Bitcoin ETF Inflows Return After Three Day Outflow Streak
US spot Bitcoin ETFs posted net inflows of $14.75 million on April 30, ending a three-day outflow run. Fidelity's FBTC led with $26 million, followed by BlackRock's IBIT with roughly $19 million.
Spot Bitcoin ETFs Snap Three-Day Outflow Run
US spot Bitcoin ($BTC) ETFs returned to positive territory on April 30, recording net inflows of $14.75 million, according to SoSoValue Crypto data. The figure marked a meaningful reversal after three consecutive sessions of net outflows that had weighed on sentiment heading into the end of the month.
Fidelity's Wise Origin Bitcoin Fund (FBTC) led all products on the day, pulling in more than $26 million. BlackRock's iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) followed with roughly $19 million in net additions. The two funds have consistently ranked as the dominant forces in the US spot Bitcoin ETF market since launch, a pattern that held through April's volatile final stretch.
The single-day rebound comes against a broader backdrop of strong monthly performance. According to SoSoValue data compiled by Bitbo, US spot Bitcoin ETFs closed April with approximately $1.97 billion in net inflows — their strongest monthly total of 2026 and well above March's $1.37 billion figure. Cumulative net inflows across all products since launch have now topped $58 billion.
April Context: Late-Month Turbulence Before the Recovery
The three-day outflow streak that preceded April 30's recovery was itself notable. The Market Periodical reported that the late-April selling reversed what had been three consecutive weeks of strong weekly inflows averaging roughly $869 million each — the sharpest single-week decline in Bitcoin ETF flows since late March.
Despite that turbulence, the month as a whole reflected a durable shift in institutional appetite. BlackRock's IBIT was the dominant force across April, pulling in around $2 billion on its own, while the newly launched Morgan Stanley Bitcoin Trust ETF (MSBT), which began trading on April 8, contributed $194 million without recording a single day of outflows. Grayscale's GBTC remained an outlier, posting roughly $280 million in net outflows over the same period.
Investing.com noted that April's total pushed cumulative lifetime inflows across all US spot Bitcoin ETF products to $58.5 billion, lifting total assets under management to approximately $102 billion — confirming April as the most consequential month for the products in 2026 so far. Year-to-date flows, which had turned negative earlier in 2026, closed the month in positive territory.
