Bitcoin and Ether spot ETFs extend inflow streaks as macro and regulatory questions linger

Bitcoin spot ETFs brought in $128.69 million on Aug. 7, extending their inflow streak to four sessions, while spot Ether ETFs added $92.15 million in one of their strongest daily showings. BlackRock again dominated subscriptions, with IBIT taking in $128.33 million and ETHA drawing $81.14 million, underscoring how institutional demand remains concentrated in the largest listed crypto products even as broader market and regulatory questions persist. Other Bitcoin fund inflows came from Morgan Stanley's MSBT, Fidelity's FBTC, Grayscale's GBTC and Bitcoin Mini Trust, and Bitwise's BITB, while outflows from VanEck's HODL and Valkyrie's BRRR trimmed the overall total. Ether funds saw no outflows, with additional gains spread across Grayscale's Ether Mini Trust and ETHE, BlackRock's ETHB and Fidelity's FETH. Trading value reached $1.36 billion for Bitcoin ETFs and $435.46 million for Ether ETFs, with combined net assets ending at $78.77 billion and $10.64 billion respectively. Beyond the two largest crypto assets, XRP ETFs returned to net inflows, HYPE ETFs extended a recovery, and Solana ETFs posted a modest outflow led by Fidelity's FSOL. Lawrence Lepard said falling ETF values have not been matched by a comparable drop in shares outstanding, suggesting many holders have stayed put through the broader market decline rather than exiting listed exposure aggressively.
