Spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds in the U.S. saw a notable surge in inflows while spot Ether ETFs outflows slowed down. This indicates a growing investor interest in Bitcoin amid fluctuating trends in the crypto market.
According to data from SoSoValue, the 12 spot Bitcoin ETFs saw inflows of $192.56 million on Aug. 8. This was a surge of over four times compared to the $45.14 million recorded the previous day.
BlackRock’s IBIT led with $157.6 million, bringing its total inflows since launch to $20.3 billion. WisdomTree’s BTCW followed with $118.5 inflows — its highest since its debut.
These funds were the only ones to record a second consecutive day of inflows. Additional inflows went into Fidelity’s FBTC and ARK 21Shares’s ARKB, which logged $65.2 million and $32.8 million respectively. Meanwhile, VanEck’s HODL fund raked in the least inflows, with $3.4 million.
These inflows managed to offset the $2.9 million leaving Grayscale’s GBTC, which has shed over $19.3 billion since launch. Flows into the other offerings remained neutral.
Trading volume for these offerings jumped to $2.02 billion, eclipsing the $1.79 billion seen the previous day. Cumulative net inflows into spot BTC ETFs stood at $17.43 billion.
Ethereum ETFs saw net outflows of $2.9 million on Aug. 8, led by Grayscale’s offering, with $19.8 million leaving the ETHE fund. Fidelity’s FETH recorded its first day of outflows since launch, with $2.6 flowing out.
BlackRock’s ETHA, Grayscale’s Ether mini trust, and Bitwise’s ETHW were the only ETH ETFs to log inflows of $11.7 million, $5 million, and $2.8 million on the day. Other ETFs saw zero flows.
This marked the second consecutive day of outflows from these offerings, which was notably lower than the $23.7 recorded the previous day. The nine Ether ETFs saw a slight jump in trading volume to $338.49 million. To date, these funds have seen cumulative net outflows of $390.23 million.
At the time of writing, Bitcoin (BTC) was exchanging hands at $60,914, while Ethereum (ETH) stood at $2,688.
