Why It Matters
U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs experience fluctuating daily net inflows and outflows across multiple listed funds.
U.S. spot Bitcoin ETF inflows rebounded to $170.1 million on Aug. 3 after a $265.4 million net outflow in the previous trading session on July 31. Seven of the 12 listed funds attracted cash, while five were flat. BlackRock's IBIT accounted for nearly two-thirds of the total. The Bitcoin ETF inflow rebound reached more funds while remaining heavily concentrated.
Farside Investors' daily flow table showed IBIT at $111.4 million and Fidelity's FBTC at $33.4 million. EZBC added $9.2 million, while BTCO took in $6.7 million and HODL drew $4.5 million. BITB and ARKB added $2.8 million and $2.1 million, respectively.
BRRR, BTCW, MSBT, GBTC and BTC were flat. None of the 12 fund columns reported a net outflow, and the seven positive entries add exactly to Farside's $170.1 million daily total.
The spread across seven funds marks broader participation for the session. Its concentration sets a tougher threshold for calling the move a durable recovery. IBIT accounted for about 65.5% of the total, while the other six positive funds combined for $58.7 million. BlackRock's fund therefore remained the main source of net inflows even as more issuers participated.
The July 31 selloff reached across five funds. IBIT posted $122.7 million of net outflows, FBTC lost $54.8 million, GBTC recorded $52.6 million of redemptions, ARKB lost $17.5 million, and BITB lost $17.8 million. No fund reported a net inflow that session.
The Bitcoin ETF inflow rebound broadened, then vanished in one session
The same breadth appeared one trading day before the rout. On July 30, seven funds reported positive net flows, none reported a net outflow, and the group attracted $233.1 million. The positive-fund count then fell to zero on July 31 before returning to seven on Aug. 3.
That sequence shifts attention to persistence across complete sessions. Aug. 3 shows cash reaching beyond IBIT, while IBIT's 65.5% share shows that the distribution remained top-heavy. Repeated positive contributions from multiple funds would provide stronger evidence of broadening than a single green row.
Open Questions
- Will positive inflows persist across multiple consecutive sessions?
- Can other issuers reduce their reliance on BlackRock's market share?
