Bitcoin grabs 77% of $1.3 billion crypto fund surge as BlackRock leads the rebound

Bitcoin accounted for 77.4% of the $1.297 billion in inflows recorded across US Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana crypto ETPs from Aug. 17 through Aug. 19, making the rebound heavily Bitcoin-weighted in dollar terms.

Farside Investors' Bitcoin table shows $297.5 million of net inflows on Aug. 17, $189.3 million on Aug. 18, and $517.2 million on Aug. 19. That puts the three-session Bitcoin total at $1.004 billion.

The Ethereum table shows $30.9 million, $71.4 million, and $186.8 million across the same sessions, for $289.1 million in total. Solana funds recorded zero, $1.6 million, and $2.5 million, respectively, for a three-session total of $4.1 million.

Across the three sessions, Bitcoin funds averaged $334.7 million per day, roughly 4.1 times the $81.0 million historical daily average displayed by Farside. Ethereum averaged about $96.4 million per day, roughly 4.3 times its displayed $22.6 million average. Solana averaged about $1.4 million, roughly 24% of its displayed $5.6 million average.

The figures show that Ethereum also participated in the rebound, although Bitcoin attracted most of the dollars. Solana's recent pace remained well below its own table average.

The Bitcoin inflows were concentrated in three products. BlackRock's IBIT contributed $588.5 million over Aug. 17-19, while Fidelity's FBTC added $198.2 million. ARK 21Shares' ARKB supplied $111.6 million across the three sessions, including $77.7 million on Aug. 19.

BlackRock's iShares Ethereum Trust (ETHA) led Ethereum with $212.7 million over the three sessions. Among Solana products, Bitwise Solana Staking ETF (BSOL) supplied $7.2 million across Aug. 18-19, partly offset by a $3.1 million Grayscale Solana Trust ETF outflow on Aug. 19.

The comparison has an important limit: the tables track different numbers of products and do not provide aggregate category assets under management. They also may not capture the entire US crypto ETP universe. Morgan Stanley, for example, launched its Ethereum Trust and Solana Trust on July 28, although neither product currently appears in Farside's corresponding flow tables.

The historical-average comparison is therefore a rough check on each group's pace rather than a full AUM-adjusted demand measure.

Across the three sessions, both Bitcoin and Ethereum accelerated sharply relative to their historical daily averages, while Solana remained below its own.
