CryptoSlate reports US spot crypto ETFs took $3.04 billion Monday to Thursday
CryptoSlate, citing SoSoValue, says US spot crypto ETFs drew about $3.04 billion from Monday through Thursday, with Bitcoin leading at $2.25 billion.
Why it matters
The reported spread of ETF inflows past Bitcoin into altcoin products is the only substantive shift in the data CryptoSlate provided, since altcoin funds would draw about $793 million of the $3.04 billion weekly total. Bitfinex's claim that ETF and corporate treasury demand arrived at the same time for the first time this year carries weight only as one firm's account, and no second source confirms any of it.
Key facts
Bitcoin spot ETFs began the week with a $999 million inflow, which CryptoSlate called the strongest daily inflow of 2026 and the largest since about $1.2 billion on Oct. 6, 2025.

What happened
CryptoSlate reported that US spot crypto ETFs tracking Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, XRP and Zcash recorded about $3.04 billion of combined net inflows from Monday through Thursday, citing SoSoValue data. Bitcoin led with $2.25 billion, while the other four assets took nearly $793 million, and the outlet framed the spread as demand reaching ETH, SOL, XRP and ZEC. CryptoSlate said Bitcoin spot ETFs opened the week with a $999 million inflow, which it described as the strongest daily inflow of 2026 and the largest since about $1.2 billion on Oct. 6, 2025, representing roughly 11,530 BTC and the biggest single-day intake in coin terms since November 2024. The funds added $190.65 million on Thursday for a fourth consecutive positive session, per the same report. Bitfinex told CryptoSlate that the ETF demand re-emerged alongside corporate treasury buying, creating simultaneous sources of spot demand for the first time this year. No other outlet in the evidence set covers these flows, so every figure and Bitfinex's view are single-source and unconfirmed, and CryptoSlate's note on Bitcoin sitting above $85,000 is cut off mid-sentence in the available text.
