Bitcoin ETF flows swing back to net inflows in 2026 as sentiment firms

Odaily Planet Daily cited the head of BNY Mellon's ETF business as saying Bitcoin ETF flows have returned to net inflows this year, pushing the broader picture back into positive territory. Bloomberg data shows aggregate cash flows for spot Bitcoin ETFs have turned positive across all periods for the first time in months. The products had seen outflows amid softer crypto prices and macro uncertainty, though the pullbacks were relatively modest. So far, the 12 spot Bitcoin ETFs posted about $335 million of net inflows in a single day. Monthly inflows have topped $2.1 billion, while year-to-date net inflows are around $1.8 billion. BlackRock's IBIT led the gains, drawing roughly $246 million over the past day and $1.9 billion for the month. Grayscale's GBTC continued to see net outflows.
