US Bitcoin ETFs Post Biggest Inflow of 2026 as Price Tops $87,000

US spot Bitcoin exchange traded funds pulled in nearly $1 billion in a single day on Monday, marking their strongest showing of the year as bitcoin’s price briefly climbed above $87,000.

Record-Setting Inflows

The funds attracted just under $1 billion in net inflows, surpassing the previous 2026 high set in mid-January and marking the largest singlevday inflow since late 2025. Despite the strong showing, the funds remain slightly negative in cumulative flows for the year so far. Major issuers led the inflows, with the largest funds from BlackRock, ARK, and Fidelity accounting for the bulk of Monday’s total.

Bitcoin Price Momentum Builds

Bitcoin traded near $85,000 at the time of reporting, up sharply over the past 24 hours and more than 12 percent over the past month, after briefly touching a higher intraday level. One market analyst noted that bitcoin had moved above its 365 day moving average, a technical signal some view as confirmation of a new bull market phase.

US spot ether ETFs recorded their largest daily inflow of the year as well, while XRP-focused funds saw no net flows on the day, leaving their cumulative inflows unchanged since launch.
