US spot bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) hit their first five-day inflow streak of 2026, bringing in about $767.32 million this week.
Funds recorded net inflows of $180.33 million on Friday, extending the positive flow that started earlier in the week. The strongest day of the streak came on Tuesday, when spot bitcoin (BTC) ETFs attracted $250.92 million. According to From SoSoValue to Data.
The funds last saw a comparable streak in late November 2025, when spot bitcoin ETFs posted five consecutive days of net inflows from November 25 to December 2, bringing in a total of $284.61 million.
In total, the ETFs now have net assets of $91.83 billion, with cumulative net inflows reaching $56.14 billion and about $4.93 billion in total value traded on the day.

Meanwhile, US spot ether (ETH) ETFs recorded net inflows of $26.69 million on Friday, extending a four-day streak of positive inflows. The streak began on Tuesday, when funds raised $12.59 million, followed by $57.01 million on Wednesday and $115.85 million on Thursday, the highest inflows during the period.
The four-day stretch has brought about $212.14 million into spot ether ETFs, reversing the outflow seen in early March. Year to date, aggregate net inflows into US spot ether ETFs totaled $11.79 billion, while total net assets across funds reached $12.26 billion, with approximately $1.30 billion worth of trades on the day.
The recent stretch marks the first sustained inflow for spot bitcoin and ether ETFs this year since the start of volatility in 2026, which saw several days of heavy outflows across all products.

Bitcoin Limits As Middle East Tensions Rise
Rising tensions in the Middle East and volatility in energy markets are weighing on global risk sentiment. According to Bitunix analysts, the escalating conflict around the Strait of Hormuz and higher oil prices have added to macro uncertainty and dampened expectations for aggressive rate cuts by the Federal Reserve, prompting investors to focus on short-term liquidity rather than long-term risk exposure.
Against this backdrop, Bitcoin remains range-bound. Derivatives liquidation heatmaps show a significant short liquidity cluster around $71,300, with a higher concentration between $72,000 and $73,500, acting as near-term resistance, Bitonics said.
On the downside, liquidity support is around $69,000, with deep long liquidation levels near $68,800, suggesting BTC may continue to strengthen unless macro catalysts trigger a breakout.
