Crypto Spot ETFs Pull In $2.71B for the Week; Bitcoin Takes 70.8% of Total

Crypto spot ETFs recorded widespread net inflows in the week ending around Aug. 24, 2026, with about $2,705.31 million added across nine tracked assets. Bitcoin accounted for the bulk of the intake, attracting $1.92 billion—roughly 70.8% of the weekly total—highlighting continued institutional preference for the largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization. At the time of writing, Bitcoin traded at $78,590.00, up 1.93% over the past 24 hours, with an estimated market cap of about $1.577 trillion and 24-hour volume of $34.59 billion. Ethereum spot ETFs ranked second, bringing in $697.18 million, or 25.7% of weekly flows. Combined, BTC and ETH captured 96.5% of all net inflows, leaving the remaining seven assets with just 3.5%. Fund-by-fund flow totals (weekly net inflows): BTC: $1,920,000,000 ETH: $697,180,000 XRP: $39,780,000 SOL: $28,340,000 LINK: $13,350,000 HYPE: $3,890,000 AVAX: $1,300,000 HBAR: $848,190 DOGE: $654,420 Outside the BTC-ETH lead, XRP posted $39.78 million in net inflows, the third-largest amount and about 1.47% of the weekly total. Solana followed with $28.34 million (around 1.05%), while Chainlink products added $13.35 million (0.49%). Prior reporting highlighted Grayscale's GLNK ETF adding 132.95K LINK, with AUM reaching $124.16 million. HYPE, AVAX, HBAR, and DOGE together contributed just under $6.7 million, or roughly 0.25% of total inflows. The latest BTC weekly tally extends a broader run of institutional demand for Bitcoin ETF exposure. Earlier coverage cited U.S. Bitcoin ETFs taking in $1.61 billion over a five-day inflow streak, led by IBIT with $503 million on Aug. 20. The $1.92 billion weekly figure exceeds that prior five-day cumulative amount, indicating stronger inflow momentum through the latter part of the week. Additional context includes a previous three-day stretch of nearly $1 billion in inflows, described as the strongest streak since BTC traded above $80K. Overall, the data underscores that while the spot ETF universe has expanded, allocations remain heavily concentrated. BTC and ETH absorbed more than 96 cents of every dollar entering crypto spot ETFs last week. Altcoin-linked products—XRP, SOL, LINK, HYPE, AVAX, HBAR, and DOGE—saw positive but comparatively small inflows. All nine tracked assets posted net inflows for the week, pointing to a broadly risk-on stance among ETF investors. Source: Cointelegraph · Published by CoinsProbe Markets Desk
