Özet

Cryptocurrency investment products recorded $1.06 billion in weekly inflows for the third consecutive week, largely driven by U.S.-based funds. Bitcoin dominated with $793 million in inflows, while Ethereum saw $315 million, partly due to new U.S. staking ETF listings. Solana also contributed, though XRP experienced redemptions. Approximately 96% of the total inflows came from the U.S., with Canada, Switzerland, and Hong Kong also posting positive figures. U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded a five-day inflow streak with $767.3 million, though year-to-date net flows remain negative. Analysts suggest investors are increasingly viewing Bitcoin as a safe haven during market stress.

Crypto exchange-traded products recorded $1.06 billion in weekly inflows for the third consecutive week, as Bitcoin continued to dominate the flows, with significant contributions from Ethereum and Solana, while XRP saw meaningful redemptions, amid geopolitical concerns.

According to the CoinShares report on March 16, crypto investment products maintained strong momentum last week, where $793 million flowed into Bitcoin alone. While Ethereum brought in inflows of $315 million, it is partly driven by new US staking ETF listings. With that, the crypto investment products recorded $1.06 billion in inflows last week.

As per the report, approximately 96% of all inflows into the region came from U.S.-based funds, which provided the great majority of the capital. Canada came in second with $19.4 million, while funds in Switzerland attracted $10.4 million.

Then, Hong Kong recorded $23.1 million in inflows, its largest weekly total since August 2025, while Germany’s crypto investment products had outflows of $17.1 million. Now, the three-week total stands at $2.2 billion after last week’s inflows.

James Butterfill, head of research at CoinShares, said that last week’s inflows highlight how investors have increasingly viewed bitcoin as a relatively safe haven during periods of market stress.

U.S. Bitcoin ETFs See Five-Day Inflow Streak

As mentioned earlier, the majority of Bitcoin fund inflows came from U.S.-based spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs). They received $767.3 million in fresh capital last week, which was their first five-day inflow streak of 2026. Yes, with about $493 million in net withdrawals so far this year, the ETFs are still in negative territory.

After $1.8 billion in withdrawals in January and February were somewhat offset by $1.34 billion in inflows in March, this week will determine whether U.S.-listed spot Bitcoin ETFs can finally post a positive performance for 2026.

Within Strategy's Framework, STRC's Dividend Yield Remains at 12% as Share Price Stays Below Par Value

Michael Saylor, Executive Chairman of Strategy (MSTR), confirmed that the dividend rate for its STRC perpetual preferred shares will remain at 12.00% through August 2026. The rate has increased from 9% at its July 2025 launch to the current high via a "ratchet" mechanism, which permanently raises the rate by 0.5% whenever the share price falls below $95. This mechanism is intended to push the price back toward its $100 par value and support Strategy's "at-the-market" (ATM) program for issuing new shares to fund Bitcoin purchases. However, the mechanism has not worked as intended. STRC shares closed at $89.46 on July 31, remaining about 10-11% below par value despite the record-high dividend. Competition from rival Strive's higher-yielding SATA securities has pressured demand. The persistent discount has forced Strategy to suspend new STRC issuances via its ATM program, limiting this funding channel for Bitcoin acquisitions. STRC's struggles reflect Bitcoin's own volatility, as the preferred shares historically move in tandem. Analysts have warned the ratchet structure carries long-term, one-way risk. A law firm is investigating Strategy's ability to maintain dividend payments if Bitcoin's price stays low. Retail investors own roughly 83% of outstanding STRC shares, a group seen as prone to panic selling during downturns. In response, Strategy has established financial reserves, including a liquidity cushion covering about 26 months of dividend/interest obligations, and a $2 billion share buyback program alongside a Bitcoin monetization framework, though the company emphasized it is not obligated to sell any Bitcoin.

Analyst: Bitcoin's Price Will Drop to $60k in August, Then Rebound to $70k

Financial analyst Andrey Poroshin has provided a new forecast for Bitcoin's price dynamics in August. Poroshin, an analyst at the Bitbanker exchange, expects the cryptocurrency market to experience a downturn this month, with prices retesting the $60,000 level due to a lack of supportive macroeconomic catalysts. He noted that the recent US Federal Reserve decision to hold interest rates did not significantly impact the market, while inflation remains above the 2% target. Poroshin stated that Bitcoin is ending July under pressure from moderate volatility and a lack of new macroeconomic stimuli, leading to continued market caution. According to his base scenario, Bitcoin will drop to a range of $60,000 to $62,000 before recovering to $70,000. He pointed out that even $70,000 remains below the cost of mining in the US, which has prompted some miners to shift towards AI data center operations. Poroshin cited the winding down of BitMEX's operations as a potential catalyst for a price rebound, suggesting the exit of weaker players often coincides with market reversals and reduced short-term selling pressure. He believes Bitcoin is currently less susceptible to geopolitical shocks, such as the Iran-US conflict, and does not expect significant market changes in August related to the pending CLARITY Act. Looking ahead, Poroshin forecasts that September will bring more active price fluctuations driven by potential Fed rate decisions and possible discussions or approval of the CLARITY Act.
