Key Points:
- U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs posted $337.6 million in net inflows on Aug. 24, the sixth straight positive session.
- IBIT and FBTC supplied $313.5 million, or about 92.9% of the day’s total.
- CryptoQuant data put weekly ETF demand at 26,762 BTC, about 8.5 times estimated new miner issuance.
BlackRock ETF Flows
The result marked the sixth consecutive U.S. spot Bitcoin ETF session with net inflows, not a six-week streak. From Aug. 17 through Aug. 24, the products attracted about $2.26 billion combined, including $606.3 million on Aug. 20 and $517.2 million on Aug. 19.
The concentration remains significant because IBIT and FBTC accounted for about 92.9% of Aug. 24 net inflows. Broader participation across issuers would provide stronger evidence that regulated demand is expanding beyond the two largest contributors.
Bitcoin Supply Gap
Bitwise’s product page confirms that BTC1 is fully backed by Bitcoin held in cold storage and carries a 0.05% annual fee through Dec. 31, 2026. That structure gives European investors regulated exposure without holding the cryptocurrency directly.
The current inflow run followed a sharp reversal in mid-August. Farside reported net outflows of $61.1 million on Aug. 12, $131.1 million on Aug. 13 and $56.2 million on Aug. 14 before the six-session buying streak began on Aug. 17.
