U.S. Spot Bitcoin ETP Flows

We estimate U.S. spot Bitcoin ETP preliminary net sales of $518mn on

Wednesday, August 19, 2026, its best day of net sales since early May 2026.

BlackRock’s IBIT gathered $285mn yesterday, just ~55% of the group’s net flows.

Sizable contributors include ARKInvest/21Shares’ ARKB and Fidelity’s FBTC

which each attracted $78mn and $63mn, respectively. Other contributors are

detailed below in Table 1. Altogether, the group’s AUM totaled $84,312mn, up

~7.0% sequentially, per Bloomberg pricing, as crypto tokens reacted to a positive

tone coming from President Trump’s meeting including both crypto and traditional

capital markets CEOs in the White House yesterday afternoon. Aggregate notional

trading volumes also jumped sequentially to $6,894mn, well ahead of the running

daily average of ~$3,218mn/day since the January 2024 launch.
