US spot Bitcoin exchange traded funds saw a strong rebound Tuesday, attracting $257.7 million in net inflows as Bitcoin recovered to around $65,000. The turnaround followed $203.8 million in outflows a day earlier and marked the largest single day inflow since early February. The positive momentum helped push weekly flows back into net gains after five consecutive weeks of redemptions totaling roughly $3.8 billion.
Despite the improvement, total assets under management across US spot Bitcoin ETFs have declined significantly in 2026. Assets have fallen about 30.5%, sliding from approximately $117 billion at the start of the year to $81.3 billion, reflecting broader market weakness.
