Bitcoin ETF inflows drop 76% ahead of Labor Day, only BlackRock and Fidelity see new money

US spot Bitcoin exchange‑traded funds (ETFs) saw net inflows of $174.6 million on Friday, Sept. 4, 2026, a sharp 76.1% drop from Thursday’s $730.8 million. The inflow was driven solely by BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) and Fidelity’s Wise Origin Bitcoin Fund (FBTC), while the other tracked funds reported zero net flow.

Overall inflow slowdown

Seven of the twelve monitored Bitcoin ETFs posted positive flows on Thursday, but by Friday only two remained in the green. The total inflow fell from $730.8 million to $174.6 million, indicating a slower pace of new money rather than any net outflows.

Fund‑by‑fund performance

• IBIT (BlackRock): $117.4 million net inflow
• FBTC (Fidelity): $57.2 million net inflow
• All other ten funds (BITB, ARKB, BTCO, EZBC, BRRR, HODL, BTCW, MSBT, GBTC, BTC): zero net flow

What zero net flow means

A zero net‑flow reading does not imply that shares were not traded. Investors can buy and sell ETF shares during market hours, while authorized participants create or redeem shares. The flow table captures the net result of creation and redemption, not the trading volume.

Holiday impact

Both Nasdaq and NYSE will be closed on Monday, Sept. 7, for Labor Day, making Tuesday, Sept. 8 the next regular trading day. The holiday limits ETF activity to market hours but does not halt global Bitcoin trading.

Looking ahead

The next completed session will reveal whether inflows expand beyond IBIT and FBTC. A single day’s data cannot establish a lasting demand trend.
