BlackRock and Fidelity Lead $265 Million Outflow from Bitcoin ETFs as Ether Price Rises

U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs saw a net outflow of $265.4 million on July 31st, led by BlackRock's iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) with $122.7 million redeemed, followed by Fidelity's FBTC with $54.8 million. This contrasted sharply with the previous day, July 30th, which recorded a net inflow of $233.1 million, largely driven by IBIT. Meanwhile, spot Ethereum ETFs moved in the opposite direction, attracting a net inflow of approximately $9.03 million, with BlackRock's iShares Ethereum Trust (ETHA) leading. This divergence is part of a broader rotation of institutional interest toward altcoin-linked products, with observers linking the renewed interest in Ether to its role in tokenization and stablecoin settlements. The July 31st outflow continues a longer-term trend, marking the third consecutive quarter of net outflows for U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs. Overall assets under management remain around $105 billion, but uncertainty surrounding crypto regulation and Bitcoin's price volatility have heightened investor caution. As the largest fund, IBIT's daily flows are expected to set the tone for the broader Bitcoin ETF market.

Founder of Today's Most Talked-About Altcoin Sells Nearly All His Tokens!

Notable selling activity is occurring with the ASTEROID tokens, reportedly launched by a former BNB Chain employee. According to Lookonchain, the token's developer has made an approximate profit of $628,000 by selling a significant portion of holdings. Data shows the former employee bought 796.7 million ASTEROID tokens (79.67% of the total supply) for $10,000 via four newly created wallets shortly after the token's creation. Subsequently, 718.8 million tokens were sold on the market for approximately 1,103 BNB (~$638,000), resulting in the substantial profit after deducting the initial investment. BNB Chain previously stated that the former employee had unauthorized access to a seed phrase linked to the company's official test wallet and used it to mine the ASTEROID memecoin. The company emphasized that ASTEROID was not created, authorized, or endorsed by BNB Chain and announced it has initiated legal proceedings against the former employee and is cooperating with relevant government authorities.

How to Buy Cryptocurrency Safely in Minnesota (Without ATMs)

Effective August 1, 2026, Minnesota has enacted significant changes for cryptocurrency access. The state has banned cryptocurrency kiosks—ATM-like machines found in convenience stores—due to their frequent use in scams targeting residents, especially seniors. Simultaneously, a new law now allows state-chartered banks and credit unions to offer custodial services for customers' digital assets, providing a regulated alternative. The kiosk ban follows state and FBI investigations revealing millions in losses from scams where victims were pressured to deposit cash. In their place, Minnesotans can purchase crypto through licensed online exchanges or the new bank custody services. These custodial services must adhere to strict rules, including segregating client assets from the bank's own funds, implementing robust security plans, and providing 60-day advance notice to the state before launch. St. Cloud Financial Credit Union has already launched a custody product using a multi-party control model to enhance security. The article provides guidance on verifying exchange licenses, recognizing scam tactics (like high-pressure demands for immediate crypto payment), reporting fraud, understanding tax implications, and the importance of self-custody wallets or bank custody for asset protection in case of an exchange's bankruptcy.

Bitcoin ETFs Record First Net Inflow Month Since April

In July, U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded a net inflow of $172.4 million, ending a two-month streak of outflows according to SoSoValue data. This positive result occurred despite a volatile month-end, which saw a $265.4 million outflow on July 31st and a net weekly outflow of $61.53 million. This inflow follows nearly $7 billion in withdrawals over the prior two months, with June alone experiencing a record $4.5 billion net outflow since the ETFs launched in January 2024. Despite July's gain, the cumulative net outflow for U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs since the start of 2026 remains at approximately $5.29 billion. Only three months in 2026—March, April, and July—have seen inflows, totaling $3.46 billion. Since inception, these products have attracted $51.32 billion in investments, with total net assets reaching $76.29 billion by the end of July. Spot Ethereum ETFs outperformed in July, posting a net inflow of $365.2 million and marking four consecutive weeks of positive flows. This was their second profitable month of 2026 after April. However, their cumulative net flow for the year is still negative at about $1.1 billion. Other cryptocurrency ETFs also saw inflows, with XRP products attracting $27.3 million (bringing their year-to-date total to ~$343 million) and Solana products receiving $14.6 million.

Analysts Support Strategy's Move Away from Pure Bitcoin Reserve

Analysis from TD Cowen and Benchmark reaffirmed their "buy" recommendations for Strategy's stock, endorsing the firm's decision to hold a greater portion of its reserves in dollars rather than exclusively in Bitcoin. Executives characterized the dollar buffer as a necessary measure for future Bitcoin acquisitions rather than a shift away from its core strategy. During an investor call, Executive Chairman Michael Saylor stated that the firm's treasury would no longer be 100% comprised of cryptocurrency. While maintaining a "buy" stance, analysts offered differing price targets: Benchmark reduced its target from $570 to $435, basing its model on a $100,000 Bitcoin price by end-2026; TD Cowen forecast $260 per share; and Mizuho noted the firm could weather a potential downturn in Bitcoin prices. Strategy's management outlined that its central priority is returning its preferred STRC shares to a $99-100 range. Demand for these short-term, low-volatility debt instruments reportedly exceeds interest in any other company asset by 50-100 times. Institutional investment in STRC grew from $1.1 billion to $3.1 billion between March and July. The company aims to narrow the current $1.2 billion discount between the shares' market and nominal value to make them the primary tool for funding future Bitcoin purchases again. The report follows Strategy's Q2 financials, which showed a net loss exceeding $8 billion. CEO Phong Le stated the company would continue selling Bitcoin as commercially warranted.
