U.S.-based spot bitcoin exchange-traded funds brought in a net total of $998.95 million on Monday, marking their highest daily capital intake since bitcoin achieved its all-time high on October 6, 2025.
BlackRock’s fund, IBIT, captured the largest share of Monday’s inflows with $381.37 million, followed by Ark’s ARKB at $289.12 million and Fidelity’s FBTC at $238.84 million.
Bitcoin has climbed 44% to reach $85,000 during the current quarter, surpassing the performance of every other major asset.
As bitcoin’s valuation climbs, U.S. exchange-traded funds are attracting capital at a velocity reminiscent of the era when the cryptocurrency traded at peak values.
Based on statistics provided by SoSoValue, these financial products recorded a net positive flow of $998.95 million on Monday, representing the biggest single-day surge since October 6, 2025.
That specific date was when bitcoin touched a historic high of approximately $126,200.
Furthermore, the inflow on Monday stands as the ninth-highest since these funds officially commenced trading on January 11, 2024.
BlackRock’s IBIT spearheaded the capital capture with $381.37 million, trailed closely by Ark’s ARKB registering $289.12 million and Fidelity’s FBTC taking in $238.84 million.
Marking the initial three-day positive streak in two weeks, this influx functions as a strong indicator of institutional trust, arriving right after bitcoin successfully weathered a double blow consisting of a failed Senate cloture vote concerning the Clarity Act alongside an interest-rate hike from the Federal Reserve.
This latest wave of investment pushes the accumulated monthly sum to $1.31 billion, building upon August’s strong $3.52 billion net addition.
Such numbers point toward robust institutional dedication to the digital asset despite broader macroeconomic uncertainties, most notably growing fiscal debt anxieties across developed global economies.
Over the course of this quarter, bitcoin’s valuation has jumped 44% to trade at $85,000, beating out all competing major financial assets, including gold.
Nevertheless, proponents of the asset still have ground to recover.
Even with these recent capital additions, spot ETFs remain down by $450 million when calculated on a year-to-date trajectory.
