US spot Bitcoin ETFs kicked off this week with $532 million in single-day crypto inflows on Monday, led by BlackRock’s IBIT at $335 million and Fidelity’s FBTC at $184 million. That strong start followed a week that nearly ended in the red — saved only by a massive Friday session that kept a five-week winning streak alive.

But the number masks a turbulent stretch. Crypto exchange-traded products bled nearly $620 million from Monday through Thursday before a single Friday session brought in $737 million, flipping the week to positive. According to CoinShares head of research James Butterfill, Friday’s haul ranked among the largest single-day inflows of 2026 and reflected “a sharp improvement in risk appetite.” Total assets under management held at $155 billion. The five-week run now totals $4 billion — the longest and largest inflow streak of the year, surpassing a previous high of close to $3 billion set in March. Bitcoin Leads, Ethereum Stumbles Bitcoin products drew $192 million in inflows last week, bringing year-to-date flows to $4.2 billion. That figure, though positive, came in well below the prior three weeks’ average of nearly $1 billion. Short-Bitcoin products saw modest inflows of $6 million. Ethereum told a different story. The asset logged $81 million in outflows, ending a three-week inflow streak that had topped $190 million each week. Reports from CoinShares noted that the number of assets attracting inflows narrowed from nine to just four during the week — a sign that investor interest pulled back before recovering on Friday. Regionally, the US recorded almost $48 million in inflows, a steep drop from $1.1 billion the week before. Germany followed with $43.8 million, and Canada added $16 million. Bitcoin Crosses $80,000 Again The Monday surge in Bitcoin ETF inflows came as Bitcoin climbed back above $80,000 for the first time in over three months. Data shows the move followed improving market conditions tied to the US-Iran ceasefire agreement reached on April 8.

Whether last week’s razor-thin positive finish signals durable strength or a one-day anomaly may depend on how broadly investor interest spreads beyond the handful of assets currently drawing attention.
