• Miss Bitcoin ETFs pull in $900 million in a week, the fastest pace since early MayThe $900 million weekly inflow around July 22 did occur, but inflows then dropped off sharply: the week ending 7/24 shrank to $33.79 million, and the week ending 7/31 flipped to a net outflow of $61.53 million (Farside's tally shows a single-day outflow of -$265.4 million on 7/31). An 8/4 report explicitly stated that inflows were slowing and capital was rotating into AI funds, so the predicted accelerating inflow trend did not recur.
