US Bitcoin ETFs record first back-to-back $1B inflows
On Friday, the 11 spot Bitcoin ETF products recorded total inflows of $1.03 billion, following $1.17 billion in inflows the day before, according to Farside data. $2.72 billion flowed into Bitcoin ETFs across the ATH week
NovaDius Wealth Management president Nate Geraci said in an X post that since the January 2024 launch, there have been only seven inflow days exceeding $1 billion, two of which occurred in the past two days. Before that, the last was on Jan. 17, with $1.07 billion.
The $1.17 billion inflow on Thursday was their second-largest daily inflow since inception, behind only the $1.37 billion recorded on Nov. 7, 2024, when Donald Trump won the US presidential election.
Bitwise Invest chief investment officer Matt Hougan said in a Friday post that while the Bitcoin network produced about 450 Bitcoins on Thursday, spot Bitcoin ETFs bought around 10,000.
Similarly, Jan3 pointed out that on Wednesday, Bitcoin ETF demand was '22x greater' than the daily mined supply.
Jan3 CEO Samson Mow said, 'This demand is not sustainable at these price levels.'
It was a strong trading week for spot Bitcoin ETFs, with $2.72 billion in inflows over five days, as Bitcoin's spot price hit fresh all-time highs of $112,000 on Wednesday and continued climbing to reach $118,780 on Friday, according to CoinMarketCap data. BlackRock's Bitcoin ETF becomes fastest ETF to cross $80 billion in AUM
The price surge led to BlackRock's spot Bitcoin ETF (IBIT) crossing $80 billion in assets under management (AUM) on Thursday. ETF analyst Eric Balchunas said in a post on Friday that it was the 'fastest ETF' to ever do that in 374 days.
It was recently reported that BlackRock now earns more revenue from its IBIT fund than its flagship S&P 500 fund, iShares Core S&P 500 ETF, on an annual basis.
Balchunas added, 'Total assets for all the spot Bitcoin ETFs crossed $140b for the first time as well.' However, he said that the price surge did 'most of the heavy lifting here.'

Mexico slams Trump threat of 30% tariffs as 'unfair deal'
Mexico slammed US President Donald Trump's latest threat of 30 per cent tariffs Saturday as an "unfair deal," according to a government statement. Mexico was informed of the new duties — which Trump said would come into effect by August 1 — during talks in the United States on Friday. "We mentioned at the table that it was an unfair deal and that we did not agree," the Mexican economy and foreign ministries said in a joint statement. Mexico is already in negotiations seeking an alternative to tariffs that would protect businesses and jobs on both sides of the border, the ministries added, saying they hope to avoid the duties. Mexico is one of the countries most vulnerable to the Republican leader's tariffs, with 80 per cent of its exports destined for the United States, its largest trading partner. Since returning to the White House in January, Trump has reproached Mexico for not doing what he says is enough to prevent illegal migration and drug trafficking across the border, and has wielded tariffs as retaliation.

Trump intensifies trade war with 30% tariff on EU, Mexico from August 1
President Donald Trump on Saturday said major US trading partners Mexico and the European Union would face a 30 per cent tariff starting next month, ramping up pressure for deals in his trade wars. Both sets of duties would take effect August 1, Trump said in separate letters posted to his Truth Social platform, citing Mexico's role in illicit drugs flowing into the United States and a trade imbalance with the EU respectively. The duties are higher than the 25 per cent levy Trump imposed on Mexican goods earlier this year, although products entering the United States under the US-Mexico-Canada Agreement are exempted. Canada earlier received a similar letter setting out 35 per cent tariffs on its goods. The EU tariff is also markedly steeper than the 20 per cent levy Trump unveiled in April, as negotiations with the bloc continue. The EU, alongside dozens of other economies, had been set to see its US tariff level increase from a baseline of 10 per cent on Wednesday, but Trump pushed back the deadline to August 1 just days before the elevated rates were due to take effect. Since the start of the week, Trump has sent out letters to more than 20 countries with updated tariffs for each.

Altcoins are rocketing, Bitcoin dominance hasn't ‘even sneezed': Analyst
A crypto analyst suggests altcoins may have plenty more upside, as many are already surging without pulling much market share from Bitcoin. 'BTC dominance hasn't even sneezed and Alts are ripping,' crypto analyst Matthew Hyland said in an X post on Friday. Bitcoin reaches new highs on three consecutive days TradingView shows Bitcoin Dominance is 64.46% at the time of publication, down just 1.53% over the past week, while altcoins saw significant price spikes amid Bitcoin reaching new all-time highs on Wednesday, Thursday, and reaching $118,760 on Friday. Hyland said, 'What do you think happens if it drops from 65 to 45.' Analysts have traditionally used Bitcoin Dominance to gauge the timing of altcoin season, with a decline typically seen as a signal that altcoins are gaining market share. However, while BTC Dominance stayed relatively steady, the recent altcoin surge could signal that fresh capital is flowing into the wider market. MemeCore (M) leads the top 100 crypto gainers over the past seven days with a 1,263% surge, followed by Mog Coin up 75.01%, and Stellar up 67.43%, according to CoinMarketCap data. Ether, the second largest crypto by market cap, is up 17.68% over the past seven days, which is often another indicator traders use to determine when the focus is turning from Bitcoin to the broader market. Trader says this will be the 'final easy' Altcoin season The ETH/BTC ratio, which measures Ether's relative strength against Bitcoin, is up 8.39% over the past seven days. However, CoinMarketCap's Altcoin Season Index suggests the market is still heavily favoring Bitcoin, with the Index reading a 'Bitcoin Season' score of 29 out of 100. In an X post on Friday, MN Trading Capital founder Michael van de Poppe said, 'I assume that we're about to witness the final easy and biggest bull ever on Altcoins.' Meanwhile, Santiment recently said that their metrics indicate that the altcoin season has begun. 'The data confirms that, for now, it has,' Santiment said. 'As long as Bitcoin can maintain its position above the crucial psychological support level of around $110k, traders will likely feel comfortable redistributing profits into altcoins,' they added.
