Bitcoin spot ETFs attracted $170M in inflows at the start of August as BTC rebounded to $64k, while Ethereum ETFs saw outflows and XRP ETFs posted modest gains.
Macro & Markets ·
On August 3, 2026, Bitcoin ETFs recorded $170.1M in net inflows, reversing the outflow pattern observed just days earlier when spot Bitcoin ETFs saw $265.4M net outflows on July 31 as the asset traded near $63Kâ$64K. The same trading day saw mixed performance across other digital-asset ETFs: Ethereum ETFs posted $11.9M in net outflows, while Solana ETFs recorded flat flows at $0.0M and Hyperliquid ETFs experienced $1.0M in outflows.
The inflow reversal in Bitcoin products suggests renewed demand after the previous week's pullback, though the scale of inflows remains modest relative to the magnitude of July's outflows. Ethereum and other altcoin-focused products continued to track outflows, indicating a possible shift in allocation preference toward Bitcoin during the period.
Whether the Bitcoin inflows represent sustained institutional appetite or a temporary bounce remains unclear. On-chain supply concentration data from the prior outflow period has not been updated, leaving open questions about whether that resistance structure has shifted or dispersed.
