According to Lookonchain’s latest data from August 29th, spot Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs continued to demonstrate robust investor demand throughout the trading session. The ETF market saw significant capital deployment across both major digital assets, signaling ongoing institutional engagement.

Bitcoin ETF Inflows Reach 1578 BTC as BlackRock Expands Holdings

Digital asset investment vehicles focused on Bitcoin recorded a combined net capital inflow of 1,578 BTC on the day in question, equivalent to approximately $174 million in fresh capital. Among the various Bitcoin ETF options, iShares Bitcoin Trust managed by BlackRock emerged as the leading recipient, capturing 568 BTC worth around $62.738 million. This latest purchase brings iShares’ total Bitcoin reserves to 746,584 BTC, representing approximately $8.25 billion in aggregate value—underscoring the massive scale of institutional accumulation through these investment vehicles.

Ethereum ETFs Experience Stronger Inflows With 12,489 ETH Addition

The Ethereum ETF market demonstrated even more pronounced capital inflows, with nine different Ethereum-focused ETF products collectively receiving 12,489 ETH (approximately $54.86 million). BlackRock’s iShares platform proved particularly attractive to investors in the Ethereum space, recording an inflow of 15,127 ETH valued at roughly $66.45 million. The iShares Ethereum holdings now stand at 3,777,263 ETH, equivalent to $1.659 billion—reflecting the substantial institutional positioning in the second-largest cryptocurrency.

Market Implications of Continued ETF Demand

The sustained inflows into both Bitcoin and Ethereum ETF products suggest that institutional investors remain constructive on digital asset valuations. BlackRock’s continued acquisitions through its iShares offerings demonstrate that major financial institutions continue to view crypto exposure as a strategic allocation within diversified portfolios. These flow patterns provide meaningful insight into professional market sentiment during periods of market consolidation.
