US <a href="https://xpertsstudio.com/us-spot-bitcoin-etfs-post-third-straight-week-of-net-inflows-add-986-9-million/” title=”US Spot Bitcoin ETFs Post Third Straight Week of Net Inflows, Add $986.9 Million”>spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded net inflows for a third consecutive week, signaling a return of institutional capital. Last week’s net inflows reached $986.9 million, up from the prior week, with the three-week cumulative total hitting $3.8 billion—the strongest such stretch this year. BlackRock’s IBIT led the inflows while Fidelity’s FBTC also maintained positive flows. Ethereum ETFs extended their inflow streak but saw the weekly figure plunge 74%, while XRP ETF inflows dropped 83%. Bitcoin is trading around $80,000 as its 50-day EMA approaches the 200-day EMA, with a golden cross expected around September 11. However, some analysts caution that derivatives short liquidations were a key driver of the recent price rally.
Key Elements
US spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) posted net inflows for a third consecutive week, showing a clear recovery in institutional investor demand for digital assets. Last week’s net inflows totaled $986.9 million (approximately 1.3 trillion won), exceeding the prior week’s $924.5 million (approximately 1.2 trillion won). The three-week cumulative net inflow of $3.8 billion (approximately 5.1 trillion won) marks the strongest three-week stretch of the year.
BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) led this week’s flows. On Friday alone, it pulled in $117.4 million (approximately 160 billion won), accounting for roughly 67% of daily net inflows, and absorbed $691.5 million (approximately 930 billion won) on a weekly basis. Fidelity’s Wise Origin Bitcoin Fund (FBTC) added $57.2 million (approximately 77 billion won) on Friday, making it the only other product to show positive flows.
Total net inflows across all products on Friday came to $174.6 million (approximately 230 billion won), down sharply from Thursday’s $731 million (approximately 980 billion won). Weekly trading volume also declined to $14.5 billion (approximately 19.5 trillion won) from roughly $19 billion (approximately 25.6 trillion won) the prior week. As of Friday’s close, total net assets in US spot Bitcoin ETFs stood at $101.3 billion (approximately 136.3 trillion won), after briefly peaking at $103.3 billion (approximately 139 trillion won) the previous day. Cumulative net inflows since launch have reached $55.6 billion (approximately 74.8 trillion won).
Ethereum (ETH) spot ETFs also extended their inflow streak to three consecutive weeks, but the weekly inflow figure plunged 74% from the prior week to $218.4 million (approximately 290 billion won). Trading volume likewise contracted to $4.1 billion (approximately 5.5 trillion won) from $6.3 billion (approximately 8.5 trillion won) the week before. XRP spot ETF net inflows fell 83% to $19 million (approximately 26 billion won).
On a year-to-date cumulative basis, Ethereum ETFs have recorded net inflows of approximately $863 million (approximately 1.2 trillion won), while XRP ETFs have logged roughly $515 million (approximately 690 billion won). Bitcoin ETFs, by contrast, remain in net outflow territory of approximately $1 billion (approximately 1.3 trillion won) for the year despite the recent positive momentum.
Monthly figures also highlighted the strength of inflows. Bitcoin spot ETFs recorded $3.52 billion (approximately 4.7 trillion won) in net inflows in August, the largest monthly total since September of last year. Ethereum spot ETFs also achieved their biggest monthly net inflow since August of last year, with $1.85 billion (approximately 2.5 trillion won) flowing in last month.
Dominic John, an analyst at Zeus Research, said, “The steady inflow of funds into ETFs shows that institutional money is once again expanding Bitcoin exposure,” adding that “this represents genuine spot demand rather than leverage-driven speculative demand.”
Bitcoin rose to approximately $81,700 on the 3rd and is now trading around $80,000. It briefly dipped below $79,000 on Friday before rebounding to $79,716 at the time of reporting, up about 2.6% over the past seven days. The analyst noted that “if the $80,000 level holds, the market structure is positive,” and projected that Bitcoin could gradually climb toward $82,000–$85,000, though the next directional move will likely hinge on macroeconomic variables such as US inflation data.
Meanwhile, technical analysis signals suggest a golden cross formation is imminent. As of September 1, Bitcoin’s 50-day exponential moving average (EMA) stood at $70,030 and the 200-day EMA at $72,323—a gap of just about 3.2%. If current price levels hold, a golden cross could occur around the 11th.
Coin Bureau’s crypto analysis account said on X that Bitcoin is “approaching its first golden cross since November 2025.” The analysis noted that after the last three completed golden crosses, Bitcoin rallied 50%, 45%, and 60% respectively, but cautioned that as a lagging indicator, the signal “has sometimes reversed within weeks.” An analysis of 12 golden crosses since 2012 found that Bitcoin’s average gain three months after the signal was 24.9%, though individual outcomes varied considerably.
Data from CryptoQuant suggests that the late-August price surge may have been driven more by short-position liquidations in the derivatives market than by actual spot-market buying—a signal that stands in contrast to the strengthening spot inflows into ETFs.
