Bitcoin spot ETFs recorded inflows of $924.48 million over the week, signaling continued institutional interest despite a sharp pullback on Friday. Ethereum ETF funds maintained their momentum as well, with daily inflows continuing uninterrupted since August 11. The pattern indicates that investors retain their appetite for crypto assets while remaining sensitive to shifts in the monetary policy landscape.

Spot ETF flows have become one of the most closely watched gauges of institutional crypto demand since these funds launched in the United States in January 2024, with large asset managers including BlackRock and Fidelity among the primary vehicles for that exposure.

Bitcoin is currently trading at $78,030, with $65.77 billion in daily trading volume, a market capitalization of $1.57 trillion, and 59.77% market dominance. The BTC price slipped 0.13% over the last 24 hours. Bitcoin continues to face resistance after falling away from the $81,000–$83,000 supply zone.

Daily figures show Bitcoin spot ETFs took in $337.56 million on Monday, $314.37 million on Tuesday, $232.12 million on Wednesday, and $242.24 million on Thursday. On Friday, Bitcoin spot ETF funds saw a net outflow of $201.81 million, ending nine consecutive sessions of inflows. The negative move followed a hawkish statement from Federal Reserve Chairman Kevin Warsh at Jackson Hole, the annual economic policy symposium where Fed leaders have historically used their remarks to signal shifts in the monetary policy outlook — a pattern crypto markets have repeatedly reacted to in real time.

Bitcoin Spot ETF Demand Holds Despite Reversal

Despite Friday's outflow, Bitcoin funds accumulated nearly $3 billion over the past two weeks. According to SoSoValue data, cumulative total net inflows rose from less than $52.8 billion on August 14 to $54.63 billion on August 28.

Bitcoin spot ETFs delivered another positive week of performance after a crypto-market rebound tied to expectations of a change in U.S. monetary policy. Net inflows into Bitcoin ETFs in the previous week were roughly $2 billion, the fastest pace since the October 2025 correction in the crypto market. The two-week stretch suggests that Friday's single-session reversal has not yet translated into a sustained withdrawal from the products, though consecutive weekly flow reports will show whether the hawkish Fed messaging alters that trajectory.

Bitcoin Faces Rejection Below Key $83K Resistance

Bitcoin is facing renewed downside pressure after rejecting the $81,000–$83,000 higher-timeframe supply zone, according to a recent post by crypto analyst Crypto Patel. The analyst said BTC produced a decisive bearish daily close after failing to establish acceptance above the resistance area. The rejection follows Bitcoin's climb above $80,000 in late August, when the asset reached around $81,238 during its recent rally.

Market participants are also watching technical indicators. Crypto Patel noted that Bitcoin faced rejection at the $81,000–$83,000 high-timeframe resistance zone, suggesting downside risks remain while prices stay below that level. Investors will closely monitor upcoming Federal Reserve signals, U.S. economic data, and Bitcoin spot ETF flow trends to determine whether Friday's outflow represents a temporary pause or the beginning of a broader market consolidation.
