US spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) attracted $242.3 million on August 27, marking their ninth consecutive day of net inflows and bringing the total to about $3.04 billion since August 17. BlackRock's iShares Bitcoin Trust led inflows with $277.6 million, offsetting outflows from competitors like Fidelity and Grayscale.
