Amid broader equity headwinds and a bullish outlook for the cryptocurrency industry over the past few days, BlackRock Inc. (NYSE: BLK)-backed iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) has recorded its biggest daily cash inflow since January 14, 2026 this week.
As BlackRock’s IBIT saw renewed cash inflow over the past 3 days through October 22, the fund registered $665.16 million on Monday, according to data from SoSoValue. The last time IBIT attracted more than $640 million in a single day was on Wednesday, January 14, when it posted a net inflow of $648.39 million.
After closing Wednesday with an inflow of $234.99 million, BlackRock’s IBIT has reported a cumulative net inflow of $66.5 billion.
As a result, the firm held 814,262.597 Bitcoin (BTC), valued at about $67.53 billion at the time of writing, as BTC hovered around $82,940.
BlackRock Bitcoin ETF signals renewed institutional demand
As BlackRock’s IBIT accelerated Bitcoin demand, with total inflows of $930.01 million so far this week, U.S. spot BTC exchange-traded funds (ETFs) have seen a net inflow of $1.078 billion over the past three days.
As such, U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs had $109.31 billion in total net assets.
Impact of renewed inflows to BTC ETFs
As BlackRock’s IBIT triggered a renewed demand for Bitcoin, BTC price has rebounded from a major support level around $80,852, which proved a strong resistance between February and September 2026.
At the time of reporting, Bitcoin had a market capitalization of around $1.6 trillion.
Consequently, renewed daily cash inflows to U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs could catalyze further BTC upside.
