October 20 brought 23.16 million USD

U.S. spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds, which hold Bitcoin directly rather than futures contracts, recorded net inflows of 23.16 million USD on October 20, 2026. TokenPost said the figure came from SoSoValue data and followed a second consecutive session of inflows. The combined assets of the funds reached 106.28 billion USD, while cumulative net inflows since launch reached 57.43 billion USD, according to TokenPost.

TokenPost reported that BlackRock's IBIT received 29.86 million USD and Fidelity's FBTC received 3.58 million USD on October 20, 2026. Bitwise's BITB recorded a 10.29 million USD outflow on the same date, leaving the daily total positive at 23.16 million USD.
