US spot bitcoin exchange-traded funds recorded about $191 million of net inflows on Thursday, extending a six-session positive run beyond $2.8 billion. The daily total was smaller than earlier sessions in the streak, so the development is sustained demand rather than an acceleration on the latest day. Cointelegraph, Farside Investors.
BlackRock's IBIT accounted for about $163 million of Thursday's reported inflows and roughly $1.35 billion across the six sessions. The combined products have now moved back to a positive year-to-date flow balance after being deeply negative at the end of June.
The sequence matters because ETF flow and bitcoin price did not move in a straight line. Bitcoin had retreated from above $87,000 while the funds continued to post net subscriptions. That shows demand through the regulated products persisted during the pullback, but it does not establish where the market will trade next.
ETF figures can change as issuers and data providers complete their daily reports. A useful reading separates the latest day's total, the multi-day streak and each fund's contribution instead of treating all three as the same signal. Price forecasts based only on the flow streak would omit bond yields, derivatives positioning and selling from existing holders.
