Monday’s creations were larger than Friday’s, and the same UTC day bitcoin printed $80,011.98. Farside Investors put U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs at +$337.6 million net on August 24, a sixth cash session in the green. BlackRock’s IBIT created $208.9 million. Fidelity’s FBTC created $104.6 million, more than three times Friday’s Fidelity cell.
Fidelity’s $105 million cell
Six funds created and none redeemed. IBIT +$208.9 million. FBTC +$104.6 million. Grayscale’s mini BTC +$16.4 million. VanEck’s HODL +$3.3 million. Bitwise’s BITB +$3.0 million. Morgan Stanley’s MSBT +$1.4 million. ARK, Invesco, Franklin, Valkyrie, WisdomTree, and GBTC printed 0.0. Farside’s bundled card matches the live table: 337.6 net, IBIT 208.9, FBTC 104.6, no outflow column.
Those six green cells sum to $337.6 million. IBIT is about 62 percent of the net. FBTC is about 31 percent. Together they are 93 percent. Compare that with Friday, when IBIT did 78 percent of a $307.5 million sheet and Fidelity’s cell was $30.2 million, and with Thursday, when IBIT did 83 percent of $606.3 million. Monday is still a BlackRock day. It is also Fidelity’s second nine-figure cell of the streak, after August 17’s $111.9 million.
Some morning recaps printed about $128.7 million before IBIT’s cell filled in. FinanceFeeds ran that incomplete Bitcoin total. Subtract IBIT’s $208.9 million from $337.6 million and you get $128.7 million, the rest of the sheet. That is the same restatement pattern as August 17, when the morning board was $137.3 million until IBIT posted. The live Farside table and the bundled card now agree on 337.6.
Ethereum products stayed green. Farside’s ETH table shows +$115.6 million. ETHA created $90.9 million. Grayscale’s mini ETH +$12.5 million, Fidelity’s FETH +$6.8 million, VanEck’s ETHV +$4.5 million, Bitwise’s ETHW +$0.9 million. The other five ETH funds printed 0.0. The ETH total card matches 115.6. ETHA is about 79 percent of that net.
Six cash days, $2.26 billion
August 17 is +$297.5 million. August 18 is +$189.3 million. August 19 is +$517.2 million. August 20 is +$606.3 million. August 21 is +$307.5 million. August 24 is +$337.6 million. Six sessions: $2,255.4 million. IBIT took $1,539.7 million of that, about 68 percent. Fidelity added $397.7 million. Monday is the streak’s third-largest day, behind Thursday and Wednesday, and it is larger than Friday.
The six ETH sessions in the same window add $808.2 million (30.9 + 71.4 + 186.8 + 219.5 + 184.0 + 115.6). Bitcoin plus ether creations for the six days land around $3.06 billion.
That six-day total more than covers the August 10–14 stretch of about $385 million in net redemptions, and it sits on top of the first August week’s $865.3 million. From the August 3 reopen through Monday the complex is about $2.74 billion net positive across 16 cash sessions, 12 inflows against 4 outflows, with August 20 still the biggest day. Farside’s lifetime total is $54.11 billion.
BlackRock’s IBIT product page put Monday’s NAV at $44.64, up $0.98 or 2.24 percent, with net assets about $60.3 billion. The Nasdaq close was $44.64 on 96.3 million shares, lighter listed volume than Friday’s 119.0 million. The benchmark on that page, the CME CF Bitcoin Reference Rate New York Variant, printed $78,843.02, about $146 under Crypto.com’s UTC 1D settle of $78,988.64. The coin kept trading after the listed session ended.
Monday tagged $80K, settled $79K
Settled 1D candles on Crypto.com now include Monday. Friday ran $73,014.49–$79,525.99 and settled $78,344.39. Saturday settled $77,074.12. Sunday locked $77,735.91. Monday opened at $77,741.75, printed a $76,660.61 low, tagged $80,011.98, and settled $78,988.64. That high is the first print through $80,000 since this bounce left the $64,000s last week. It did not hold into the UTC close. Ethereum settled Monday at $2,482.32 after tagging $2,533.49.
Tuesday’s candle is still forming. BTC/USDT opened the UTC day at $78,988.65 and, as of about 09:36 UTC on August 25, last traded near $79,880 on Crypto.com Exchange, after a session range of $78,706.08–$81,271.25. That last is intraday, not a close. The August 25 1D candle stays open until 00:00 UTC. Ethereum traded near $2,489 at the same snapshot, after a session range of $2,464.06–$2,532.01. U.S. authorized participants do not create or redeem until the cash session opens later in the morning Eastern, so Tuesday’s flow row is still blank.
Decrypt had framed $80,000 as the next test on Monday morning, when the coin was still in the $77,000s. The Kansas City Fed’s Jackson Hole symposium runs August 27–29 under the theme “Financial Innovation: Implications for Payments and Policy.” That is the week’s calendar. It is not a reading of anyone’s speech.
The chart below pairs settled daily closes, plus Tuesday’s still-forming candle, with the Crypto Fear & Greed Index. Price left the $64,000s last week, locked the $78,000s on Friday, tagged $80,000 on Monday, and has spent Tuesday’s open hours running a high of $81,271.25.
BTC price vs the Crypto Fear & Greed Index, August 18–25. Monday settled $78,989 after tagging $80,012. Tuesday’s still-open candle is an intraday read as of ~09:36 UTC, not a settled close. Sources: Crypto.com Exchange 1D candles and alternative.me.
The composite read 41 (Fear) on August 18, climbed to 72 (Greed) on Friday, eased to 66 on Sunday, printed 73 on Monday, and prints 74 this morning. The gauge is at a week high while the coin spends the first Tuesday hours above Monday’s settle.
Monday’s $337.6 million is on Farside’s sheet. Tuesday’s Crypto.com last will keep moving until 00:00 UTC, and today’s creation row does not exist until the U.S. cash session opens. None of those prints is a reason to buy or sell.
