Bitcoin’s price surged 44% this quarter to about $85,000, as reported in the available data, representing the change measured over the most recent quarter covered by those figures. August’s spot ETF inflows totaled $3.52 billion, which is the reported aggregate for that month in the same dataset. Spot ETFs are down $450 million on a year-to-date basis, reflecting the reported net outflow position for the year so far. The month-to-date inflow of $1.31 billion is included among these recent monthly and quarterly flow figures and represents the accumulation reported for the current month to date. These reported price and flow figures occurred in the same recent reporting period and were presented together in the underlying data.
The quarterly price gain, the August monthly inflow and the year-to-date flow position together record the recent market movements documented in the reported figures. This section does not include macro event details.
