Spot Bitcoin ETFs Still Down $464M for 2026 Despite $4.6B Inflow Since August
- —Spot Bitcoin ETFs show about $464 million in net outflows year-to-date in 2026
- —Funds took in roughly $4.6 billion since August 19 as BTC rose 35%
- —Total crypto market cap returned to $3 trillion for the first time since January
- —Perpetual futures open interest hit nearly $160 billion, highest since late October
Why it matters: Renewed ETF inflows have improved demand, but the annual balance stays negative and rising leverage raises the risk of a sharp correction.
