Bitcoin ETFs turn positive for the year as $1.1 billion floods in — led by IBIT’s $871 million surge

Bitcoin ETFs are back in the black for the year, with $2.3 billion in net inflows through the end of last week — a turnaround powered by $1.9 billion in fresh money pouring into Bitcoin funds alone. The shift comes after a $1.1 billion wave of weekly inflows, the largest since January, with iShares Bitcoin ETF (IBIT) accounting for $871 million of that total. IBIT now leads all crypto ETFs with $1.72 billion in year-to-date inflows. The momentum has lifted the entire Bitcoin ETF category out of negative territory, overcoming earlier outflows that had weighed on sentiment. Fidelity’s Wise Origin Bitcoin Fund (FBTC) followed with $98 million in weekly inflows, though it still lags with $1.58 billion in net outflows for the year. Grayscale’s GBTC and ARK 21Shares’ ARKB have also bled capital so far in 2026. Ethereum ETFs remain in the red with $130 million in net outflows, even as Ripple and Solana ETFs pulled in $178 million and $218 million, respectively. Despite the institutional demand signaled by inflows, IBIT’s price dropped 3.2% at Monday’s open as Bitcoin traded just under $71,000, reflecting persistent volatility in the underlying asset.
