Grayscale&#8217;s Mini Bitcoin Trust added $2.9 million, while VanEck&#8217;s HODL was the lone outlier with $16.9 million in outflows. Ether ETFs recorded $71.5 million the same day, taking their August total to about $345 million.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Tuesday&#8217;s inflows built on Monday&#8217;s $297.6 million, giving the funds a two-day haul of $487 million \u2014 more than half of the month&#8217;s total in just two sessions. The rebound follows three consecutive outflow days from Aug. 12 through Aug. 14, when the funds shed roughly $250 million amid broader market volatility. Cumulative net inflows into U.S. spot <strong>BTC<\/strong> ETFs now stand near <strong>$52.28 billion<\/strong>, with total net assets around $79.3 billion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Reaching the $1 billion milestone for August would require roughly $171 million per day over the remaining sessions this week \u2014 a pace the funds have already cleared twice in the past two days. The renewed demand comes as <strong>BTC<\/strong> trades near $64,000, with the flows offering a counterpoint to a choppy week for risk assets more broadly, as South Korea&#8217;s Kospi index slid sharply on chip-sector weakness. Whether the pace holds into September may hinge less on crypto-specific catalysts and more on how equity markets digest upcoming Fed minutes and Treasury yield moves.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs pulled in $189.3 million in net inflows on Tuesday, marking a second straight day<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":542,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-541","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-eft"],"brizy_media":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/1stblock.info\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/541","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/1stblock.info\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/1stblock.info\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/1stblock.info\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/1stblock.info\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=541"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/1stblock.info\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/541\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":543,"href":"https:\/\/1stblock.info\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/541\/revisions\/543"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/1stblock.info\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/542"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/1stblock.info\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=541"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/1stblock.info\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=541"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/1stblock.info\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=541"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
