Spot Bitcoin funds pulled $517.19 million on August 19, then $606.3 million on the 20th and $307.5 million on the 21st, with BlackRock's IBIT accounting for the majority of each print. Weekly totals reached $1.9 billion for Bitcoin products and $697.2 million for Ether. It is a sharp reversal from a year that had run billions net negative, and it complicates the pure short-squeeze reading of this rally, since squeezes do not typically show up in creation baskets.
