U.S. spot bitcoin funds recorded net inflows of $110.3 million on Oct. 26, 2026, all of which went to BlackRock’s IBIT, according to Farside Investors’ table. The table showed flows of $0.0 across the other listed funds that day. The return to inflows followed net outflows of $635.6 million on Oct. 22 and $137.9 million on Oct. 23. The funds had recorded inflows of $524.8 million on Oct. 21, before the two days of outflows. Thus, the Oct. 26 inflow was concentrated entirely in IBIT, following mixed moves in the preceding days.

Farside data available for the following day, Oct. 27, show a total of $24.5 million, recorded entirely under FBTC. The table shows dashes in some other entries, including IBIT, and therefore does not provide a complete total for that day’s flows. Based on the figures shown, a total of $176.0 million or the distribution of that day’s flows among the funds cannot be confirmed. Within the data listed, the Oct. 27 row shows an inflow to FBTC of $24.5 million. A comparison of the two days remains tied to what appears in each row of the available table.

In a broader reading of demand distribution, Coinbase Institutional said IBIT attracted about $6.0 billion in net inflows from Aug. 1 through Oct. 23, 2026. Over the same period, the other U.S. spot funds collectively attracted about $0.5 billion. The gap indicates that most of the inflows tracked by Coinbase during the period were concentrated in IBIT. The company also said IBIT recorded about $665 million on Oct. 19, describing it as the fund’s largest single-day inflow since October 2025. It added that the fund attracted about $900 million during the first two sessions of the week ended Oct. 23.

BlackRock data put the fund’s size in the context of the flow figures: IBIT’s net assets stood at about $64.69 billion in data shown through Oct. 26, 2026. The fund aims to reflect bitcoin’s price performance and provides exposure through an exchange-traded product. The fund dates back to Jan. 5, 2024, and its stated fee is 0.25%. In the monetary policy calendar, the Federal Open Market Committee meeting was scheduled for Oct. 27 and 28, 2026, with a press conference on Oct. 28. The meeting date provides a nearby time frame for market moves that coincided with fund flows.
