Bitcoin ETFs attract $999 million in a single day

Spot Bitcoin ETFs attracted $999 million in new inflows on Monday, the largest daily inflow since October 2025. It was also the ninth-largest daily inflow ever since the launch of Bitcoin ETFs in January 2024. At the same time, $270 million flowed into Ethereum ETFs, also their largest daily inflow in months. Bitcoin briefly rose above $87.000 in the process, its highest level since January.

Bitcoin is available at OKX and Bybit.

In brief:

• Bitcoin ETFs received $999 million on Monday, the ninth-largest daily inflow ever.
• BlackRock’s IBIT accounted for $381 million of that inflow.
• Ethereum ETFs also saw their largest daily inflow since October 2025, at $270 million.

BlackRock attracts the most capital

Monday’s inflow was led by BlackRock’s Bitcoin ETF, IBIT, which raised $381 million. This meant BlackRock accounted for almost 40% of the total daily inflow into Bitcoin ETFs.

Analyst Scott Melker notes that institutional demand for crypto is clearly returning. In September, Bitcoin ETFs have so far attracted a total of $1.3 billion. That is considerably less than the $3.5 billion that came in in August, but Monday’s peak shows that large players are actively entering again.

Bitcoin climbs to highest level since January

Partly due to the strong inflow, the Bitcoin price briefly rose above $87.000, a level not reached since January. At the time of writing, Bitcoin is trading at $86.500, an increase of 1.4% over the past 24 hours.

The simultaneous $270 million inflow into Ethereum ETFs indicates that increased risk appetite is broadly shared. For Ethereum too, this is the largest daily inflow in months.

Institutional demand picks up after quiet period

The substantial daily inflow into Bitcoin ETFs follows a period of relative calm. The previous comparable peak dates from October 2025, meaning that almost a year passed before daily inflows reached this level again.

Whether this revival continues depends partly on broader market conditions. To that end, analysts are closely monitoring, among other things, geopolitical developments and the behaviour of large investors.
