Bitcoin ETF flows jumped by $137 million, but it only recouped a third of recent losses

Farside’s currently reported $137.3 million U.S. spot Bitcoin ETF inflow on Aug. 17 rested heavily on Fidelity, leaving the session short of a market-wide demand signal.

Fidelity Wise Origin Bitcoin Fund, or FBTC, supplied $111.9 million, equal to 81.5% of the displayed total, according to Farside’s live table. ARKB added $14.2 million and MSBT added $11.2 million. Those were the only three numeric inflows in the row; the remaining reported fund entries were 0.0.

BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust, or IBIT, did not have a numeric entry. Farside displayed a dash, which its table visually distinguishes from 0.0 without providing a legend for the symbol. The current snapshot therefore did not establish a zero flow for IBIT, and the session total remains provisional.

Bitcoin ETF inflow recovered only 35.6% of prior outflow

The positive print followed a five-session net outflow of $385.2 million. Farside’s full flow history listed daily totals of negative $144.6 million, positive $7.8 million, negative $61.1 million, negative $131.1 million and negative $56.2 million from Aug. 10 through Aug. 14.

The Aug. 17 inflow recouped 35.6% of that loss. Across all six sessions, the funds still showed a cumulative $247.9 million net outflow.
