US-based spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded $987 million in net inflows last week, a clear indicator that institutional demand for the asset has recovered. Last weekโs inflows have extended the positive flows to three straight weeks.
Spot Ethereum ETFs also extended their inflow streak, recording $218.4 million in net inflows last week.
Spot Bitcoin ETFs Record Third Week Of Positive Inflows
Spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded $987 million in net inflows last week, extending their positive streak to three straight weeks thanks to returning institutional demand. An analysis of CoinGlass ETF data shows the investment products starting the previous week with a $216.70 million inflow, followed by $236.50 million in outflows on Tuesday. The ETFs returned to positive territory on Wednesday with $101.10 million in net inflows, $730.80 million on Thursday, and $174.60 million on Friday.
BlackRockโs IBIT led weekly inflows with $691.5 million, followed by FBTC with $138.6 million, and ARKB with $137.7 million. Weekly inflows rose from $924.5 million a week prior. The daily trading volume is currently at $386.56 million, and daily total net inflows at $174.60 million. Daily trading volume for last week stood at $14.5 billion, significantly lower than the $19 billion recorded a week prior.
Robust August For Spot Bitcoin And Ethereum ETFs
Spot Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs performed well in August, bringing in substantial inflows. Spot Bitcoin ETFs pulled in $3.52 billion in monthly net inflows, their best performance since September 2025. Meanwhile, Spot Ethereum ETFs recorded $1.85 billion in monthly net inflows, the strongest since August 2025. Dominick John, an analyst at Zeus Research, said returning institutional capital has created genuine demand for BTC, pushing the price higher.
โSustained ETF inflows suggest institutional capital is steadily rebuilding exposure to bitcoin, creating genuine spot demand rather than relying on leverage-driven speculation.โ
Min Jung, research associate at Presto Research, called the positive price action a โcatch-up trade,โ adding that renewed ETF inflows indicate strong institutional demand.
Bitcoin Price Action
Meanwhile, Bitcoin finds itself back below $80,000 after reaching a high of $82,283 on Thursday. The flagship cryptocurrency lost some momentum after hitting resistance around the $82,000 level. It retreated on Friday, dropping to a low of $78,626 before settling at $79,675. Price action was positive over the weekend as BTC reclaimed $80,000, closing Sunday at $80,339. However, selling pressure returned on Monday, with the price down 1.29% at $79,318.
Despite BTCโs failure to push higher, it retains a near-term bullish bias, with the price above the 50-day, 100-day, and 200-day SMAs. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) is above 60, indicating strong buying pressure, but not at overbought levels. However, the MACD has turned negative, hinting at waning momentum.
According to John, BTC must hold $80,000, adding that the next major move depends on upcoming jobless claims and CPI data, and how the Fed reacts.
โHolding $80,000 keeps the structure constructive. BTC will continue grinding higher toward $82,000-$85,000, but the next move will likely be macro-driven.โ
BTC has support around the 200-day EMA at $72,749. This level is reinforced by support at the 50-day EMA ($72,100) and the 100-day EMA ($70,274).
