US crypto exchange-traded funds have pulled in more than $3 billion this week as fresh demand spread beyond Bitcoin into Ethereum and altcoin products.

Spot ETFs tracking Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, XRP and Zcash recorded about $3.04 billion of combined net inflows from Monday through Thursday, according to SoSoValue data. Bitcoin remained the dominant destination with $2.25 billion, while the other four assets attracted nearly $793 million.

Bitcoin spot ETFs began this week with a positive flow of $999 million, which was the strongest daily inflow of 2026 and the largest since the funds drew about $1.2 billion on Oct. 6, 2025. These purchases represented roughly 11,530 BTC, the biggest single-day intake in coin terms since November 2024.

The inflows stayed positive for a fourth consecutive session on Thursday, as the funds added $190.65 million, extending their four-day haul to $2.25 billion.

Bitfinex said this ETF demand had re-emerged alongside corporate treasury buying, creating simultaneous sources of spot demand for the first time this year.

The flow reversal has unfolded alongside Bitcoin’s recovery from below $58,000 in early June. US spot Bitcoin ETFs had accumulated a $5.69 billion year-to-date deficit by July 13, before demand swung back as the cryptocurrency recovered toward the mid-$80,000 range.

Yet the latest inflows have not produced another immediate leg higher. Bitcoin has struggled to extend its rally above $85,000 since Tuesday after reaching as high as $87,392 on Sept. 21, according to Bitfinex. The firm identified a large concentration of recent buying between $85,000 and $86,500, with its estimate of the aggregate ETF investor break-even level sitting near $86,000.

That puts the latest ETF buyers close to the center of Bitcoin’s current trading range and makes continued demand increasingly important if the rally is to hold.

SoSoValue’s Sept. 24 snapshot showed the 12 US Bitcoin spot ETFs holding $108.92 billion in net assets, with cumulative net inflows of $57.43 billion.

Ethereum takes the bulk of flows outside Bitcoin

Ethereum has been the clearest beneficiary of the widening ETF bid.
