U.S. Spot Bitcoin and Ether ETFs Record $492 Million in Daily Net Inflows

U.S. spot Bitcoin and Ether exchange-traded funds recorded a combined $492 million in net inflows on Aug. 21, extending a five-day streak of positive flows, according to Techub News. Spot Bitcoin ETFs brought in $307 million, with BlackRock's IBIT accounting for $239.3 million. Spot Ether ETFs added $185 million, and BlackRock's ETHA contributed $151 million. For the week, Bitcoin ETFs posted total inflows of $1.92 billion, while Ether ETFs logged $697 million. BlackRock was the dominant player across both ETF groups, and NewsBTC said that position reinforces its role as a major channel for institutional investors entering the crypto market. NewsBTC also said the streak of inflows has provided stronger demand support for the market, while investors still need to watch whether the flows hold up during periods of price volatility. If inflows remain steady during pullbacks, that would point to more durable institutional demand.
