The U.S. spot Bitcoin exchange-traded fund (ETF) recorded a daily net inflow of $61.98 million on Monday, out of a total daily volume of $779.87 million. This was the lowest daily volume since February 6 and the third-lowest daily volume overall.
According to SoSoValue data, yesterday’s volume was significantly down from the daily volume of $5.24 billion on August 6.
“We expect volume to remain low as sentiment remains subdued after the massive selloff a few weeks ago,” Augustine Fan, director of insights at SOFA.org, told The Block. “It’s also worth noting that investors should be awaiting further signals from the Federal Reserve’s Jackson Hole meeting later this week, as summer vacations and recent data have eased concerns about an impending recession.”
On Monday, BlackRock’s IBIT saw net inflows of $92.68 million, while Fidelity’s FBTC saw $3.87 million. The inflows were offset by net outflows of $25.72 million from Bitwise’s spot Bitcoin fund, while Invesco’s BTCO saw negative inflows of $8.84 million.
Spot Ether ETFs saw their lowest daily volume since their debut, at around $124 million. Nine spot Ether funds had net outflows of $13.52 million, led by Grayscale ETHE’s $20.3 million outflow. Grayscale’s Ethereum Mini Trust saw a small net inflow of $4.92 million, while Bitwise’s ETHW added $1.87 million to the fund.
“TradFi continues to be cautious about purchasing ETH ETFs due to the lack of clarity around staking legality and various ETF issues that have led to the delisting of the Solana ETF in the past few days,” Fan told The Block.

“BTC remains range bound near 60k as supply sell-off fears weigh on prices against better macro sentiment,” Fan added. “ETH, on the other hand, is looking disappointing across the board due to fundamental issues such as low mainnet usage relative to L2.”
