In a sudden but very impactful change in investor behavior, the spot exchange-traded funds tracking the largest cryptocurrency attracted almost $2 billion in fresh funds in the past five business days alone.<\/p>\n

The Ethereum counterparts also set a multi-month peak, gaining nearly $700 million within the same timeframe.<\/p>\n

Spot BTC ETFs Attract $1.92B<\/h2>\n

The week started on the right foot, with almost $300 million in net inflows on Monday and another $189.30 million on Tuesday. However, investors picked up the pace on Wednesday after the US Treasury Department announced<\/a> it would double the maximum size of liquidity-support buybacks for longer-dated government debt, raising them from $2 billion to at least $4 billion per operation.<\/p>\n

This had a dramatic effect on risk-on assets like crypto and investor appetite. The spot Bitcoin ETF<\/a> net inflows skyrocketed to $517 million on that day and then exceeded $606 million on Thursday, the best single-day performance since May 1. Another $307.45 million entered the funds on Friday, ending the perfect green-only week, in which the financial vehicles attracted a total of $1.92 billion.<\/p>\n

The total inflows have rocketed from under $51.8 billion at the end of the previous week to over $53.7 billion on August 21.<\/p>\n

This made last week the best in terms of net inflows since the one that ended on October 10, when investors poured in $2.71 billion. Recall that this was the trend-changer, as BTC experienced one of its worst crashes at the time, resulting in over $19 billion in liquidations<\/a> within 24 hours.<\/p>\n

Naturally, these ETF inflows were among the reasons behind the underlying asset\u2019s spectacular price revival in the past week. It traded below $65,000 before the Treasury Department\u2019s announcement but skyrocketed<\/a> by over $15,000 to nearly $80,000 by Friday.<\/p>\n

ETH ETFs on a Roll, Too<\/h2>\n

The landscape around the spot Ethereum ETFs<\/a> is rather similar, as they have also attracted the most funds since October 2025. In their case, the actual numbers were just under $700 million. And, the net inflows saw a major uptick after the Wednesday announcement, going from $30.85 million on Monday and $71.47 million on Tuesday to $189.15 million on Wednesday, $220.77 million on Thursday, and $185 million on Friday.<\/p>\n

The cumulative total net inflows have risen from $11.45 billion at the end of last week to $12.15 billion on August 21. Expectedly, ETH\u2019s price also went on a highly impressive run, surging from $1,900 on Wednesday to over $2,500 on Saturday morning, where it was stopped and now sits $100 lower. The weekly gains, though, are over 28%.<\/p>\n
