Bitcoin and broader crypto risk appetite improved over the past 24 hours, but market participants are still looking to Wednesday's U.S. CPI print as the key test of whether the latest interest-rate repricing can last. Wintermute said U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs posted net inflows for five straight trading days totaling $853.5 million, their best week since mid-April, while Ethereum ETFs logged a fifth consecutive week of net inflows with $244.9 million added. BlackRock accounted for more than 80% of the combined $1.1 billion in inflows, a pattern Wintermute said looks more like planned institutional allocation than aggressive momentum buying. The report argued that this reverses the recent narrative of money rotating out of the Bitcoin trade, though it cautioned that one strong week is not enough to confirm a structural turn if CPI surprises to the upside and pushes the probability of a September rate hike back above 50%. Other developments reinforced the institutional theme. Wells Fargo said it will launch a tokenized deposits business this autumn, starting with the U.S. dollar-British pound corridor on its own chain. In Washington, a motion to end debate on the CLARITY Act was filed early Saturday by the U.S. Senate majority leader, with a procedural vote set for September 15 and needing support from at least seven non-Republican senators. The White House crypto committee director Patrick Witt said the administration remains committed to passing the bill in September, while journalist Eleanor Terrett reported that the SEC (U.S. securities regulator) is also preparing its own crypto issuance rule proposal, suggesting a dual-track path of legislation and agency rulemaking. Macro and market commentary remained central to the debate. Arthur Hayes said rising dollar liquidity would lift Bitcoin and crypto, tying that view to possible policy action around the yen and the U.S. dollar-Japanese yen exchange rate. BlackRock digital assets executive Robert Mitchnick said Bitcoin's correlation with U.S. equities has been weakening, which he described as healthy for the asset's diversification and tail-risk hedge case. Analysts were split on the Fed outlook after mixed July jobs data, while Cleveland Fed President Hammack said multiple rate hikes may be needed to bring inflation down. Governance, security and infrastructure stories also stood out. ENS DAO approved and executed its Next Era proposal, formally creating the ENS Foundation to handle legal, policy, standards and brand-protection work for the decentralized naming ecosystem. BTCPay Server backers offered a bounty of up to 3 BTC to help recover stolen funds after a critical vulnerability affecting LND-connected Lightning wallets was actively exploited. Data from Santiment showed wallets holding at least 10,000 BTC rose to 90, a six-month high, indicating renewed accumulation by large holders. Meanwhile, 21Shares reported that global crypto ETPs (exchange-traded products) recorded $600 million of net inflows in July, the first positive month since April, led by $350 million into native Ethereum products.
