ETF funds are back again, but don’t equate “inflow” directly with “reversal.”
Farside just updated its September 4 data:
• U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded a combined net inflow of $174.6 million
• BlackRock’s IBIT saw a net inflow of $117.4 million
• Fidelity’s FBTC saw a net inflow of $57.2 million
• The remaining products did not record net inflows for the day
What’s really worth watching here is not “how much BTC BlackRock bought,” but the structure of the flows.
The previous trading day, the market as a whole had already seen $730.8 million in net inflows, and then it stayed positive for another day. That shows buying through institutional channels did not disappear immediately. But the noticeably smaller scale on the second day also suggests this looks more like capital testing the waters again, rather than a confirmed one-sided accumulation.
My view:
Consecutive ETF net inflows are mildly bullish for $BTC short-term sentiment; but whether the price can continue higher still depends on whether funds keep coming in after the weekend and whether trading volume can follow through. If ETFs turn back to net outflows, this signal will weaken quickly.
