Net inflows of $134.5 million at Friday’s trading close extended the positive streak for US spot Bitcoin ETFs to seven consecutive trading days. Since this winning run began on September 17, 2026, total fresh capital flowing into the investment vehicles has surpassed $2.98 billion.
That capital influx pushed Bitcoin above the average cost basis for ETF holders at $81,722 per coin. According to calculations by Bloomberg analyst James Seyffart, this price milestone puts the average ETF investor back in profit for the first time since January 2026.
Erasing the Impact of the Clarity Act Failure
The influx of funds over the past seven days has had a major impact on the annual capital flow landscape. Cumulative Bitcoin ETF flows for the entirety of 2026 have now reversed course and officially entered positive territory. The fresh surplus wipes out the sharp losses that hit the ETF market shortly after the Clarity Act bill failed to pass the Senate in mid-September.
Just days before this seven-day rally began, Bitcoin ETFs suffered two consecutive days of heavy outflows draining hundreds of millions of dollars. Redemptions of $450.4 million on September 15, 2026, marked the worst daily outflow record since June, followed immediately by another $295.9 million exiting the next day. The $2.98 billion in inflows over the past week now outpaces those two-day cumulative losses by nearly fourfold.
Targeting Records by Year-End 2026
The highest single-day inflow during this seven-day stretch occurred on September 21, 2026, when nearly $1 billion poured into ETF products in a single trading session. That single-day capital haul marked the best day for the ETF market since October 2025.
Tracking data from Farside shows spot Bitcoin ETFs gathered a total of $21.35 billion in institutional capital throughout last year. The 2026 capital accumulation trajectory has an open path to match the previous year’s record, provided the average inflow pace can be sustained at $300 million per day through the end of December.
