On August 6, Wednesday, U.S. spot Bitcoin 
$63,379 ETFs ended a four-day outflow streak of $1.45 billion with a net inflow of $91.5 million. Data from SoSoValue indicated that BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) led the inflows with a contribution of $42 million. Other contributors included Bitwise’s BITB with $26.35 million and Grayscale’s GBTC with $14.5 million, while funds from Fidelity and VanEck also turned positive. The sole ETF moving in the opposite direction was ARKB from Ark & 21Shares, recording an outflow of $5.37 million.
Resuming Capital Flow into Spot Bitcoin ETFs
Although a substantial portion of the Bitcoin ETF inflows came from BlackRock, Bitwise, and Grayscale, the total amount only clawed back a small part of the assets that exited ETFs over the last week. Nevertheless, Nick Ruck, Director of LVRG, noted that the return to net inflow reflects limited investor uncertainty and shows that the current price consolidation is encouraging institutional buyers.
Experts highlight that ETF flows have become critical indicators measuring risk appetite in line with expectations regarding the U.S. Federal Reserve’s monetary policy. Investors are reflecting their long-term adoption expectations of Bitcoin in their portfolios despite short-term volatility. This strategic value as a signal is thus enhanced by ETF movements.
Capital Flows Begin to Target Ethereum ETFs Too
According to data from SoSoValue, spot Ethereum 
$1,874 ETFs saw a net inflow of $35.12 million on Wednesday. BlackRock’s ETHA fund accounted for $33.39 million, and Grayscale’s ETHE had an influx of $10 million. However, the Mini Ethereum Trust experienced an outflow of $8.67 million.
The shift in capital direction followed a two-day negative trading session of $617 million. Analysts assert that, similar to Bitcoin, the price consolidation phase has helped reduce investors’ average costs and paved the way for volume recovery. Institutional demand, although volatile, is considered to remain consistent.
Based on data from CryptoAppsy, BTC saw a 0.56% rise over the last 24 hours, trading at $114,556, while ETH witnessed a 1.67% rise, exchanging at $3,690 over the same period.
