Bitcoin ETFs Attract $790M in Net Inflows Amid Security Headlines
The recent Coldcard firmware exploit has put the spotlight on Bitcoin security, but it hasn't deterred institutional investors from pouring money into regulated investment products. Over a seven-day period ending August 6, US spot Bitcoin ETFs attracted nearly $800 million in net inflows, with more than $1 billion entering the funds and $212.7 million exiting.
This influx of capital is significant, especially considering it happened during a week dominated by security headlines. The data from the Bitcoin For Corporations ETF Dashboard shows that on July 31, there was a notable setback, but investors returned almost immediately. The next four trading sessions posted consecutive gains: August 3 saw $170.1 million in inflows, followed by $207.8 million on August 4, $241.6 million on August 5, and $99.4 million on August 6.
BlackRock's IBIT ETF continued to lead the way, attracting $757.5 million in rolling net inflows over the seven-day period. It extended its streak to four consecutive inflow days, adding $128.3 million alone on the latest trading day. Other issuers, such as Fidelity's FBTC and Bitwise's BITB, also participated, but with much smaller amounts.
