In the week ending August 21, U.S. spot Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs recorded their strongest combined inflows of 2026, totaling about $2.6 billion, with Bitcoin ETFs attracting $1.9 billion and Ethereum ETFs $697.2 million. This surge coincided with increased trading volumes and Bitcoin briefly trading above $79,000. Shortly after, Term Labs confirmed a governance exploit in its Term Finance vaults, resulting in estimated losses of $8.5 million, draining about 68% of the vault's total value locked. The incident highlights growing regulatory scrutiny on crypto vaults and lending products, with the SEC urging managers to assess their compliance with federal securities laws. Investors are watching closely for updates on the exploit's impact and regulatory developments affecting crypto asset management.
