Bitcoin News: ETF Inflows Hit 9-Day Streak, BTC Drops

 Bitcoin News: ETF Inflows Hit 9-Day Streak, BTC Falls

In the latest Bitcoin News, spot ETFs pulled in $242.3 million in ETF Inflows Today for August 27, marking their ninth consecutive day of positive flows. 

According to a post shared by The Block on X, the gains came even as Federal Reserve Chair Kevin Warsh delivered a hawkish keynote at Jackson Hole that pulled BTC lower over the following session. 

Spot Ethereum ETF Inflows reached $234.5 million on the same day, the strongest single-day total for the category since October 2025.

BlackRock's IBIT Bitcoin ETF was the standout performer of the session, absorbing more capital than the entire market combined:

• IBIT (BlackRock): $277.6 million inflow

• ARKB (Ark/21Shares): $29.7 million inflow

• BITB (Bitwise): $21.7 million inflow

• Grayscale Bitcoin Mini Trust: $11.7 million inflow

Why Did Bitcoin Fall After Kevin Warsh's Jackson Hole Speech?

The Kevin Warsh Jackson Hole reaction turned negative once the Fed Chair struck a hawkish tone, stating inflation trends had not meaningfully improved despite a resilient labor market. 

BTC slipped roughly 3% following the address, with the broader Crypto News landscape reporting that altcoins and major digital assets shed value alongside it.

Separately, an account named Crypto Rover claimed on X that a trader opened a $47 million BTC short position just ahead of the speech. 

This has not been verified through any on-chain or named institutional source and should be treated as community speculation, not confirmed fact. 

US Strategic Bitcoin Reserve: What Is The Fort Knox Bill?

A related headline resurfaced this week around the US Strategic Reserve.

Pete Rizzo also covered this post on X, pointing to Fox News coverage of Congressman Nick Begich's proposal to have the federal government hold 5% of total BTC supply, or roughly 1 million coins, calling it a "new Fort Knox." 

It is important to note this Fort Knox Reserve Bill, formally called the American Reserve Modernization Act, remains a proposal and has not been signed into law. 

A Fox Business report confirms Begich's plan would match the same percentage the US currently holds in gold reserves.

Expert Opinion

Market analysts suggest the combination of strong ETF Inflows and macro uncertainty from the Fed could keep volatility elevated in the near term. 

The Fort Knox Reserve Bill, if it advances through Congress, may add a longer-term structural demand narrative, though analysts caution this outcome remains uncertain and speculative at this stage.
