$BTC is trading above $86,000, up more than 10% this week and back to levels not seen since January. Ethereum is above $2,700. The bigger tell is in the flows. US spot Bitcoin ETFs just pulled in $999 million in a single day, the largest inflow this year. Ether ETFs added another $270 million on top of that. August already set the pace with $3.5 billion in monthly inflows, the strongest since last September, and flows have stayed positive for three weeks running. Most of that money is landing in BlackRock's IBIT. Analysts have pointed to that concentration as a sign of allocation rather than trading, institutions building positions rather than chasing a bounce. There's also a short squeeze in the mix, adding fuel to the move. And the market shrugged off two rough headlines in the same stretch, a Fed rate hike and a failed CLARITY Act vote, without giving back much ground. Moves like this, fast, with real volume behind them, are exactly what our multi-strategy fund is designed to work with.
