U.S. spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds pulled in $853.54 million in net inflows last week, the highest weekly total since mid-April, according to data from SoSoValue reported by CoinDesk. BlackRock’s IBIT dominated the flow, securing $693 million of that total, signaling a potential revival in institutional appetite.

Even multi-million-dollar security incidents and rising bond yields failed to rattle spot prices, suggesting underlying demand resilience.
