Bitcoin ETFs 'turning a corner' ⤴️

U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs notched three consecutive days of inflows into this week—only to post another day of outflows. Is the losing streak petering out, or is it just a blip?

U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs notched three consecutive days of inflows in recent days, drawing in roughly $510 million—their largest since outflows began in early May. CoinShares analyst James Butterfill argued that sentiment “might be turning a corner” on the news, but hopes that the drawn-out negative streak was winding down were short-lived.

The analyst said the recent streak of outflows represented 8% of assets under management for Bitcoin ETFs, mirroring activity during cycle lows in 2018. On Wednesday, those outflows resumed, with the ETFs shedding another $85 million. Butterfill warned that fears of tighter monetary policy in the U.S. could keep Bitcoin rangebound, as the Federal Reserve continues fighting inflation as the Middle East conflict intensifies.

Who will win the Clacton by-election?
Farage 91%8% Count Binface
  
Why it matters
Nigel Farage resigned as Clacton MP Tuesday after a parliamentary probe into an undeclared £5 million donation from a Thailand-based crypto billionaire—then announced he'd contest the resulting by-election, expected August 6, per ITV News. Labour, the Conservatives, Lib Dems, and Greens are all boycotting. That leaves Farage—who won Clacton with 46% in 2024—effectively running against satirical candidate Count Binface. The standards inquiry resumes if Farage wins.
