Creations accelerated on the second green session. [Farside Investors](https://farside.co.uk/btc/) logged **+$233.1 million** of net inflows into U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs on **July 30**, after Wednesday's light **+$32.1 million** had only stopped a four-day redemption run. Spot cooperated on the settle: Crypto.com Exchange closed BTC/USDT at **$64,775.46**, about **$792** above Wednesday's **$63,982.99**.

## A broader book than Wednesday's split print

Thursday's product table looked nothing like Wednesday's tug-of-war. BlackRock's [IBIT](https://farside.co.uk/btc/) created **+$183.4 million**. Bitwise's BITB added **+$20.7 million**. Fidelity's FBTC created **+$15.5 million**. Morgan Stanley's product printed **+$7.4 million**. Smaller greens came from VanEck (**+$2.3 million**), a Grayscale mini line (**+$2.3 million**), and ARK's ARKB (**+$1.5 million**). No Farside line printed a material redemption on the day.

That is a different shape from July 29, when IBIT's **+$89.8 million** had to clear FBTC (**−$43.1 million**) and ARKB (**−$14.6 million**) redemptions to leave a thin **+$32.1 million** net. Two cash sessions of creations now total about **$265 million**. That does not erase the prior four-day redemption stretch of roughly **−$526 million** (July 23–24 about **−$465 million**, then July 27 **−$11.6 million** and July 28 **−$49.7 million**). It does put two consecutive green primary-market days on the board after that washout, and Thursday's size is in the same league as mid-July creation days rather than a token bounce.

Primary-market flows track creations and redemptions of ETF shares, not every secondary trade. A **+$233.1 million** day is a clear institutional pulse. It is still well short of the seven-session creation run from July 14 through July 22 that stacked about **$999 million** before the late-July redemptions hit.

## Spot reclaimed mid-$64Ks, then Friday fades

Settled Crypto.com 1D closes map the bounce. Monday finished **$63,750.88**. Tuesday **$63,927.62**. Wednesday, with the Fed hold and the first green ETF print, closed **$63,982.99**. Thursday's inflow day settled **$64,775.46** after a session high near **$65,187** and a low near **$63,591**.

As of about **09:31 UTC** on **July 31**, BTC/USDT last near **$63,710** on Crypto.com (intraday; the July 31 candle is still forming and is **not** a settled close). The session so far has traded a high near **$65,411** and a low near **$63,685**, so the post-settle giveback is real and still open. Ethereum settled Thursday at **$1,918.52** after Wednesday's **$1,910.78**, and traded near **$1,885** at the same Friday snapshot. Those Friday marks keep moving until 00:00 UTC.

The instrument split is plain: the primary market printed a solid creation day while the spot book is giving back part of Thursday's settle into the U.S. Friday session. Neither print by itself sets next week's path.

## Chart: creations firm, mood slips into Extreme Fear

The series pairs settled daily closes (and Friday's still-forming candle) with the [Crypto Fear & Greed Index](https://alternative.me/crypto/fear-and-greed-index/). Price climbed into Thursday's mid-$64K settle, then softens on Friday's open session. The once-daily mood composite sits at **25** (Extreme Fear), three points softer than Thursday's **28** (Fear).



*BTC price vs the Crypto Fear & Greed Index, July 24–31. The July 31 point is an intraday read as of ~09:31 UTC, not a settled close. Sources: [Crypto.com Exchange](https://crypto.com/exchange) 1D candles and [alternative.me](https://alternative.me/crypto/fear-and-greed-index/).*

That gap is the day's second story. Creations of **+$233.1 million** did not lift the composite out of fear territory; the gauge moved the other way into Extreme Fear. Spot and authorized-participant activity can improve while the multi-factor mood read stays heavy. Treat them as separate instruments, not as one signal.

## What two green days actually settle

Stack the settled facts without stretching them into a trend call. After four cash reds of about **−$526 million**, U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs printed **+$32.1 million** on **July 29** and **+$233.1 million** on **July 30**, with IBIT alone creating **+$183.4 million** on the bigger day. Spot settled Thursday at **$64,775** after a low-$63K base, then traded near **$63.7K** early Friday. Fear & Greed sits at **25**. None of that is a forecast of the next Farside line or of Friday's settle. Creations can reverse on any cash session, and an intraday mark near **$63.7K** can finish above or below where it sits now. For now the reading is description only: **+$233.1 million** of U.S. spot Bitcoin ETF inflows on **July 30** (IBIT **+$183.4 million**), second green day, Thursday settle **$64,775**, Extreme Fear at **25**, and Friday's candle still open. That is not a recommendation to buy or sell bitcoin or any ETF.
