That week more than covers the [August 10–14 stretch of about $385 million](/en/posts/2026-08-15-etf-outflow-56m-aug-14-ibit/) in net redemptions, and it sits on top of the first August week's creations. [TFTC's August table](https://www.tftc.io/bitcoin-etf-flows/august-2026), reading the same Farside cells, puts month-to-date at about **$2.4 billion** across 15 trading days, 11 inflows against 4 outflows, with August 20 still the biggest session. Farside's lifetime total is **$53.78 billion**. [BlackRock's IBIT product page](https://www.ishares.com/us/products/333011/ishares-bitcoin-trust-etf) put Friday's NAV at **$43.66**, up **$2.57** or **6.25 percent**, with net assets about **$58.8 billion**. The Nasdaq close was **$43.68** on **119.0 million** shares, a heavier secondary tape than Thursday's **108.2 million**. The benchmark on that page, the CME CF Bitcoin Reference Rate New York Variant, printed **$77,112.83**, about **$1,231** below Crypto.com's UTC 1D settle of **$78,344.39**. Spot kept trading after the listed close, as it did on Thursday. ## Friday locked $78K; the weekend settled; Monday is still open Settled 1D closes on Crypto.com now include the weekend the [Sunday recap](/en/posts/2026-08-23-btc-recovers-sunday-long-flush/) had to leave forming. Friday ran **$73,014.49–$79,525.99** and settled **$78,344.39**. Saturday settled **$77,074.12**. Sunday opened on that print, sank to **$75,550.89**, tagged **$78,059.40**, and locked **$77,735.91**. Ethereum settled Friday at **$2,516.47**, Saturday at **$2,422.37**, and Sunday at **$2,463.28**. Monday's candle is still forming. BTC/USDT opened the UTC day at **$77,741.75** and, as of about **12:15 UTC** on **August 24**, last traded near **$78,139** on [Crypto.com Exchange](https://crypto.com/exchange), after a session range of **$76,660.61–$78,592.78**. That last is **intraday**, not a close. The August 24 1D candle stays open until 00:00 UTC. Ethereum traded near **$2,484** at the same snapshot, after a session range of **$2,424.30–$2,508.97**. U.S. authorized participants do not create or redeem until the cash session opens later in the morning Eastern, so Monday's flow row is still blank. The series pairs settled daily closes (and Monday's still-forming candle) with the [Crypto Fear & Greed Index](https://alternative.me/crypto/fear-and-greed-index/). Price left the $64,000s last Monday, locked the $78,000s on Friday, gave some of it back through the weekend, and has spent the first Monday hours climbing back into the $78,000s. *BTC price vs the Crypto Fear & Greed Index, August 17–24. Friday settled $78,344 after tagging $79,526. Sunday locked $77,736. Monday's still-open candle is an intraday read as of ~12:15 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 read **31** (Fear) on August 17, climbed to **72** (Greed) on Friday, eased to **66** on Sunday, and prints **73** this morning. Mood made a new week high, and the coin has spent Monday trading within a few hundred dollars of Friday's settle without retaking that **$79,525.99** session high. Friday's $307.5 million is already in Farside's table. Monday's last on Crypto.com will keep moving until 00:00 UTC, and today's creation row does not exist until the U.S. cash session opens. None of the figures above is a reason to buy or sell. --- ## 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.
