Crypto ETFs Roar Back: BTC Pulls in $281 Million, ETH Adds $222 Million

Institutional money came roaring back into the crypto ETF market on Thursday, August 7, as both bitcoin and ether funds posted massive inflows, signaling a surge in buying appetite.

Bitcoin ETFs brought in $280.69 million, extending their recovery streak to a second day. Blackrock’s IBIT was the clear driver, pulling in $156.64 million, more than half of the day’s total. Fidelity’s FBTC followed with $43.45 million, while Vaneck’s HODL added $21.49 million.

Additional inflows came from Bitwise’s BITB (+$17.17 million), Franklin’s EZBC (+$3.38 million), and Valkyrie’s BRRR (+$3.30 million). A token outflow of $388K from Ark 21shares’ ARKB barely dented the day’s bullish tone. Trading volume surged to $3.55 billion, with net assets climbing to $150.97 billion.

Ether ETFs joined the rally with a $222.34 million net inflow, their best day in weeks. Blackrock’s ETHA led the charge with $103.52 million, while Grayscale’s Ether Mini Trust (+$34.61 million) and Fidelity’s FETH (+$31.82 million) added substantial weight.

No outflows were recorded as total trading volume came in at $1.90 billion and net assets jumped to $21.80 billion.

With back-to-back green days for BTC and a broad-based rally in ETH ETFs, market sentiment appears to be turning decisively upward, at least for now.
