US spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) have registered their first sustained inflow streak of 2026, attracting significant investor interest throughout the week. Over five consecutive trading days, the funds pulled in about $767.32 million in net inflows, marking the longest positive run so far this year.
The latest inflow trend highlights renewed institutional appetite for Bitcoin exposure through regulated financial products, even as global macroeconomic uncertainty continues to influence market sentiment.
Strong Weekly Inflows Boost Bitcoin ETF Assets
The inflow streak concluded on Friday with $180.33 million entering US spot Bitcoin ETFs. The momentum began earlier in the week and gained traction as investor demand increased.
Tuesday recorded the strongest inflow during the five day run, with the funds attracting $250.92 million. The consistent inflows throughout the week helped strengthen the overall asset base of the ETFs and reinforced investor confidence in the products.
Market data shows that US spot Bitcoin ETFs now hold $91.83 billion in net assets. Since their launch, the funds have accumulated total net inflows of $56.14 billion. Trading activity also remained high, with approximately $4.93 billion in value traded on Friday alone.

The previous comparable inflow streak occurred in late November 2025, when the funds recorded five consecutive days of net inflows between Nov. 25 and Dec. 2. During that period, the ETFs collectively attracted $284.61 million.
Ether ETFs Also See Renewed Investor Interest
Alongside Bitcoin ETFs, US spot Ether ETFs also experienced a positive inflow trend. The funds posted $26.69 million in net inflows on Friday, extending their own four day streak of gains.
The inflow run started on Tuesday with $12.59 million entering the funds. Investor interest picked up further on Wednesday, bringing in $57.01 million. Thursday marked the strongest day for Ether ETFs during the period, with $115.85 million in fresh inflows.
Across the four day stretch, spot Ether ETFs attracted a total of about $212.14 million. This recent recovery has helped reverse the outflows that were recorded earlier in March.
Cumulative net inflows into US spot Ether ETFs have now reached $11.79 billion, while total net assets across the funds stand at $12.26 billion. Trading activity on Friday was also strong, with around $1.30 billion in value traded.
Volatile Start to 2026 for Crypto ETFs
The latest inflow streak for both Bitcoin and Ether ETFs follows a turbulent beginning to the year. In the early weeks of 2026, the crypto ETF market experienced several days of heavy outflows as investors reacted to shifting economic expectations and geopolitical risks.
The renewed inflows suggest that investor confidence may be stabilizing after the initial volatility. Institutional investors continue to monitor macroeconomic signals, particularly those related to interest rates and global financial conditions.
While inflows have returned, analysts caution that sentiment remains sensitive to broader market developments.
Bitcoin Remains Range-Bound Amid Global Uncertainty
Despite the renewed interest in ETFs, Bitcoin’s price action has remained relatively stable within a narrow range.
Rising tensions in the Middle East and fluctuations in energy markets have contributed to uncertainty across global financial markets. According to analysts at Bitunix, escalating conflict around the Strait of Hormuz and rising oil prices have weakened overall risk appetite.
The situation has also reduced expectations that the US Federal Reserve will aggressively cut interest rates, leading investors to focus more on short term liquidity rather than long term risk exposure.
As a result, Bitcoin has struggled to break out of its current trading range.
Key Price Levels Traders Are Watching
Market data indicates that several key price levels are shaping Bitcoin’s near term movement. Derivatives liquidation heatmaps show a significant short liquidity cluster near $71,300, which currently acts as a resistance level.
A larger concentration of liquidity sits between $72,000 and $73,500, suggesting that Bitcoin may face additional selling pressure if it approaches those levels.
On the downside, analysts see support forming around $69,000. Deeper long liquidation levels are located near $68,800.
Unless a major macroeconomic development or market catalyst emerges, analysts believe Bitcoin may continue consolidating within this range in the short term.
