U.S. Bitcoin ETFs Stretch Winning Streak Past $3.8 Billion
U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs posted their strongest three-week inflow stretch of the year through Friday, adding nearly one billion dollars in the latest week alone while assets under management climbed above one hundred billion.
U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs have locked in the longest inflow streak of 2026 so far.
SoSoValue data tracked through Cointelegraph shows the products collected 986.9 million dollars for the week ending Friday, September 4, 2026. That weekly figure pushed the three-week total to 3.8 billion dollars, marking the strongest run of inflows recorded this year. Assets under management reached 101.3 billion dollars, with cumulative inflows now at 55.6 billion dollars even as the year-to-date net remains roughly negative one billion.
Weekly split and product leadership
Friday alone delivered 174.6 million dollars, led by IBIT at 117.4 million dollars. The consistent positive prints across the prior three weeks stand out against a quieter backdrop for other major asset ETFs. ETH products saw weekly inflows drop 74 percent week-over-week to 218.4 million dollars, while XRP products fell 83 percent to 19 million dollars, both categories still positive on a year-to-date basis.
Price context on Saturday
CoinGecko prices at the September 5 open placed Bitcoin near 79,846 dollars, up 0.04 percent over twenty-four hours. Ethereum traded around 2,482 dollars for a 1.06 percent gain. Solana sat near 103.8 dollars after a 1.94 percent rise, and Dogecoin printed 0.091137 dollars with a 7.41 percent advance.
The inflow streak arrives while majors hold steady to modestly higher levels, keeping spot products in focus for market participants tracking flows rather than intraday swings. The three-week run separates itself from earlier weekly prints without relying on single-day outliers or macro data releases outside the ETF window.
Cumulative picture and year-to-date view
Even with the recent positive stretch, year-to-date net inflows for spot Bitcoin ETFs sit near negative one billion dollars. The gap highlights how early-year outflows weighed on the total despite the recent acceleration. AUM above 101 billion dollars reflects both price recovery and sustained net buying over the latest period.
Reporting from HTX and KuCoin aligned with the same SoSoValue numbers, confirming the 986.9 million dollar weekly haul and the 3.8 billion dollar three-week aggregate. The data set the current run apart from prior sequences in length and magnitude without invoking daily splits from adjacent weeks.
Market participants continue to watch the weekly print as the clearest signal of institutional positioning in spot vehicles. The streak through early September keeps Bitcoin ETFs at the center of flow discussions while other major asset categories show cooling momentum on a week-over-week basis.
