Weekly Crypto ETF Flows: $2.71B Net Inflows Across Nine Assets

Crypto spot ETFs posted broad-based net inflows for the week ending around August 24, 2026, with a combined total of approximately $2,705.31M flowing across nine tracked assets. Bitcoin dominated the weekly tally at $1.92B, representing roughly 70.8% of all inflows — a concentration ratio that underscores institutional preference for the largest digital asset by market cap.

At the time of writing, Bitcoin is trading at $78,590.00, up 1.93% in the last 24 hours, against a market cap of approximately $1.577 trillion and 24-hour volume of $34.59B.

Full Fund-by-Fund Breakdown

Ethereum spot ETFs ranked second with $697.18M in net inflows, capturing 25.7% of the weekly total — making BTC and ETH together responsible for 96.5% of all inflows recorded. The remaining seven assets shared just 3.5% of the weekly flow.

  • 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

Concentration and Flow Ratios

Beyond the BTC-ETH duopoly, XRP spot ETFs attracted $39.78M — the third-largest individual flow and roughly 1.47% of total weekly inflows. Solana followed at $28.34M (approximately 1.05% share), while Chainlink ETFs drew $13.35M (0.49%). As covered in our recent report on Grayscale’s GLNK ETF adding 132.95K LINK with AUM reaching $124.16M, LINK-focused products have been building steady institutional interest. HYPE, AVAX, HBAR, and DOGE combined contributed just under $6.7M, or roughly 0.25% of the total.

Context: Bitcoin ETF Inflow Momentum

This weekly figure follows a pattern of sustained institutional demand for Bitcoin ETF products. As detailed in our coverage of U.S. Bitcoin ETFs accumulating $1.61B over a 5-day inflow streak with IBIT leading on August 20 with $503M, large-cap crypto ETFs have been drawing consistent capital. The $1.92B single-week BTC figure represents a significant step up from that prior 5-day cumulative total, suggesting inflow intensity accelerated through the latter part of the week.

For additional streak context, our earlier report on Bitcoin ETFs pulling in nearly $1B over 3 days — the strongest streak since BTC traded above $80K — provides relevant historical framing for current inflow levels.

What the Data Shows

The flow data confirms that while the number of assets with dedicated spot ETF products has expanded, capital allocation remains heavily concentrated. BTC and ETH together absorbed more than 96 cents of every dollar that entered crypto spot ETFs last week. Altcoin-linked products including XRP, SOL, LINK, HYPE, AVAX, HBAR, and DOGE are attracting measurable but comparatively marginal flows at this stage. The breadth of positive flows — all nine tracked assets recorded net inflows rather than outflows — does indicate a broadly risk-on posture from ETF investors for the reported week.
