US spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded $986.9 million in net inflows for the week ended Sept. 4, led by BlackRock’s IBIT with $691.5 million (≈70%), while spot Ether ETFs added $218.4 million, bringing combined crypto ETF inflows to over $1.2 billion and August totals to $3.52 billion for BTC and $1.85 billion for ETH. Despite institutional demand BTC traded around $79,530 after peaking near $81,700 and ETF trading volumes cooled, and markets are now focused on the Aug. CPI report due Sept. 11 with roughly 57–58% odds of a Fed rate hike, a macro risk that could pressure crypto prices despite continued ETF-driven adoption and funding.

US spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) pulled in almost $1 billion last week as institutional demand recovered. Crypto trading also kept Bitcoin within striking distance of the $80,000 level.

Spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded $986.9 million in net inflows during the week ended Sept. 4. This extended their positive streak to three consecutive weeks. That was up from $924.5 million the previous week

BlackRock’s IBIT dominated the latest flows after attracting $691.5 million, roughly 70% of the weekly total. Despite the influx of capital, Bitcoin ETF trading volume cooled to $14.5 billion from nearly $19 billion a week earlier.

Ethereum funds also remained firmly in positive territory. US spot Ether ETFs brought in $218.4 million, which was their third straight week of inflows. Trading volume dropped to $4.1 billion from $6.3 billion.

Combined, the two largest crypto ETF categories attracted more than $1.2 billion during the week.

Crypto Trading Holds Up Despite Macro Uncertainty

The inflows follow a particularly strong August. Bitcoin ETFs attracted $3.52 billion during the month, their best monthly performance since September of 2025. Ethereum ETFs pulled in $1.85 billion, their strongest month since August of 2025.

BTC price action over the past week

Prices have so far shown a more restrained response to the institutional buying. Bitcoin was trading at approximately $79,530 on Monday, up 1.73% over the past seven days, after reaching roughly $81,700 last Thursday. Ethereum was changing hands at around $2,495.57 after posting a stronger 2.26% seven-day gain.

ETH’s price action over the past week

The next major test for crypto trading could come from US inflation data. Stronger-than-expected August employment figures have pushed market expectations toward another Federal Reserve rate hike, with markets pricing roughly a 57%-58% probability of an increase at September’s meeting.

That puts the Aug. CPI report, due Sept. 11, firmly in focus. A hotter inflation reading could pressure Bitcoin and other risk assets through higher rate expectations, while softer numbers could provide another catalyst for the crypto market.
