United States spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) have maintained positive flows for eight out of the past ten consecutive trading days.&nbsp;
On Aug. 20, the <a href="https://cointelegraph.com/learn/bitcoin-etfs-a-beginners-guide-to-exchange-traded-funds" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">ETFs</a> saw an aggregate inflow of $88 million, their highest for two weeks <a href="https://farside.co.uk/btc/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">according</a> to preliminary data from Farside Investors.
It marks 80% of the past fortnight’s Bitcoin (<a href="https://cointelegraph.com/bitcoin-price" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">BTC</a>) ETF trading days seeing positive flows, with just two days — Aug. 9 and Aug. 14 — seeing an outflow.
BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) led the pack with an inflow of $55.4 million, bringing the total net inflow for the product since its launch in January to $20.5 billion.
IBIT, which <a href="https://cointelegraph.com/news/blackrock-ibit-overtakes-gbtc-largest-bitcoin-etf" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">surpassed longtime Bitcoin ETF player Grayscale</a> in terms of assets under management (AUM), has not seen an outflow day since May 1 — the only day of net outflows it has had since it launched in January.
The Ark 21Shares Bitcoin ETF (ARKB) was a close second with an inflow of $51.9 million on Aug. 20.

Grayscale’s flagship fund has lost $19.6 billion since its conversion to an ETF seven months ago. Its lower-fee Bitcoin Mini Trust (BTC) has gained just $288 million since its launch on July 31.
It was also recently reported that 60% of the largest hedge funds in the United States have <a href="https://cointelegraph.com/news/over-50-us-hedge-funds-exposure-bitcoin-btc-stocks" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">exposure</a> to Bitcoin ETFs, <a href="https://twitter.com/macromule/status/1825564790489579902" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">according</a> to Sam Baker, researcher at investment firm River.

<a href="https://cointelegraph.com/learn/spot-ethereum-etf" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Spot Ether ETFs</a>, meanwhile, have seen five out of the past eight trading days outflowing assets.
Aug. 20 saw the nine newly launched spot Ether (<a href="https://cointelegraph.com/ethereum-price" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">ETH</a>) ETFs post joint net outflows of $6.5 million, making their fourth consecutive day of outflows, per Farside Investors.
BlackRock’s iShares Ethereum Trust (ETHA) had $26.8 million in net inflows, not enough to outpace the $37 million net outflow from Grayscale’s Ethereum Trust (ETHE).
