Bitcoin ETF sees nearly $754 million in weekly inflows

The US Bitcoin ETFs are showing a significant inflow this week. In total, 11,792 BTC flowed into ETF providers, amounting to approximately $754 million in direct buying pressure. This makes it the second-best week of the year for the spot ETFs, after months of predominantly negative flows.

Bitcoin is available at OKX and Bybit.

At a glance:

• Bitcoin ETFs record 11,792 BTC in inflows in one week, worth approximately $754 million.
• The average purchase price of ETF positions is around $72.000, meaning they now sit on an average paper loss of roughly 10%.
• Since the October peak, the cumulative loss on ETF positions has grown to more than $10.5 billion.

Largest inflow in months

In recent weeks, the Bitcoin ETFs saw almost continuous outflows, particularly since May. That trend now appears to be temporarily reversing. Analyst Darkfost shares data from CryptoQuant via X, showing that this week marks the second-largest weekly inflow of 2026. The recent run of positive ETF days appears to be reaching its peak.

Bitcoin itself trades at $64.955 at the time of writing, a slight increase of 0.6% over the past 24 hours. This week’s inflow thus coincides with a price that remains well below the record levels of late 2025.

ETF holders sit on losses on average

Despite this week’s positive inflows, the situation for ETF investors as a whole is far from rosy. The average realised price for ETF positions is around $72.000. That is roughly 10% above the current price, meaning the average ETF investor is now running a paper loss.

Darkfost states that the cumulative loss on ETF positions has grown to more than $10.5 billion since the asset-management peak in October. In early July, a negative record of $11.8 billion was even briefly reached. Whether the recent inflow marks the beginning of a sustainable recovery remains an open question, according to the analyst. Earlier, $626 million had also flowed into the ETFs, although that movement proved unsustainable at the time.

Demand for Bitcoin ETFs must persist

The CryptoQuant chart shows that weekly ETF flows in 2026 have been highly volatile. Green weeks alternate with periods of significant outflows, with some weeks seeing more than 30,000 BTC in net outflows. The inflow peak was visible in early January, with a record week of around 15,000 BTC.

Whether this week’s inflow marks a turning point depends heavily on the broader market sentiment. Bitcoin has been under pressure in recent weeks due to geopolitical developments and signals from the US Federal Reserve. As long as the price remains below the average purchase price of ETF investors, there is pressure to close positions in the event of a potential price rise.
