# ETFs +$137.3M Aug 17; FBTC carries Monday > U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs posted a $137.3M net inflow on August 17. FBTC created $111.9M; IBIT's Farside cell is still a dash. Monday settled $64,540; Tuesday holds near $64.8K. - **Source:** https://ptycoin.com/en/posts/2026-08-18-etf-inflow-137m-aug-17-fbtc/ - **Published:** 2026-08-18 - **Category:** Markets - **Author:** Lucía - **Tags:** bitcoin, etf, fear-greed, ethereum, institutional - **Also published in:** [Español](https://ptycoin.com/es/posts/2026-08-18-etf-inflow-137m-aug-17-fbtc/) --- Fidelity's Wise Origin Bitcoin Fund put Monday's green line on the board. [Farside Investors](https://farside.co.uk/btc/) printed a **+$137.3 million** net inflow into U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs on **August 17**, and [FBTC supplied $111.9 million](https://x.com/FarsideUK/status/2089510856304300389) of that total. BlackRock's IBIT, usually the column that decides the day, is still a dash. ## Fidelity first, IBIT unpublished The fund columns, left to right. FBTC created **+$111.9 million**. ARK 21Shares' ARKB created **+$14.2 million**. Morgan Stanley's MSBT created **+$11.2 million**, the same print as [Farside's MSBT post](https://x.com/FarsideUK/status/2089478273088541104). Bitwise's BITB, Invesco, Franklin, Valkyrie, VanEck, WisdomTree, and both Grayscale lines printed **0.0**. IBIT is marked **-**. On this table a dash means the cell has not been published, which is a different fact from a confirmed **0.0**. [FinanceFeeds](https://financefeeds.com/bitcoin-etfs-rebound-with-137-3-million-inflow-on-august-17-as-fidelity-leads-buying/), reading the same sheet, treats IBIT as unavailable rather than flat. That is the reverse shape of [Friday](/en/posts/2026-08-15-etf-outflow-56m-aug-14-ibit/). Then IBIT redeemed **−$55.5 million** and almost the entire **−$56.2 million** session lived in one wrapper. Monday the biggest product has no printed flow, and the second-largest one did the creating. FBTC also repaired its own week. The fund redeemed **−$46.8 million** on [August 12](/en/posts/2026-08-13-etf-outflow-61m-aug-12-ibit-fbtc/), **−$55.1 million** on August 13, and **−$6.8 million** on Friday: **$108.7 million** out in three cash sessions. Monday's **$111.9 million** creation covers that stretch for Fidelity and then a little more. A Farside daily line is the authorized-participant window, the creations and redemptions of fund shares. It is a different tape from every IBIT or FBTC print on Nasdaq. Sum the three green columns and you get **$137.3 million**. Across August 12–14 the complex had taken out **$248.4 million**; Monday put back a bit more than half of that pile in a single cash session. [BlackRock's IBIT product page](https://www.ishares.com/us/products/333011/ishares-bitcoin-trust-etf) is a separate book. Monday's NAV printed **$36.42**, up **$0.83** or **2.34%**, with net assets about **$48.0 billion**. That NAV move follows the coin. It does not fill in the missing flow cell. Ethereum products added a small companion line. [Farside's ETH table](https://farside.co.uk/eth/) shows **+$5.0 million** on August 17: Fidelity's FETH **+$4.3 million**, Bitwise's ETHW **+$0.7 million**, and dashes in both BlackRock ETH columns. After [Friday's all-zero ETH sheet](/en/posts/2026-08-15-etf-outflow-56m-aug-14-ibit/), Monday was a Fidelity day on that side too. ## Weekend parked near $63k; Monday cleared $64.5k Settled Crypto.com 1D closes draw the path. Friday **August 14** locked **$63,048.33**. Saturday held **$63,088.74** inside a **$289** range. Sunday slipped to **$62,900.42**. Monday then ran **$62,745.34–$64,637.60** and settled **$64,539.91**, about **$1,492** above Friday and **$1,639** above Sunday. The product table and the coin moved together. Tuesday's candle is still forming. BTC/USDT opened the UTC day on Monday's settle and, as of about **14:37 UTC** on **August 18**, last traded near **$64,806** on [Crypto.com Exchange](https://crypto.com/exchange), with the open session so far ranging about **$64,035–$65,062**. That Tuesday mark is **intraday**; the August 18 1D bar does not settle until 00:00 UTC. Ethereum settled Monday at **$1,913.71** after Friday's **$1,882.21**, and traded near **$1,913** at the same snapshot. ## Chart: Monday's jump, Fear still under 50 The series pairs settled daily closes (and Tuesday's still-forming candle) with the [Crypto Fear & Greed Index](https://alternative.me/crypto/fear-and-greed-index/). Price spent the weekend pinned near $63,000. Monday's settle cleared $64,500 on the creation day. Tuesday has added a few hundred dollars more, tagging $65,062 before easing, while the mood gauge jumped ten points and stayed in Fear. *BTC price vs the Crypto Fear & Greed Index, August 11–18. Monday settled $64,540 after a $1,892 session range; Tuesday's still-open candle is holding the upper-$64,000s. The August 18 point is an intraday read as of ~14:37 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/).* The composite sat at **34** (Fear) on Saturday and Sunday, **31** on Monday, and **41** (still Fear) on Tuesday. A ten-point lift on a green product day is the largest step in this window, and it is still a Fear reading. ## What Monday put back From the August 3 reopen through Monday the complex is about **$617.4 million** net positive: the [first week's $865.3 million](/en/posts/2026-08-09-etf-inflow-102m-aug-7-fifth-day/) of creations, then [August 10–14's $385.2 million](/en/posts/2026-08-15-etf-outflow-56m-aug-14-ibit/) of net redemptions, then Monday's **+$137.3 million**. Farside's lifetime total sits near **$52.0 billion**. Monday's sheet is narrow. FBTC created **$111.9 million**, the complex printed **+$137.3 million**, IBIT's cell is still a dash, bitcoin settled **$64,540**, and Tuesday is holding the upper-$64,000s with Fear at **41**. A second creation day would thicken the restart. A redemption day would hand the $137.3 million back. The next Farside row settles that, not this page. This is a read of Monday's print and the tape since then, 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.
