Bitcoin ETFs Snap Four-Day Outflow Streak as BlackRock’s IBIT Leads Comeback

After four straight days of money leaving Bitcoin ETFs, one fund alone pulled in enough to flip the whole category positive again.

U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded a combined net inflow of $32.1 million on July 29, 2026, ending a four-day outflow streak that had drained hundreds of millions from the category over the prior week.

BlackRock’s IBIT did the heavy lifting, pulling in $89.8 million on its own — enough to offset losses elsewhere and push the whole group back into positive territory for the day. Fidelity’s FBTC still posted $43.08 million in outflows, and Ark Invest’s ARKB lost $14.62 million, meaning the positive headline number depended almost entirely on demand for BlackRock’s product specifically, not a broad-based return of buyers across the category.

The swing follows a rougher stretch for Bitcoin ETFs generally: the prior four-day run of outflows had already erased hundreds of millions, part of a broader pullback that started after the FOMC meeting on July 28, when no rate cut materialized and comments from SEC Chair Paul Atkins pointed to further hikes ahead.

One day of inflows doesn’t undo a week of selling, but it does show institutional demand for Bitcoin exposure hasn’t disappeared — it’s just concentrated in fewer hands right now.
