Spot Bitcoin ETF inflows near $608M as Ethereum ETFs post biggest since October

38h agoAug 21, 2026, 8:30 AMAI-assisted

Spot bitcoin ETFs recorded $606 million in net inflows on Aug. 20, according to CoinDesk, as bitcoin’s exchange-traded product demand helped extend an inflow streak into a second consecutive day. Cointelegraph reported that bitcoin ETF inflows totaled $608 million, while August’s overall inflows reached a 2026 high of $2.07 billion as bitcoin traded above $75,000 [1] [2].

Ether ETFs also saw strong capital inflows, with $221 million in net inflows on Aug. 20, CoinDesk reported. Cointelegraph said ether’s ETF flows were the largest since October, and noted ether rose to $2,357 during the same period. Coinomedia similarly reported four consecutive days of net inflows across both bitcoin and ether spot ETFs following Aug. 20’s results [1] [2] [3].

The rally coincided with bitcoin breaking above $76,000 as ETF inflows accelerated, according to Crypto.news. The article also linked the move to a broader environment that included short liquidations and falling U.S. yields, alongside ETF demand [4].

Across multiple outlets, spot bitcoin and ether ETF flows on Aug. 20 were reported as the day’s key driver behind a broad price push, with bitcoin ETFs drawing roughly $606–$608 million and ether funds adding $221 million [1] [2].
