Inflows into the U.S. cryptocurrency spot Exchange Traded Fund (ETF) market have taken a breather after last week's record surge. While daily inflows plummeted by about 80% compared to the previous trading day, analysis suggests that all four major cryptocurrency spot ETFs are maintaining consecutive net inflow streaks, demonstrating robust institutional demand.

According to cryptocurrency specialized media Cointelegraph on September 29 (local time), the total net inflow for Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), Solana (SOL), and XRP spot ETFs in the U.S. stock market on September 28 was tallied at $64.8 million. This figure represents a clear slowdown compared to the total weekly inflow of $3.34 billion recorded by the four major cryptocurrency spot ETFs last week. At that time, Bitcoin spot ETFs achieved a weekly net inflow of $2.39 billion, Ethereum spot ETFs $689.88 million, Solana spot ETFs $188.22 million, and XRP spot ETFs $75.59 million.

Although the pace of inflows has slowed, the net inflow trend for key funds has remained steady. Bitcoin spot ETFs added $31.07 million on Monday alone, extending their net inflow streak to 8 consecutive trading days. Bitcoin spot ETFs attracted a total of $3 billion in institutional funds during this period. BlackRock's (BLK) IBIT led the inflows with $54.84 million, and Grayscale contributed $10.32 million, maintaining upward momentum.

The altcoin spot ETF product group also uniformly renewed their consecutive inflow records. Ethereum spot ETFs absorbed $17.10 million, recording net inflows for 7 consecutive trading days. BlackRock's ETHA attracted $15.35 million, and 21Shares' TETH garnered $1.74 million respectively. Solana spot ETFs also saw $12.70 million in inflows, led by Bitwise's BSOL, marking a positive trend for 7 consecutive trading days. XRP spot ETFs also achieved 5 consecutive trading days of net inflows with a concentrated inflow of $3.96 million through Canary Capital's XRPC.

Market experts diagnosed that the slowdown in short-term buying does not signify a trend reversal to outflows. They explained that institutional investors are consistently increasing their allocations in cryptocurrency funds without withdrawing capital, even amidst heightened macroeconomic volatility such as surging treasury yields and geopolitical tensions.

After a $3.3 billion funding surge during the week, a period of consolidation unfolded, but the consecutive inflows into the four major cryptocurrency spot ETFs remained robust. Even amidst a wait-and-see attitude ahead of macroeconomic data releases, the trend of institutional investors incorporating these into their portfolios is expected to act as a strong downside support for entering a bullish market in October.
