Bitcoin's on-chain demand metric, CryptoQuant's "apparent demand," has turned positive for the first time since February 2026, reaching about +25,000 BTC. This shift follows six months of negative readings, with a low of -147,000 BTC in May when prices hovered around $60,000. The positive demand is driven largely by institutional investors, evidenced by over $52 billion in cumulative net inflows into US Bitcoin ETFs by mid-August 2026, including a notable single-day inflow of $297.5 million. While this positive reading suggests renewed buying pressure and could ease miner selling, sustained ETF inflows will be key to maintaining upward momentum in Bitcoin prices.
