Bitcoin ETFs Surge Past $1.47B: Market Balance Sheet Rewritten

Bitcoin ETFs recorded over $517.2 million in net inflows, pushing August inflows to $1.47 billion. The market moved alongside BTC's climb to $72,000 and ETH's 19% rise, amid the U.S. Treasury's decision to expand long-term debt buybacks. Jonatan Randin, senior analyst at PrimeXBT, noted this as a 'currency event' rather than growth, as gold and silver outperformed equities. Bitcoin surged 11% in 24 hours to near $72,000, while Ether rose 19% to $2,286. Bitcoin ETFs saw $291.5 million in net inflows this week, their highest since January 16. The funds have taken in nearly $1 billion since Monday, their strongest weekly inflow since Jan. 16. Bitcoin ETFs hit their largest single-day inflow of $517.2 million since May 4, boosting August inflows to $1.47 billion.
