BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) recorded more than $560 million in net inflows during the trading week of October 19 to October 23, 2026, leading U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs. The fund drew significant investment early in the week and finished with net positive flows despite outflows toward the end.
The inflows coincided with outflows from Ethereum ETFs, suggesting stronger institutional demand for Bitcoin exposure during the period. The trend also points to a shift toward Bitcoin ETFs as a way for large investors to gain exposure to cryptocurrency, rather than relying on corporate treasuries.
