Bitcoin ETF inflows hit $731M, highest since January as BTC reclaims $80K
US Bitcoin ETFs drew $730.9 million on Thursday as Bitcoin reclaimed $80,000, though CryptoQuant flagged weak fresh demand and a key $83,000 test.
Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) in the US attracted a record $730.9 million in net inflows on Thursday, marking their highest daily increase since January 14. The surge came as Bitcoin reclaimed the $80,000 mark after trading between $76,000 and $81,000 throughout the week, according to CoinGecko. BlackRock's iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) led the inflows with $454 million, accounting for approximately 62% of the total.
However, CryptoQuant expressed caution regarding Bitcoin's rally, citing weak spot demand and significant short covering as the market approaches the key $83,000 threshold. The report noted that Bitcoin holders realized substantial profits, with 23,000 BTC in net gains on August 21 and a cumulative total of 110,000 BTC since August 19.
Despite the inflows, only VanEcc's Bitcoin ETF (HODL) and WisdomTree's Bitcoin Fund (BTCW) recorded outflows on Thursday, amounting to $19.6 million and $5.2 million, respectively.
