Bitcoin ETFs Draw $2.8B in Eight-Day Streak as BTC Tests $80K

The sustained eight-day inflow streak signals institutional conviction that is decoupling from price volatility, at least for now. That Bitcoin is testing a key psychological level while ETFs absorb supply suggests demand is broadening beyond retail speculation. The pace of August inflows, potentially the strongest since October, raises the question of whether this is a structural shift in allocation or a crowded trade that could reverse quickly if momentum stalls. The open question is whether ETF flows remain sticky if BTC fails to hold above $80K.
