Bitcoin kept climbing on Friday. US spot exchange-traded funds soaked up hundreds of millions for a fourth straight session, and August’s total just overtook every other month this year.
Spot Bitcoin ETFs pulled $608.3 million in net inflows on Thursday, according to Cointelegraph, citing SoSoValue data. That pushed the week’s running total above $1.6 billion. August net inflows now stand at $2.07 billion through Thursday, edging past April’s $1.97 billion for the 2026 high. Seven trading sessions remain in the month. Cumulative net inflows since launch: $53.4 billion.
The daily numbers climbed all week. Monday brought $297.6 million. Tuesday, $189.3 million. Wednesday jumped to $517.2 million. Then Thursday hit $608.3 million.
Ether ETFs moved in lockstep. Spot Ether funds drew $220.8 million on Thursday, their largest single-day net inflow across 203 trading sessions, or 296 calendar days, according to the same report. The last time they pulled more was roughly $246 million on Oct. 28, 2025. Across four sessions this week, Ether ETFs took in about $512.2 million. August net inflows reached roughly $754.9 million. Total net assets sit at $13.58 billion.
Bitcoin traded at $75,133 at time of writing on Friday, up 7.9% over the prior 24 hours, per CoinGecko. Ether gained 4.6% to about $2,357. A separate Cointelegraph market report noted bitcoin had crossed $77,000, putting Strategy’s bitcoin treasury back at its breakeven point. The figures differ because the two reports were captured at different times.
Four consecutive sessions of rising Bitcoin-fund intake, capped by Thursday’s $608.3 million, pushed August past April. Ether funds joined the move with their biggest single day in roughly ten months. In a week light on catalysts, the inflow streak is the clearest signal on the board.
What the data does not show is the cause. The report attributes the flows to renewed institutional appetite but offers no firm-level breakdown of which funds led Thursday’s intake beyond the aggregate figures. SoSoValue’s data covers net flows, not the underlying buyer base.
Seven trading sessions left in August. At the current weekly pace, above $1.6 billion in five sessions, the month is on track to widen its lead over April. That depends on inflows holding. They have risen each of the last four days.
