcoin ETF complex have climbed back to about $101 billion, equivalent to roughly 6.57% of Bitcoin's market capitalization as BTC trades near $77,858, up around 11% over the past month.
Why it matters
The streak marks a clear shift after several months in which ETF demand had cooled from the pace seen during earlier stages of the spot-fund boom. Bloomberg ETF analyst Eric Balchunas noted that rolling flow periods for Bitcoin ETFs have turned positive again after months of weakness, with IBIT's recent intake ranking among the strongest across the broader ETF market. Ecoinometrics added that the 30-day rolling net inflows have turned higher after nearing outflow territory, signaling capital is returning rather than just short-covering.
The recovery gives Bitcoin a clearer support base than it had during the prior correction, with fresh demand behind the current rally. Still, Ecoinometrics flagged that the recovery has not yet reached the level that would more firmly validate a sustained breakout — its model points to roughly 50,000 BTC in net inflows over 30 days as the threshold at which the odds shift more decisively toward sustained positive returns.
Market impact
Cost-basis data underline why the $80,000 region is the next test. Bitwise figures put the aggregate cost basis for US spot Bitcoin ETF buyers at about $81,000 as of April 24, with IBIT's average buyer at roughly $80,200, Fidelity's FBTC at about $59,300 and Bitwise's BITB at about $55,400. That places a large share of recent ETF buyers close to breakeven as Bitcoin approaches $80,000 — a clean break could strengthen confidence among newer holders, while another rejection may invite profit-taking and hedging.
