US spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) have recorded their first five consecutive days of inflows in 2026, signaling renewed investor interest after a volatile start to the year. The funds collectively attracted around $767.32 million during the week, marking the strongest sustained inflow period so far this year.

The positive momentum reflects growing institutional participation even as global markets remain cautious due to geopolitical and macroeconomic pressures.

Strong Finish Caps the Week

The inflow streak concluded with $180.33 million entering spot Bitcoin ETFs on Friday. The week’s strongest single day came on Tuesday, when the funds brought in $250.92 million.

Data from SoSoValue shows that the steady inflows throughout the week helped extend a positive trend that had been absent for much of early 2026, when the funds experienced several days of outflows amid market uncertainty.

A similar run of inflows was last seen in late November 2025. During that period, from Nov. 25 to Dec. 2, spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded five consecutive days of inflows totaling $284.61 million.

The latest streak significantly surpasses that earlier figure, suggesting stronger investor participation compared with the end of last year.

Bitcoin ETFs Hold Over $91 Billion in Assets

With the latest inflows, US spot Bitcoin ETFs now manage $91.83 billion in net assets. Since their launch, the funds have accumulated $56.14 billion in total net inflows.

Trading activity also remained strong. The products collectively recorded around $4.93 billion in trading volume during the day, indicating continued market engagement from both institutional and retail participants.

Market observers say consistent inflows into these funds often reflect growing confidence among investors who prefer regulated financial products to gain exposure to Bitcoin.

Ether ETFs Extend Positive Momentum

Spot Ether ETFs also experienced steady inflows during the same period. On Friday alone, the funds recorded $26.69 million in new investments, extending their inflow streak to four days.

The positive run began earlier in the week. On Tuesday, Ether ETFs added $12.59 million, followed by $57.01 million on Wednesday. Thursday saw the strongest inflow of the streak at $115.85 million.

Over the four-day period, these funds attracted approximately $212.14 million. The renewed inflows helped offset earlier outflows seen in March.

So far, cumulative net inflows into US spot Ether ETFs have reached $11.79 billion. Total net assets held by these funds now stand at $12.26 billion, with about $1.30 billion in daily trading value.

The sustained inflows mark the first extended period of positive momentum for both Bitcoin and Ether ETFs in 2026.

Geopolitical Tensions Keep Bitcoin Range-Bound

Despite the renewed inflows into crypto ETFs, Bitcoin’s price has remained largely stable within a narrow range.

Analysts point to rising geopolitical tensions in the Middle East and volatility in energy markets as key factors affecting investor sentiment. Concerns around the Strait of Hormuz and rising oil prices have added uncertainty to the broader financial landscape.

According to analysts at Bitunix, these developments have also influenced expectations around US Federal Reserve policy. Markets are now less confident about aggressive interest rate cuts, leading investors to prioritize short-term liquidity over long-term risk exposure.

Bitcoin is currently facing resistance near the $71,300 level, where derivatives data shows a concentration of short liquidity. A larger cluster of resistance is present between $72,000 and $73,500.

On the downside, support appears around $69,000, with deeper liquidation levels close to $68,800. Analysts suggest that without a major macroeconomic trigger, Bitcoin could continue trading within this range in the near term.

While price movement remains restrained for now, the steady inflows into spot ETFs indicate that investor demand for regulated crypto exposure remains strong.
