Bitcoin ETF demand returned, regulators advanced new digital asset rules, and tokenization moved closer to traditional finance and professional sports. Elsewhere, dormant Bitcoin changed hands, stablecoin flows improved, and several altcoins drew attention for very different reasons. Here are the crypto stories that shaped the week. Let’s get started.

US Bitcoin ETFs Attract $731 Million in One Day

US spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded $730.9 million in net inflows on September 3. It was their strongest single trading day since January 14 and extended a solid period for institutional Bitcoin products.

BlackRock’s IBIT led the inflows with around $454 million. The ARK 21Shares Bitcoin ETF added another $138 million, while Fidelity’s FBTC received $74 million.

The daily result followed an equally strong August. US Bitcoin funds collected a combined $3.5 billion during the month. That was their best monthly performance since September 2025.

The September 3 inflows arrived after Federal Reserve Governor Christopher Waller made comments that markets viewed as supportive of risk assets. However, the timing alone does not show that his remarks directly caused the ETF purchases.
