US spot Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs record three consecutive days of net inflows, with BlackRock's IBIT leading Bitcoin purchases.
Macro & Markets ·
BlackRock's iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) accumulated roughly $478.5M in Bitcoin purchases over a week-long stretch, with daily net inflows recorded across consecutive trading days. Spot Bitcoin ETFs more broadly posted $244.4M in net inflows on August 5 and $9.3M on August 6, while spot Ethereum ETFs also remained positive with $60.8M and $9M in inflows on those same dates, respectively.
The sustained buying reflects institutional appetite for digital assets through regulated vehicles. Market observers note that BlackRock's fund movements serve as a barometer for traditional investor participation in the Bitcoin market, given the firm's scale and influence. The inflows, though positive, have slowed from earlier pace levels.
Whether this multi-day pattern signals a broader shift in institutional positioning or remains tactical remains unclear. The data does not indicate whether the inflows continue beyond the initial window or have since reversed.
