U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs have just completed six consecutive sessions in the green. On Monday, August 24, inflows reached $337.6 million, according to SoSoValue data. The total for the series: $2.26 billion.
That’s solid.
Six Sessions, $2.26 Billion, and a Rapidly Shrinking 2026 Deficit
The previous week had already made headlines — $1.92 billion in net inflows, the best weekly result since October 2025. Since their launch, Bitcoin ETFs have accumulated approximately $54 billion in total net inflows. Their assets under management? $98.56 billion. It’s massive. And it’s still growing.
What’s really changing is the trajectory for 2026. The net deficit for the year has fallen to about $2.57 billion. At the start of the year, outflows were largely dominant. Now, they are quickly retreating. Not yet erased, but the trend is clear.
No mystery about the timing, either. Bitcoin was close to $80,700 on Monday when the figures were released, after a rise of more than 20% in a week. Prices drive flows, flows drive prices — the usual loop, but it’s turning in the right direction for now.
Ether and XRP Also Riding the Wave
Bitcoin isn’t the only one attracting capital. Spot Ether ETFs also recorded a sixth consecutive positive session, with $115.6 million on Monday. Over the six sessions, the total reaches about $812.8 million.
But be careful: Ether remains in the red since January. Cumulative net outflows since the beginning of the year still approach $1.30 billion. The recovery is real, but the catch-up is not finished. Far from it.
XRP, on the other hand, is advancing more quietly. XRP ETFs attracted $13.8 million on Monday. Cumulative inflows since January are approaching $400 million. And since their launch, the total reaches $1.57 billion. Not the same volumes as Bitcoin or Ether, but the direction is the same.
It seems like something is happening across the entire crypto market, not just Bitcoin.
Fear & Greed at 74: The Fear Has Changed Sides
The Crypto Fear & Greed Index rose to 74 on Monday. It’s its highest level since October 2025. And more importantly, it’s the first time in months that the index has moved into the “greed” zone — after a long period stuck in “fear” territory.
It says something about the general sentiment. Investors who stayed on the sidelines, cautious, reducing their positions — they are coming back. Or at least, some of them.
Not clear if it’s sustainable. Probably too early to tell.
What is certain: the context has changed quickly. A few weeks ago, outflows from Bitcoin ETFs were accumulating. The market was tense. Now, six consecutive green sessions, a Bitcoin above $80,000, a sentiment index at its highest in ten months. The reversal is clear.
But crypto markets are used to surprising in both directions. A series of six positive sessions is good. It doesn’t guarantee a seventh.
Ether ETFs remind us of this: even with six days of positive flows, the annual balance remains negative. The path to erase the early-year outflows is still long. The $1.30 billion deficit won’t disappear in a week or two, even with solid inflows.
For Bitcoin ETFs, the 2026 deficit of $2.57 billion is shrinking faster. If the pace of the last sessions continues — and that’s a big “if” — the annual balance could turn positive in the coming weeks. But the market makes no promises.
The next SoSoValue data will be closely watched. Traders are looking to see if Monday’s $337.6 million was a peak or a floor for the series. And institutions, they are watching Bitcoin: will it hold above $80,000, or is it a flash in the pan?
The Fear & Greed Index at 74 is greed — but not yet euphoria. There’s room before the extreme levels that often precede reversals. For now, $98.56 billion in assets under management in Bitcoin ETFs, and the counter keeps ticking.
