Bitcoin ETF Flow Tracker: Live BTC Price & Daily Flows
This page tracks money moving in and out of the US spot Bitcoin ETFs. See the newest flow, a fund by fund table, and the live BTC price. Flow numbers update once a day, after US markets close. The price updates on its own while you read.
Flow figures last reported 31 Aug 2026, sourced from SoSoValue and Farside Investors data. Price refreshes live from CoinGecko.
Daily flow, recent sessions
Green bars are days when more money came in than left. Red bars are days when more left than came in. Figures in millions of US dollars.
August 28 was the one red day in this run, an outflow that snapped a nine session inflow streak. The category returned to inflows the next session.
Every US spot Bitcoin fund
Twelve funds, eleven issuers. Fee is the yearly cost stated by the fund. None of these funds stake, since Bitcoin has no staking mechanism.

Net assets reflect a recent trading session in August 2026. Flow figures are the 31 August 2026 session, confirmed against two independent reports.
What the tape shows
BlackRock's IBIT keeps leading by a wide margin. It has pulled in more than $63 billion since launch, more than every other fund combined. Grayscale's GBTC tells the opposite story. Its 1.50% fee is far above the 0.14% to 0.25% most newer funds charge, so money has steadily left GBTC for cheaper options like BlackRock's IBIT and Grayscale's own lower fee Mini Trust.
The category as a whole has taken in roughly $54.9 billion since these funds launched in January 2024, spread across sharp rallies, quiet stretches, and the occasional outflow day like August 28.
How to read the numbers
What an inflow means
New shares were created. The fund took in cash and bought Bitcoin. That Bitcoin left the open market and sat with a custodian.
What an outflow means
Shares were redeemed. The fund sold or delivered Bitcoin. That Bitcoin can move back toward the open market.
Why the flow numbers lag
Funds report after the US market closes. This page shows the last reported day. The BTC price above updates in real time, but flows do not, since no free live feed exists for them yet.
What moves ETF flows
- Price trend. A strong BTC run tends to pull in more buyers, and a weak one does the opposite.
- Fund fees. Lower fee funds like IBIT and the Grayscale Mini Trust draw steadier inflows than pricier legacy funds like GBTC.
- Macro conditions. A weaker dollar and lower bond yields tend to free up cash for risk assets like Bitcoin.
- Regulatory news. Bills like the Clarity Act can shift sentiment even before they pass.
- Concentration risk. IBIT alone often makes up 80% or more of a day's net flow, so its behavior can swing the whole category's number.
Bitcoin ETF flow FAQs
What is a spot Bitcoin ETF?
A spot Bitcoin ETF is a fund that holds real Bitcoin. You buy shares through a normal stock account. A custodian holds the coins, so you never need a crypto wallet.
What does a net inflow mean?
A net inflow means more money came into the funds than left them that day. The funds had to buy more Bitcoin to back the new shares.
What does a net outflow mean?
A net outflow means investors sold more fund shares than they bought that day. The fund may have sold some Bitcoin to cover it.
Which Bitcoin ETF is the biggest?
BlackRock's IBIT is by far the biggest US spot Bitcoin ETF, both by net assets and by total inflows since the funds launched in January 2024.
Why does GBTC sometimes show outflows?
Grayscale's GBTC charges a much higher fee than newer funds, 1.50% compared to 0.25% or less for most rivals. Many holders have moved their money to cheaper funds, which shows up as GBTC outflows.
Do Bitcoin ETFs pay staking rewards?
No. Bitcoin does not use staking the way Ethereum does, so no spot Bitcoin ETF offers a staking yield. Returns come only from the price of Bitcoin itself, minus the fund's fee.
Does an ETF inflow mean the Bitcoin price will rise?
Not on its own. An inflow shows demand for the funds that day. Price also depends on the wider market, so the two do not always move together.
How often do ETF flow numbers update?
Once a day, after the US market closes. Weekends and US market holidays have no new row.
