Farside Investors: Hosts Flag Bitcoin Spot ETF Run at Eight Sessions on Fresh $232.2 Million Print
Farside data released Thursday shows U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs took in $232.2 million on Wednesday, extending the positive sequence to eight sessions and roughly $2.80 billion since August 17.
Live room focus on inflows
Christian Barker (Barkmeta / Bark) opened the State of Crypto slot on Crypto Spaces Network by turning straight to the latest Farside Investors numbers once they landed. David Chaboki (Shibo) joined the discussion moments later, and the pair walked the room through the day-by-day sequence while the Doginal Dogs pack followed along in the chat.
Farside data released Thursday, August 27, 2026 shows U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs took in $232.2 million on Wednesday, August 26. IBIT added $200.8 million, FBTC added $25.6 million, Grayscale Bitcoin Mini Trust added $46.8 million, and GBTC saw a $50.4 million outflow. The session marked the eighth straight day of net inflows and brought the cumulative total since August 17 to about $2.80 billion.
How the streak lines up
The eight positive days break down as August 17 at $297.6 million, August 18 at $189.3 million, August 19 at $517.2 million, August 20 at $606.3 million, August 21 at $307.5 million, August 24 at $337.6 million, August 25 at $314.4 million, and August 26 at $232.2 million. Barkmeta and Shibo noted that this run sits in its own window and does not overlap the prior Monday print that covered a shorter six-day stretch.
Bloomingbit carried the same daily figure and streak length in its Thursday update, while TFTC placed the August month-to-date total near $3.3 billion as broader context. The hosts kept the focus on the daily cadence rather than any single session size.
Market snapshot at the open
CoinGecko showed Bitcoin near $80,115 with a 2.95 percent gain over the prior 24 hours as the session began. The room treated the ETF print as one data point among several that arrived overnight, and the conversation stayed on the inflow sequence itself.
Room takeaway
The live discussion closed by keeping the eight-day run in view without projecting the next print. Barkmeta and Shibo returned to the same daily slot the following evening, and the pack remained in the chat for the continuation.
