Bitcoin ETFs Snap Back With $217 Million as XRP and Ether Funds Extend Their Streaks
• September 1, 2026 7:07 pm • CommentsCrypto funds opened September with a clean reversal in Bitcoin and another day of steady demand for several major altcoins.
U.S. spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds took in $216.7 million on Monday, erasing the direction of Friday’s $201.8 million withdrawal. The rebound was heavily concentrated in BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust, but the broader picture was stronger than one fund: Ether, XRP and Solana products all extended positive streaks.
Cointelegraph, drawing on SoSoValue and Farside Investors data, put BlackRock’s IBIT inflow at $205.9 million. That was roughly 95% of the Bitcoin category’s daily net total.
Fidelity added $6.9 million, Bitwise brought in $4.3 million, Morgan Stanley added $3.6 million and Grayscale’s mini trust recorded $9.4 million. VanEck was the only issuer in the group with a net outflow, at $13.4 million.
The reversal came one trading day after the category lost $201.8 million. That Friday decline had ended nine consecutive sessions of inflows worth more than $3 billion, so Monday’s result restored positive momentum without requiring a long reset.
Bitcoin was trading near $78,700 as the new figures circulated, up roughly 1.5% over 24 hours. The price move was modest compared with the flow swing, which makes the fund data more useful as a measure of investor demand than as a simple reflection of a sharp spot-market rally.
That matters because Friday had broken a nine-session Bitcoin inflow run worth more than $3 billion. Monday’s money came back fast enough to keep the one-day reversal from becoming a broader exit.
Farside’s own post captured the outflow day that Monday’s buying reversed:

Bitcoin’s reversal arrived while the other major fund categories kept moving in the same positive direction.
Spot Ether ETFs drew $87.7 million, their 11th straight trading day of inflows. BlackRock’s ETHA led that group with $59.9 million, while Grayscale’s Ethereum Mini Trust and Fidelity’s fund added $13.5 million and $9.3 million, respectively.
The daily breakdown can be checked directly against Farside Investors.
Its issuer-level figures put $59.9 million into ETHA, $13.5 million into Grayscale’s mini trust and $9.3 million into Fidelity’s fund. Three issuers therefore supplied meaningful pieces of Ether’s $87.7 million total, while IBIT alone supplied about 95% of Bitcoin’s rebound.
The same distinction matters when reading the streaks. A long run of positive daily totals can still be fragile when one issuer supplies nearly all the demand; multiple positive funds make the aggregate result harder to dismiss as a single-product event.
XRP funds added $5.64 million and stretched their streak to 10 U.S. trading sessions. They have now posted net inflows every session since August 18.
Solana funds also reached 10 consecutive positive sessions, although Monday’s $925,010 was far below Friday’s $18.1 million.
Together, the tables show four different stages of the same market. Bitcoin recovered immediately from a one-day reversal, Ether extended the longest current streak, and the XRP and Solana categories continued drawing money even as their daily totals stayed much smaller.
The quieter Solana day follows a notable milestone: Bitwise’s Solana fund crossed $1 billion, while the wider category reached about $1.7 billion in cumulative flows without a sustained outflow spell.
Bitwise Solana ETF just cracked the $1b mark. First one to do it. The category has seen $1.7b in cumulative flows w really no outflow stretch despite coming off a nightmare downturn first half of year. Impressive. Chart from @JSeyff Solana report out today on BI ETF<go>. pic.twitter.com/0myCedI6sC

The headline number is positive, but Bitcoin’s daily total depended overwhelmingly on one product. If IBIT had been flat, the group would have been close to a wash.
That concentration makes the next few sessions more informative than the rebound alone.
Still, the cross-asset pattern is hard to dismiss. Bitcoin demand returned immediately after a one-day break, Ether has built an 11-session run, and XRP and Solana have each reached 10.
The important question for September is whether those streaks broaden across issuers and survive the month’s first round of volatility.
For now, the fund market is sending a straightforward signal: the Friday setback was not enough to stop institutional demand across the largest crypto assets.
