The first is the Coldcard exploit, which began on July 30 when attackers drained self-custody wallets with weakly generated seed phrases.<\/p>\n<p>TRM Labs reported over $116M stolen from more than 5,200 addresses, while Galaxy Research estimates the total could be closer to $130M, marking it as one of the largest crypto thefts of 2026.<\/p>\n<p>Eric Balchunas from Bloomberg Intelligence suggested that an ETF could be a solution, as ETF holders do not manage seed phrases directly, negating that risk entirely.<\/p>\n<p>Supporting this view, long-term holders moved around 210,000 BTC following the exploit, with more coins being transferred to exchanges than leaving them, a reversal from a two-year trend.<\/p>\n<p>The second event is the July jobs report released on August 7, which showed a decline in payrolls, making another Federal Reserve rate hike less likely.<\/p>\n<p>Surprisingly, most inflows into Bitcoin, $754.69M of $853.54M, occurred before the jobs report, with the largest influx on Friday producing only $98.85M, just as Bitcoin saw its price rally.<\/p>\n<h2>Bitcoin ETF News: The Concentration Risk Nobody\u2019s Pricing In<\/h2>\n<p class=\"p1\">\n<div class=\"chart crypto-chart-instance\" id=\"crypto_chart_6a7a1ce5e9a3b\" data-coin-id=\"bitcoin\">\n<div class=\"chart__header\">\n<div class=\"chart__info\">\n<div class=\"chart__info-icon\">\n\t\t\t\t<img id=\"crypto_chart_6a7a1ce5e9a3b-chart__info-icon-img\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"chart__info-name\" id=\"crypto_chart_6a7a1ce5e9a3b-chart__info-name\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"chart__info-symbol\" id=\"crypto_chart_6a7a1ce5e9a3b-chart__info-symbol\"><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"chart__info-current\">\n<div class=\"chart__info-price\" id=\"crypto_chart_6a7a1ce5e9a3b-chart__info-price\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"chart__info-change\" id=\"crypto_chart_6a7a1ce5e9a3b-chart__info-change\"><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"chart__info-extra\">\n<div class=\"chart__info-label\">Market Cap<\/div>\n<div class=\"chart__info-marketcap\" id=\"crypto_chart_6a7a1ce5e9a3b-chart__info-marketcap\"><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"chart__controls\">\n<div class=\"chart__controls-group\">\n\t\t\t\t<button class=\"chart__button chart__button--24h\" id=\"crypto_chart_6a7a1ce5e9a3b-btn-24h\">24h<\/button><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t<button class=\"chart__button chart__button--7d\" id=\"crypto_chart_6a7a1ce5e9a3b-btn-7d\">7d<\/button><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t<button class=\"chart__button chart__button--30d\" id=\"crypto_chart_6a7a1ce5e9a3b-btn-30d\">30d<\/button><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t<button class=\"chart__button chart__button--1y\" id=\"crypto_chart_6a7a1ce5e9a3b-btn-1y\">1y<\/button><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t<button class=\"chart__button chart__button--all-time\" id=\"crypto_chart_6a7a1ce5e9a3b-btn-all-time\">All Time<\/button>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"chart__container\">\n\t\t<canvas class=\"chart__canvas\" id=\"crypto_chart_6a7a1ce5e9a3b-cryptoChart\"><\/canvas>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>In other Bitcoin ETF news, two key figures challenge the Bitcoin-to-ETF narrative: IBIT accounted for 81% of the week\u2019s inflows, while Ethereum ETFs gained $244.9M over the same period, according to CoinGlass.<\/p>\n<p>If Coldcard-adjacent holders were increasingly moving from self-custody, we would expect more money to flow into Bitcoin ETFs, not Ethereum ones unrelated to a Bitcoin-only hardware wallet exploit.<\/p>\n<p>Before the hack, Ethereum ETFs outperformed Bitcoin ETFs for three weeks, attracting $103.9M compared to Bitcoin\u2019s $33.79M in the week of July 20.<\/p>\n<p>The reversal in this trend after the exploit supports the custody theory, but it\u2019s still circumstantial; there\u2019s no evidence linking drained Coldcard wallets to specific ETF purchases, and QCP Capital noted limited concern in options markets.<\/p>\n<p>With 81 cents of every new dollar going to a single fund, the category\u2019s health hinges on that issuer\u2019s interest and institutional investors\u2019 decisions.<\/p>\n<h2>What Happens Next Decides Whether This Was Signal or Noise<\/h2>\n<p>If Bitcoin ETF news inflows keep outpacing Ethereum\u2019s through late August, once the Coldcard hack is no longer fresh news, the custody argument holds up: investors genuinely re-rated self-custody risk and moved capital into regulated wrappers.<\/p>\n<p>If Ethereum ETFs go back to out-raising Bitcoin ETFs the way they did for three weeks in July, the more likely explanation is that this was simply a strong macro week for risk assets that happened to follow a hack by coincidence.<\/p>\n<p>Either reading needs more than five days of data to confirm. $853.54M recovers only about a tenth of the $8.26Bn that left the category over the prior eight weeks, and one good week doesn\u2019t erase eight bad ones.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s worth remembering how differently this reads from periods when <a class=\"general-link\" href=\"https:\/\/99bitcoins.com\/news\/bitcoin-btc\/bitcoin-etf-2024-low-volume-dip\/\" rel=\"noopener\">Wall Street\u2019s Bitcoin ETF demand slowed to a near-standstill;<\/a>\u00a0the swing between those two states shows just how sensitive this market remains to a single narrative catching hold.<\/p>\n<p><strong>EXPLORE:\u00a0<a class=\"general-link\" href=\"https:\/\/99bitcoins.com\/cryptocurrency\/next-1000x-crypto\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener sponsored\">Best Crypto Presales With Asymmetric Upside in the Current Market<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<div><strong>Follow\u00a0<a class=\"general-link\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/99bitcoins\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">99Bitcoins on X<\/a>\u00a0For the Latest Market Updates and\u00a0<a class=\"general-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/@99Bitcoins\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Subscribe on YouTube<\/a>\u00a0For Daily Expert Market Analysis.<\/strong><\/div>\n<p>The post <a href=\"https:\/\/99bitcoins.com\/news\/bitcoin-btc\/bitcoin-etf-news-blackrock-inflows\/\">Bitcoin ETF News: BlackRock Captured 81% of ETF Inflows in August Surge<\/a> appeared first on <a href=\"https:\/\/99bitcoins.com\/\">99Bitcoins<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In Bitcoin ETF news today, US-listed spot BTC ETFs pulled in $853.54M in net inflows during the week ended August 7, the strongest weekly haul since mid-April, according to CoinGlass data.
