BlackRock Leads Charge as US Bitcoin ETFs Surge Past $1 Billion in August

US Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) saw significant inflows on August 18, 2026, with $189.3 million pouring in.

This follows a day earlier when $297.6 million was invested, bringing the total for August close to $1 billion.

The majority of these inflows went into BlackRock's iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT), which captured nearly 76% of the daily investments with $143.6 million.

This rebound in investment comes after earlier outflows but remains concentrated in BlackRock's product, with Ether ETFs also seeing smaller inflows.
