Bitcoin and Ether ETFs Pull In $1.1 Billion for the Week, Reversing a Long Stretch of Outflows

Bitcoin and Ether exchange-traded funds recorded a combined $1.1 billion in net inflows last week, according to BlockBeats, marking a break from the mostly persistent outflow trend seen through much of 2026. The report said institutional money had started moving back into crypto assets through ETF products. BlackRock’s spot Bitcoin ETF, IBIT, was the dominant source of demand. It accounted for about 80% of total inflows into Bitcoin ETFs during the week, making it the largest single channel for fresh capital entering the segment. Even with the rebound in fund flows, trading activity remained weak. BlockBeats said weekly BTC ETF trading volume fell to its second-lowest level since October 2024, showing that stronger inflows did not translate into a broad pickup in market turnover. The report also noted that both BTC and ETH ETFs had previously faced sustained outflow pressure before the latest reversal in flows.

Bitcoin's Correlation With Stocks Is Fading, BlackRock Digital Assets Chief Says

BlackRock's head of digital assets, Robert Mitchnick, said bitcoin market sentiment has shown a clear but subtle improvement over the past month, with the asset's correlation to US stocks weakening—a development he called healthy for the case that bitcoin can serve as a portfolio diversifier and tail-risk hedge. Mitchnick pointed to July's sharp pullback in AI-related stocks, when bitcoin significantly outperformed, as evidence of the decoupling. Bitcoin is still down nearly 30% year-to-date and about 50% from a year ago, but ETF investors have kept buying. US spot bitcoin ETFs recorded $853.5 million in inflows last week, the strongest weekly result since mid-April, according to The Block. BlackRock's IBIT contributed $693.7 million, or more than 80% of the total, while Fidelity's FBTC added $116.4 million. Bloomberg Intelligence analyst Eric Balchunas noted that after the Coldcard vulnerability was disclosed, multiple funds posted daily net inflows, saying it is “hard not to see causality.”

Bitcoin ETFs post their strongest week since May as inflows return

Bitcoin spot exchange-traded funds brought in about $854 million to $865 million last week, according to Decrypt’s Morning Minute newsletter, marking their strongest weekly inflow since May and the first notably large return of capital after an eight-week stretch of outflows through June and early July. Ethereum ETFs also had a solid week, with $244 million in net inflows, which the newsletter said was roughly equivalent to $1.25 billion in Bitcoin ETF buying on a market-cap-adjusted basis. The report linked the move to a softer macro backdrop. U.S. earnings were broadly positive last week, while the July jobs report came in well below expectations, showing a loss of 23,000 jobs versus forecasts for an 80,000 gain. Unemployment still edged down to 4.1%. After that data, the odds of a September rate hike dropped from 67% to 42%. Elsewhere, major crypto assets were mostly flat over the weekend but still 3% to 4% above last week’s levels, with BTC at $65,000 and ETH at $1,916. The newsletter also tracked gains in select altcoins, token and protocol activity, Robinhood Chain assets, and a mixed NFT market, while noting fresh developments around the Clarity Act, NYSE tokenization infrastructure, MARA’s Bitcoin sales and borrowing, and Grayscale’s withdrawn ETF filings.

Bitcoin’s 36% implied volatility floor may look calm, but traders are still facing meaningful risk

CoinDesk’s Aug. 6 Daybook argues that bitcoin’s recent calm should not be read as a sign that risk has disappeared. BTC has stayed below $65,000 while its 30-day implied volatility has fallen to a long-held floor of 36%, even as stocks have led a broader risk-on rally that bitcoin has not joined. That quiet tape, the report says, can actually make it cheaper for traders to build large directional bets and hedges, leaving market makers with more exposure if prices start to move. Adam Haeems, head of asset management at Tesseract Group, said low volatility can encourage positioning at relatively low cost and that dealer hedging may accelerate a move if bitcoin breaks through levels where positioning is concentrated. He warned that low volatility should not be confused with low risk, especially when trading volumes and market depth are subdued. Paul Howard, a senior director at market maker Wincent, said demand for downside protection has weakened, but there is also little appetite for upside exposure. Glassnode made a similar point, saying the market is not bidding for puts so much as it has stopped bidding for calls. Howard added that a positive regulatory development such as movement on the Clarity Act could trigger institutional ETF inflows, while a breakdown in Hormuz talks and an inflation shock stand out as negative catalysts.

Bitget UEX daily: Dow hits another record, gold nears $4,300, and SpaceX faces first major lockup expiry

Bitget UEX’s Aug. 6 market note tracked a session defined by sharp cross-asset divergence. The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed at another record high, while the Nasdaq and S&P 500 retreated, reflecting continued separation inside U.S. equities. Spot gold climbed to about $4,283 an ounce and moved closer to the $4,300 mark as safe-haven demand and a softer dollar outweighed the effect of lower oil prices. In commodities, markets focused on developments around the Strait of Hormuz after Iran and Oman said they had agreed on geographic coordinates for a new commercial shipping route, though Tehran stressed that this did not mean an immediate return to safe passage. In crypto, BTC traded around $64,100 and ETH around $1,909, with total market capitalization at roughly $2.29 trillion. Bitcoin spot ETFs posted a net inflow of $212 million the previous day and a dynamic net inflow of $47 million on the day, while total liquidations over 24 hours reached about $252 million. The report also highlighted growing attention on SpaceX, which is set for its first large-scale post-listing share unlock, and on U.S. macro data including jobless claims and nonfarm payrolls. Among single names, SanDisk fell in after-hours trading despite strong quarterly results because guidance missed elevated expectations, Nvidia rose after SpaceX said future AI services would run exclusively on its Vera Rubin architecture, and Alphabet dropped following a major AI leadership reshuffle.

Bitcoin Could Stay Range-Bound in August, CryptoQuant Analyst Says

CryptoQuant analyst Axel Adler Jr projects Bitcoin will likely trade between $57,700 and $67,000 through August, with a 55% probability of a month-end close at $60,000-$64,000. BTC has pulled back roughly 50% from its October 2025 cycle high of $126,200 and now sits near the average on-chain cost basis, a zone that has historically attracted buyers. The bear case, assigned 30% probability, involves a breakdown below $57,700 toward the on-chain realized price of about $52,800. The bull case, at 15% odds, requires reclaiming $67,000 with support from continued spot ETF inflows, falling US Treasury yields and a weaker dollar, targeting $71,000-$74,000. Support also comes from persistent net inflows into spot Bitcoin ETFs and valuations anchored near cost-basis levels. However, high interest rates, elevated Treasury yields and dollar strength remain headwinds for risk assets. Adler also flags August US nonfarm payrolls, CPI and the Jackson Hole central bank symposium as macro events that could sway liquidity and break the range.

Grayscale says HYPE ETF inflows are accelerating on a market-cap-adjusted basis

Research data released by Grayscale shows that HYPE ETF inflows are picking up speed when measured against each asset’s market capitalization. On that basis, the product is outperforming BTC, ETH, SOL, and XRP in relative inflow performance. Grayscale said Bitcoin has posted the most consistent and stable inflows, while Ethereum previously saw sharp spikes. In the early stage, Solana and XRP recorded what Grayscale described as healthy inflows. Against that backdrop, HYPE’s launch-phase performance in the same point of its lifecycle is running ahead of Bitcoin, Solana, and XRP. The comparison cited by Grayscale focuses on relative flows rather than headline totals, using market-cap share as the reference point.

Morgan Stanley’s Bitcoin ETF nears $400 million in assets after April launch

Morgan Stanley’s Bitcoin exchange-traded fund has grown to more than $391 million in assets under management since launching in April, according to a report by Bitcoin Magazine. Listed on NYSE Arca and described in the report as the first Bitcoin ETF launched by a bank, the fund brought in more than $33 million on its first trading day and has continued to add assets at a pace that stands out in the broader ETF market. Bloomberg Intelligence senior ETF analyst Eric Balchunas said Friday that the product has been one of the most successful fund launches of the year so far. Data from Farside Investors shows the fund added $15.7 million in fresh inflows this week alone. The report also places the fund’s rise in the context of Morgan Stanley’s broader crypto push, noting the bank began offering wealthy clients Bitcoin exposure through third-party funds in 2021, while CEO and Chairman Ted Pick said last year the bank was working with regulators on ways to offer crypto safely. The article also notes a broader shift in U.S. spot Bitcoin ETF flows. After weeks of outflows, the products have taken in $274 million this week, though Thursday broke a prior seven-day streak that had nearly reached $1 billion in inflows. Bitcoin was recently trading at $64,096, down more than 1% over 24 hours and little changed over seven days.
