The Institutional Decoupling: BlackRock Cites Shift in Bitcoin Sentiment as IBIT Leads $853M ETF Inflow Week 📊📈 Graph Focus: US Spot Bitcoin ETF Net Inflows vs. Equity Correlation (July–August 2026) BlackRock’s Head of Digital Assets, Robert Mitchnick, confirmed a fundamental perception shift surrounding $BTC as the asset decouples from traditional tech equities. During July’s severe tech and AI stock pullbacks, $BTC consistently outperformed traditional markets, validating its thesis as an independent portfolio diversifier and macro risk hedge. Institutional capital is acting on this decoupling: US spot Bitcoin ETFs logged their strongest week since mid-April, absorbing $853.5 million across a 5-day inflow streak. BlackRock’s IBIT captured over 80% of total flows ($693.7M), while Fidelity’s FBTC added $116.4M. Following recent $100M+ cold-storage hardware exploits, institutional allocators are increasingly rotating self-custody capital directly into regulated spot ETF wrappers. The chart clearly illustrates this structural accumulation floor holding firm near $63,800 despite YTD macro headwinds. #BTC Price Analysis# #Bitcoin Price Prediction: What is Bitcoins next move?# #BTC #Bitcoin
