BlackRock Dominates Bitcoin ETF Inflows
BlackRock's iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) was comfortably the standout fund on Thursday, and recorded $277.6 million in net inflows. That was more than the industry's overall net total because several rival products saw money leave.
Fidelity's FBTC suffered the largest outflow of the day at $83.6 million, while Grayscale's GBTC recorded $27.2 million in withdrawals. Meanwhile, Ark Invest and 21Shares' ARKB added $29.7 million, Bitwise's BITB attracted $21.7 million and Grayscale's lower-fee Bitcoin Mini Trust recorded $11.7 million in inflows.
The latest result follows inflows of $232.2 million on Aug. 26, $314.3 million on Aug. 25 and $337.6 million on Aug. 24. As a result of this, August has been one of the strongest months for spot Bitcoin ETF inflows so far in 2026.
Bitcoin Falls Back Below $80,000
The persistent ETF buying has not prevented some short-term volatility in Bitcoin. BTC climbed above $81,000 earlier in the past 24 hours, and reached around $81,280 before reversing lower. The crypto was trading near $79,074 at the time of writing, down approximately 1.34% over 24 hours.

Bitcoin's retreat comes ahead of Federal Reserve Chair Kevin Warsh's Jackson Hole address, which traders are watching closely for clues about the future path of US interest rates. Despite the latest pullback, Bitcoin is still up roughly 2% over the past week.
