US spot bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) posted a net inflow of $552.78 million on Thursday, according to Farside Investors, extending a four-day streak of positive flows as institutional demand returned.
BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) attracted $366.2 million in inflows, while Fidelity’s Wise Origin Bitcoin Fund (FBTC) drew $134.7 million.
Bitwise’s BITB added $40.43 million, and ETFs managed by VanEck, Invesco and Franklin Templeton also saw inflows.
The four-day run produced a cumulative $1.7 billion in inflows across consecutive trading days.

This follows outflows of $751 million in August, the industry’s third-worst month since the ETFs launched in January.
August also saw strong activity in Ethereum-focused products, with spot ether ETFs recording $3.87 billion of inflows, their second-best month since debut.
That trend fueled a narrative of “capital rotation,” which helped push bitcoin down to about $107,500 at the end of the month.
Ether ETFs began September with a few days of outflows but returned to positive territory on Tuesday. On Thursday they recorded inflows of $113.12 million.
Bitcoin and Ether Prices Rebound
Bitcoin traded above $115,000 on Friday, gaining nearly 4% for the week after closing above key resistance levels earlier in the session.
Ethereum and Ripple also bounced, rising roughly 5% and 6%, respectively.
Bitcoin started the week facing resistance at its 50-day exponential moving average (EMA) of $113,129, then climbed more than 2% on Wednesday to close above that level and extend gains into Thursday.
At the time of writing, BTC was approaching daily resistance near $116,000. A close above that level could pave the way for further gains toward the psychological $120,000 mark.
Ethereum has consolidated between $4,232 and $4,488 since August 29.
On Friday it neared the upper end of that range at $4,488. A breakout above that level could set the stage for a rally toward the previous high of $4,956.
Market participants are also focused on the Federal Open Market Committee meeting scheduled for September 16–17.
CME Group’s FedWatch tool shows futures pricing in a 92.5% probability of a 25-basis-point rate cut and a 7.5% chance of a 50-basis-point cut.
