The cryptocurrency market continues to demonstrate impressive investment attraction figures. U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs have recorded inflows for 4 consecutive trading days. On Thursday, August 20, they attracted nearly $606.2 million from investors, according to SoSoValue data.

In August, the total volume of investments in Bitcoin ETFs has already reached $2.07 billion, exceeding the previous monthly record of $1.97 billion, which was recorded in April of this year. Over the entire period of existence of exchange‑traded funds based on the flagship cryptocurrency, the total inflow of funds amounted to $53.4 billion.

Alongside Bitcoin, there is an active growth in interest in Ethereum. ETFs based on the leading altcoin have shown the most significant daily inflow since October of last year. On Thursday, they attracted $220.8 million. Over the week, ETH funds raised approximately $512.2 million, bringing the total volume to $13.58 billion. XRP‑based funds saw an inflow of approximately $13 million during the last trading session, while products on Solana recorded inflows of about $15 million. Interest in crypto funds is starting to gain momentum again after a large‑scale recovery of digital assets. Over the past 24 hours, Bitcoin has risen in price by more than 8%, testing the $79,000 mark, and Ethereum has gained 5.2%. The increase in investment inflows into exchange-traded funds reflects the restoration of institutional and retail investors' confidence in the cryptocurrency market amid positive regulatory signals and a general rally in digital assets.
