Bitcoin, Ether ETFs draw $2.6B, best week since October
U.S.-listed spot Bitcoin and Ether ETFs have attracted $2.61 billion across five trading sessions, recording their strongest combined week since October 2025. BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust, or IBIT, received $239 million during the final session, accounting for nearly 78% of the daily total. Fidelity’s Wise Origin Bitcoin Fund, or FBTC, ranked second with $30.19 million.
Friday’s result completed a week in which inflows accelerated as Bitcoin’s price climbed. The funds received $297.56 million on Aug. 17, followed by $189.30 million on Aug. 18 and $517.19 million on Aug. 19. Another $606.29 million entered the products on Aug. 20 before the pace eased to $307 million. Adding the five sessions produces approximately $1.917 billion in net inflows. Bitcoin funds accounted for about 73% of the $2.615 billion that entered the two leading U.S. crypto ETF categories during the week.
One week earlier, investors had withdrawn $389.7 million from Bitcoin ETFs between Aug. 10 and Aug. 14. The latest result therefore represents a $2.31 billion improvement from one five-day period to the next, rather than a conventional percentage increase because the earlier figure was negative.
