Odaily News: Bitcoin News posted on X platform that U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs have recorded net inflows for 8 consecutive days, totaling $2.8 billion. August has become the strongest month for capital inflows since 2026.As Bitcoin and gold rise in tandem, investors are increasingly seeking to hedge against risks including a weakening U.S. dollar, persistent inflation, and the widening U.S. fiscal deficit. Gold funds have also seen record demand.This shift is beginning to reflect in ETF trading. IBIT and GLD have rejoined the list of the top 10 most-traded ETFs, after semiconductor funds dominated for most of the summer.BlackRock noted that another significant source of demand comes from existing Bitcoin holders moving their tokens into ETFs. The company has so far processed approximately $5 billion in deferred-tax Bitcoin transfers into ETFs, and the minimum conversion amount has recently been lowered from $25 million to $1 million."As we continue to expand access, this scale will continue to grow," said Robbie Mitchnick, Head of Digital Assets at BlackRock.Mitchnick pointed out that incidents such as kidnappings, ransomware attacks, and custody failures are driving some Bitcoin holders to shift toward ETF custody.Bitcoin and gold are once again aligning with the core of the same macroeconomic logic, as the currency debasement trade makes a comeback.
Odaily News According to data from the Korea Securities Depository, Korean retail investors are aggressively purchasing the ADR (American Depositary Receipt) of SK Hynix listed on the US Nasdaq, resulting in a significant premium for the ADR compared to the company's domestic shares.From the listing of the SK Hynix ADR on Nasdaq on July 10 to August 19, Korean investors recorded cumulative net purchases of approximately $835 million (about 1.16 trillion KRW) in SK Hynix ADR, ranking second among US stocks bought by Korean investors during the same period and accounting for 16.4% of the total net purchases of US stocks by Korean investors.This trend has led to a widening price gap between the SK Hynix ADR and its domestic shares. On August 19, SK Hynix's domestic shares closed down 9.75% at 1.5 million KRW, while the US-listed ADR rose 0.35% to close at $156.16. Since one SK Hynix ADR corresponds to 0.1 domestic share, the theoretical value of the domestic share converted from the ADR price should be approximately 10 times the ADR price. However, as of the 19th, the domestic share price was only 6.82 times the converted ADR price, indicating an approximate premium of 46.67% for the ADR over the domestic shares. (NATE)

CryptoQuant analyst Darkfost stated in a post that while Bitcoin continues to oscillate within the $60,000 to $65,000 range, the Binance Whale Inflow Ratio has risen to 0.52, hitting a new high in nearly four months. The rise in this indicator suggests that compared to retail and small-to-medium traders, whales have recently transferred more Bitcoin to Binance, implying that potential selling pressure in the market has increased.

Japan is expected to launch a Bitcoin ETF as early as 2028. With the revised Financial Instruments and Exchange Act bringing crypto assets under the regulatory scope of financial products, Japan's Financial Services Agency (FSA) plans to adjust rules related to investment trusts, allowing funds and ETFs to hold crypto assets as primary investment targets. Multiple asset management institutions have already expressed interest in participating. Japanese institutional investors' interest in crypto assets is on the rise. A survey by Nomura Holdings and Laser Digital shows that approximately 79% of institutional investors and family offices plan to invest in crypto assets within the next three years.However, unlike the US Bitcoin ETF, which is primarily driven by institutional funds, Japan's institutional investor base is relatively limited, and a high proportion of household financial assets are held in cash. Therefore, individual investor funds are likely to become the main source of inflows. Some analysts believe that Japan's Bitcoin ETF could attract up to 3 trillion yen in inflows by FY2028. (Nikkei)
