Bitcoin ETF flows by month

Every month since launch, each with its full daily table, net flow by fund and the records it set.

How Bitcoin ETF flows work

A spot Bitcoin ETF holds bitcoin and issues shares against it. When buyers want more shares than exist, a large broker called an authorized participant asks the fund to create new ones, and the fund takes in cash or bitcoin to back them. When holders sell more than buyers want, the process runs in reverse: shares are redeemed and the fund lets bitcoin go. The daily flow is the dollar value of those creations minus the redemptions.

Flows are different from trading volume. A fund can trade billions of dollars of shares in a day while its flow sits near zero, because most trades are one investor selling to another. Only the change in shares outstanding counts as a flow, which makes flows the cleaner read on new money arriving or leaving.

Issuers report creations and redemptions after the US market closes. The total for the latest session usually settles that evening, and smaller funds sometimes report a day late, so the most recent figure can move. This page picks those revisions up on the next morning's sync.

How to read the numbers

A single day says little on its own. One large allocation, a model-portfolio rebalance or a hedge fund unwinding a basis trade can swing a session by hundreds of millions without saying much about broad demand. Streaks and monthly totals carry more information: weeks of steady inflows mean new buyers are arriving through brokerage accounts, and a run of outflows means existing holders are cashing out.

Watch where flows and the price disagree. Inflows during a falling price mean someone is buying the dip through the funds; outflows into a rally mean holders are using strength to sell. The cumulative chart above puts the two side by side for that reason.

Fund-level detail matters too. Much of the early selling came from GBTC, the converted Grayscale trust with a 1.5% fee, as holders moved to cheaper funds. A day of GBTC outflows matched by IBIT inflows is money switching funds while staying in bitcoin. The flows-by-fund table near the top of this page shows which way each issuer moved.

What flows leave out

These numbers cover US spot Bitcoin ETFs only. They leave out bitcoin futures ETFs, funds listed in Canada, Europe and Hong Kong, companies that hold bitcoin on their balance sheets, and everyone who buys coins directly. They also run a day behind the market, since issuers report after the close. Read them as one large slice of demand, measured in public every trading day.

Which Bitcoin ETF has the most inflows?

What are Bitcoin ETF flows?
Flows measure the net dollars moving into or out of the US spot Bitcoin ETFs each trading day. When investors buy more shares than they sell, the funds create new shares and buy bitcoin to back them (an inflow); heavy selling forces share redemptions and bitcoin sales (an outflow). Flows are the cleanest daily read on institutional and retail demand for bitcoin through traditional rails.
How often is this data updated?
Twice daily. Issuers disclose creations and redemptions after the US market close; figures for the latest session settle in the evening US time and any late revisions are picked up the following morning. The data was last refreshed Oct 18, 2026, 6:00 AM ET.
What was the biggest Bitcoin ETF inflow day ever?
Nov 7, 2024, when the funds took in a net $1.4B in a single session.
What was the biggest Bitcoin ETF outflow day ever?
Feb 25, 2025, when a net $1.1B left the funds in one session.
Do Bitcoin ETF flows move the price of bitcoin?
Not one for one. A creation means the fund acquires bitcoin, so steady inflows add buying pressure, but the price is set across the whole market, including exchanges, miners and holders outside the funds. Flows are best read alongside the price: streaks that run against it are where they carry the most information.
Why do Bitcoin ETF flow numbers change after they are published?
Issuers report after the US close and some smaller funds report a day late, so the latest session's total can be revised as the remaining numbers arrive. This page re-syncs every evening and again the next morning, and older days are corrected automatically when a source revises them.
Which funds are included?
Every US spot Bitcoin ETF: IBIT (BlackRock), FBTC (Fidelity), BITB (Bitwise), ARKB (ARK Invest / 21Shares), BTCO (Invesco / Galaxy), EZBC (Franklin Templeton), BRRR (CoinShares), HODL (VanEck), BTCW (WisdomTree), DEFI (Hashdex), MSBT (Morgan Stanley), GBTC (Grayscale), BTC (Grayscale). Bitcoin futures ETFs and funds listed outside the US are not included.
Where does this data come from?
Daily aggregates and ongoing per-fund flows are sourced from SoSoValue's ETF data service; the per-fund history from the January 2024 launch through mid-2026 is compiled from issuer disclosures as tabulated by Farside Investors. All figures are net flows in US dollars.
