U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs brought in a combined $286.3 million over October 26 and 27, making it a second straight positive session after a choppy stretch of withdrawals. The first session added $110.3 million; the next brought in $176 million.
BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust, or IBIT, drove most of the rebound. It took in the full $110.3 million on October 26, then another $151.5 million the following day. Across both sessions, IBIT accounted for $261.8 million. Fidelity’s FBTC added $24.5 million on October 27, while the other funds were broadly flat.
So the direction has improved, but participation remains narrow. Two positive sessions point to renewed buying interest after recent redemptions; they do not establish that the outflow stretch is over, or that demand is broadening across issuers. And these are fund-flow figures, not a read on where Bitcoin’s spot price goes next.
The next checkpoint is whether more ETF issuers join the inflows in subsequent sessions. If IBIT continues to carry most of the total while other funds stay near flat, the rebound remains concentrated in BlackRock’s product. For now, the clear change is 2 consecutive positive sessions, led overwhelmingly by IBIT.
Two straight days of U.S. spot Bitcoin ETF inflows are the number to watch for whether institutions really return.
