Notably, 10 of the 13 listed spot <strong>BTC<\/strong> funds registered zero flows on the day, concentrating institutional demand on the two largest issuers. No fund recorded outflows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Monday&#8217;s tally extends a sharp rebound that began on May 1, when the segment absorbed <strong>$629.7 million<\/strong> \u2014 the strongest single-day inflow of 2026 so far.

Daily ETF trading volumes have stayed above <strong>$1.4 billion<\/strong>, suggesting active rotation rather than passive accumulation.
