The U.S. Census Bureau will release July advance durable-goods orders at the same time.<\/p>\n<p>Ahead of the data, CryptoSlate\u2019s Bitcoin market data put BTC near $78,508, down about 2% over 24 hours but still up roughly 22.8% over seven days. The asset therefore enters the release window with substantial recent gains, but without evidence yet of how it will respond to a fresh move in yields or the dollar.<\/p>\n<div class=\"cs-article-embed\">\n<p> <span class=\"cs-article-embed__related-reading\">Related Reading<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"cs-article-embed__title\">Bitcoin tops $80,000 as Treasury weighs $950 billion cash pile for bond buybacks<\/h3>\n<\/p>\n<p> <span class=\"cs-article-embed__arrow\" aria-hidden=\"true\"> <i class=\"fa-light fa-arrow-up-right\"\/> <\/span> <\/div>\n<p>The ETF inflow streak is measurable. Farside Investors\u2019 daily table shows seven consecutive positive U.S. spot Bitcoin ETF sessions from Aug. 17 through Aug. 25. Adding those daily totals produces $2.5697 billion in net inflows. However, fund-flow data do not identify end investors, so the aggregate cannot establish broad institutional participation on its own.<\/p>\n<p>The latest session was also highly concentrated. BlackRock\u2019s IBIT accounted for $284.4 million of the $314.3 million total on Aug. 25, or about 90.5%. That distribution makes the streak a strong aggregate net-inflow signal, but not a uniform one across funds.<\/p>\n<aside id=\"cs-inline-newsletter-1\" class=\"cs-inline-newsletter\" data-inline-newsletter=\"\" data-newsletter-placement=\"article-midpoint\" data-newsletter-pending-label=\"Joining\u2026\" data-newsletter-pending-status=\"Joining the Daily Brief\u2026\" data-newsletter-email-required-message=\"Before sending, please provide your email address.\" aria-labelledby=\"cs-inline-newsletter-1-title\" aria-describedby=\"cs-inline-newsletter-1-copy\">\n<div class=\"cs-inline-newsletter__inner\">\n<div class=\"cs-inline-newsletter__content\"> <span class=\"cs-inline-newsletter__eyebrow\"> <i class=\"fa-regular fa-envelope\" aria-hidden=\"true\"\/> The Daily Brief <\/span><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"cs-inline-newsletter-1-title\" class=\"cs-inline-newsletter__title\">The signal, before the noise.<\/h2>\n<p id=\"cs-inline-newsletter-1-copy\" class=\"cs-inline-newsletter__copy\">Start your day with the crypto stories moving markets, decoded by CryptoSlate\u2019s editors.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"cs-inline-newsletter__form-shell\">\n<p class=\"cs-inline-newsletter__form-heading\">One email.

The Cleveland Fed\u2019s Aug. 25 nowcast estimated July headline PCE inflation at 0.15% month over month and 3.65% year over year. It put core PCE at 0.25% monthly and 3.29% annually. Those figures are model estimates, not official results, but they provide a reference point for the release.<\/p>\n<p>The cross-asset starting line adds another constraint. The official Treasury curve put the 10-year yield at 4.64% on Aug. 25, while overnight quotes held near 4.65%. A delayed U.S. Dollar Index quote put DXY near 99.00 and slightly above its prior close.<\/p>\n<div class=\"cs-article-embed\">\n<p> <span class=\"cs-article-embed__related-reading\">Related Reading<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"cs-article-embed__title\">The latest $1.61 billion crypto ETF surge risks grinding to a halt against a 30-year US Treasury yield spike<\/h3>\n<\/p>\n<p> <span class=\"cs-article-embed__arrow\" aria-hidden=\"true\"> <i class=\"fa-light fa-arrow-up-right\"\/> <\/span> <\/div>\n<p>A possible absorption test is straightforward. If hotter inflation or stronger growth coincides with rising yields and a firmer dollar, Bitcoin holding near its pre-release level would be consistent with ETF demand offsetting some of the pressure. A sharp decline would instead suggest that seven positive sessions provided support, not immunity.<\/p>\n<p>Neither outcome can be claimed before the reports land. The starting markers are Bitcoin near $79,000, the 10-year yield near 4.65%, and DXY near 99 immediately before 8:30, followed by the first verified move across all three markets.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>ETF,Featured,Bitcoin,BTCBitcoin,BTC,ETF#critical #reports #arrive #minutes #Bitcoins #billion #ETF #streak #faces #real #test1787759113<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>At 8:30 a.m. ET on Aug. 26, Bitcoin\u2019s seven-session spot ETF inflow streak faces a concentrated macro test as three U.S. reports land at the same minute.
