# ETFs +$7.8M Aug 11; IBIT carries the print > U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs logged a thin $7.8M net inflow on August 11 after Monday’s $144.6M outflow. IBIT +$50.2M carried the complex; spot settled $63,593. - **Source:** https://ptycoin.com/en/posts/2026-08-12-etf-inflow-8m-aug-11-ibit-carries/ - **Published:** 2026-08-12 - **Category:** Markets - **Author:** Lucía - **Tags:** bitcoin, etf, fear-greed, ethereum, institutional - **Also published in:** [Español](https://ptycoin.com/es/posts/2026-08-12-etf-inflow-8m-aug-11-ibit-carries/) --- A one-fund day turned the product table green. [Farside Investors](https://farside.co.uk/btc/) printed a **+$7.8 million** net inflow into U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs on **August 11**, a thin creation session that only flipped positive because BlackRock’s IBIT added **+$50.2 million** while several smaller products redeemed. That print follows Monday’s **−$144.6 million** outflow, which had ended a five-day creation streak of about **$865 million**. Spot kept easing into the green product day: BTC/USDT on [Crypto.com Exchange](https://crypto.com/exchange) settled Tuesday at **$63,592.62**, about **$382** under Monday’s **$63,974.44** close. ## IBIT green, everyone else flat or red Walk the fund lines, not just the total. On August 11, IBIT was the only large creation print at **+$50.2 million**. Against that single green column sat Fidelity’s FBTC at **−$4.1 million**, ARK 21Shares’ ARKB at **−$11.5 million**, Franklin’s EZBC at **−$16.5 million**, and VanEck’s HODL at **−$10.3 million**. Bitwise’s BITB, Invesco, Valkyrie, WisdomTree, Morgan Stanley, and both Grayscale lines printed **0.0**. Sum the reds and you get about **$42.4 million** of redemptions; IBIT’s **$50.2 million** is what left the complex **$7.8 million** net positive. That is a different shape from Monday. On [August 10](/en/posts/2026-08-11-etf-outflow-145m-aug-10-streak-ends/), IBIT, GBTC, FBTC, and BITB all redeemed in the same session, and the aggregate turned **−$144.6 million** even with Grayscale’s smaller BTC product creating **+$37.1 million**. Tuesday’s table is the reverse story: one flagship creation line large enough to paper over several modest redemptions, not a broad authorized-participant bid for stock. Primary-market flow counts authorized-participant creations and redemptions of ETF shares, not every secondary trade on the tape. A **+$7.8 million** day after a **−$144.6 million** day is a soft restart of the green count, not a replay of the prior week’s **$100 million-plus** sessions. Across the seven cash days from August 3 through August 11, the complex is still about **$728.5 million** net positive (**$865.3 million** of creations, then **−$144.6 million**, then **+$7.8 million**). Farside’s lifetime total across the complex sits near **$52.1 billion**. [CoinGlass’s Bitcoin ETF flow table](https://www.coinglass.com/etf/bitcoin) tracked the same August 11 session near **+122 BTC** of net fund inflow, consistent with a small dollar print at mid-$63K coin prices. ## Spot settled softer on the green product day Settled Crypto.com 1D closes map the path into Tuesday’s thin creation print. Friday **August 7** closed **$64,927.10**. The weekend held the mid-$64Ks (Saturday **$64,957.80**, Sunday **$64,897.49**). Monday’s outflow session settled **$63,974.44**. Tuesday then settled **$63,592.62**, a session that ranged about **$63,225–$64,503** before locking another step lower. Relative to Monday, Tuesday closed about **0.6%** softer even as the product table flipped green by a few million dollars. Wednesday’s candle is still forming, and it has already round-tripped. The session opened on Tuesday’s settle, ran up to **$64,520.95**, then handed the whole move back: as of about **14:35 UTC** on **August 12**, BTC/USDT was last near **$63,533** on Crypto.com, a shade *under* Tuesday’s close, with the day’s range running **$63,520–$64,521**. That Wednesday mark is **intraday** on a forming daily candle; the August 12 1D bar does not settle until 00:00 UTC. Ethereum traced the same shape: ETH/USDT settled **$1,882.69** on Tuesday after Monday’s **$1,873.07**, tagged **$1,926.59** early Wednesday, and traded near **$1,891** at the same snapshot. A thin product-level creation day and a spot settle that kept sliding under $64,000 are allowed to disagree. Authorized participants can create a little stock while the exchange tape prints a lower daily close; the reverse can also happen on a large inflow week. Tuesday was the quiet version of that split. ## Chart: soft spot, softer mood The series pairs settled daily closes (and Wednesday’s still-forming candle) with the [Crypto Fear & Greed Index](https://alternative.me/crypto/fear-and-greed-index/). Price eased from the high-$64Ks through the Monday outflow and Tuesday’s soft settle, and Wednesday’s intraday mark has barely moved off that low base while the mood gauge slipped further into Fear. *BTC price vs the Crypto Fear & Greed Index, August 5–August 12. Wednesday tagged $64.5K and gave it back, leaving the intraday mark roughly flat to Tuesday’s settle while sentiment slipped to 27 (Fear). The August 12 point is an intraday read as of ~14:35 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/).* ## Fear stays low while the product table blinks green The composite sat at **30** (Fear) on Monday, **29** on Tuesday, and **27** (still Fear) on **August 12**, per [alternative.me](https://alternative.me/crypto/fear-and-greed-index/). That is a slow grind lower through the week’s product swing, not a panic reset into Extreme Fear and not a relief bounce. The five green sessions earlier in August ran with the gauge stuck between **25** and **29** — Extreme Fear on two of those days — so the streak never bought a sentiment turn; the Monday flush and Tuesday’s thin creation day then arrived with mood still pinned in Fear. For a newcomer: primary-market ETF flow is the authorized-participant pipe into the listed products. Spot is the exchange tape. Fear & Greed is a daily composite of volatility, volume, social chatter, and other inputs. A **+$7.8 million** creation day led by one fund, a Tuesday settle near **$63,593**, and a Fear reading still in the high 20s is a book that reopened green at the product level without a sentiment turn. ## What the thin green line does and does not settle The fixed facts until the next cash session hits Farside’s table: five green days, about **$865 million** of net creations for that stretch, a Monday **−$144.6 million** redemption that ended the streak, and a Tuesday **+$7.8 million** restart carried almost entirely by IBIT. Spot settled softer on that thin green day, and Wednesday’s still-open candle has tried $64,500 and given it back, leaving BTC roughly flat to Tuesday’s close. A broader creation day would re-widen the product bid; a second redemption day would erase Tuesday’s small green mark. Neither outcome is priced here. This is a description of what printed and what the tape has done since, not a forecast and not financial advice. --- ## Keep reading - [How to read a block explorer and verify a transaction](https://ptycoin.com/en/posts/2026-07-07-read-block-explorer-verify-transactions/index.md): A block explorer is the public receipt for every on-chain move.
