U.S. spot bitcoin ETFs took in about $232 million on Wednesday, an eighth consecutive session of net buying that has pulled roughly $2.8 billion into the funds over the run, according to SoSoValue.Ether ETFs are on the same eight-day count, adding about $192 million Wednesday and taking their own streak past $1 billion. The smaller altcoin products followed the same direction, with XRP funds drawing $28 million, HYPE products $15 million and Solana $9 million.August inflows for the bitcoin funds now sit above $3 billion, already the strongest month of 2026 and roughly double what April managed. Net assets closed Tuesday just above $99 billion, up from about $77 billion in mid-August, though most of that $22 billion gain came from price rather than fresh money arriving. BlackRock's IBIT is absorbing the bulk of it, taking around 62% of Monday's total and about $1.3 billion last week.The run has not repaired the year, however. Bitcoin ETFs remain net negative for 2026 by roughly $2.5 billion, meaning August has clawed back a little more than half of what left the funds between May and July.Three trading sessions are left in the month. Another $160 million or so would push August past October 2025 and make it the biggest inflow month since the products' peak demand stretch.
