CoinGabbar, citing The Block, put bitcoin at $517.2 million, the largest single-day net intake since May 4, and SoSoValue at $517.19 million for bitcoin and $189.15 million for ether. That is a one-session print. It is not last week\u2019s outflow week, and it is not, by itself, a thesis change on either asset.<\/p>\n<p>Issuer mix, where it is dual-sourced, was broad rather than a single ticket. CoinGabbar\u2019s SoSoValue table had BlackRock\u2019s IBIT at $284.74 million, ARKB at $77.71 million, Fidelity\u2019s FBTC at $62.41 million, Bitwise\u2019s BITB at $35.60 million, and Grayscale\u2019s GBTC at $21.18 million. Ether was led by BlackRock\u2019s ETHA at $122.12 million. Those issuer lines are SoSoValue via one outlet; CoinDesk did not reprint the full table. Treat the complex totals as dual-sourced and the name-by-name stack as a single-source breakdown.<\/p>\n<p>A third-day inflow streak is the flow rebuild, not a completed rotation. CoinDesk tied the session to bitcoin moving above $69,000 and ether around $2,250. SoSoValue, via CoinGabbar, put bitcoin ETF net assets at $84.31 billion and ether at $12.06 billion. Incomplete Farside tallies published before every issuer posted ran much lower; those were unfinished tapes, not a rival official number. Use the completed SoSoValue session.<\/p>\n<p>For crypto-fund and RIA allocators the useful comparison is this session against last week\u2019s roughly $390 million weekly redeem, not against a single prior day. A $517 million create does not erase a six-week-high outflow week. It does reverse the sign with size. Durability is the next three prints, not this one.<\/p>\n<p>The second-order read is wrapper demand, not spot direction. Creations at this scale confirm an institutional bid into listed bitcoin and ether vehicles on a breakout day. They do not tell an allocator whether authorized participants will still be creating on Friday. Do not mark $517 million as a weekly figure. Do not treat IBIT\u2019s single-source $285 million line as independently confirmed. The dual-sourced fact is the complex: about $517 million into bitcoin ETFs and about $189 million into ether ETFs on August 19.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>HedgeCo.Net \u2014 U.S. spot bitcoin ETFs took in $517 million on August 19, their largest daily inflow since early May, while ether ETFs pulled in $189 million, their biggest since Oct\u2026 <a class=\"continue_reading_link btn btn-mini\" href=\"https:\/\/hedgeco.net\/news\/08\/2026\/spot-bitcoin-etfs-took-in-517-million-on-august-19-ether-189-million.html\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":95493,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[16282],"tags":[18712,605,18564,19084,19083,18711,18890],"class_list":["post-95494","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-crypto","tag-bitcoin-etf","tag-blackrock","tag-etf-flows","tag-etha","tag-ether-etf","tag-ibit","tag-sosovalue"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/hedgeco.net\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/95494","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/hedgeco.net\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/hedgeco.net\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hedgeco.net\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/8"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hedgeco.net\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=95494"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/hedgeco.net\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/95494\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hedgeco.net\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/95493"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/hedgeco.net\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=95494"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hedgeco.net\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=95494"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hedgeco.net\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=95494"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
