Jakarta, Pintu News – At the end of August, Bitcoin (BTC) once again showed its dominance in the cryptocurrency market by leading Bitcoin ETF (Exchange-Traded Fund) investments.
With the absorption of $440.71 million in new funds, Bitcoin managed to reverse the $1.17 billion outflow of funds from the previous week, increasing total net receipts to $54.24 billion. Total net assets are now close to $140 billion, according to data from SoSoValue.
Significant changes are visible when comparing with Bitcoin’s dominance chart. After peaking above 66% in early summer, Bitcoin’s market share of total crypto market capitalization has dropped to around 58%. This decline provides an opportunity for altcoins to thrive, but ETF fund flows show that when big investors return, Bitcoin is still the top choice.
On the other hand, the once dominating Ethereum (ETH) added only $1.08 billion during the same period. This is a stark contrast compared to the previous week, where Ethereum products absorbed $2.85 billion, while Bitcoin saw a decline. This shows that even though Ethereum had a great few weeks, it wasn’t enough to change the existing market structure.

Institutional investors seem to be using Ethereum as a satellite allocation while keeping Bitcoin as the core. This is evident from how one week of Ethereum dominance was quickly followed by a return of Bitcoin dominance. This shows a clear strategy where Bitcoin is considered the primary investment in a crypto portfolio.
This behavior reaffirms Bitcoin’s position as the most trusted and dominant crypto asset in the eyes of large investors. Despite Ethereum’s strong performance, Bitcoin remains the top choice for long-term and large investments in the crypto market.
August has been an interesting month with ETF fund flows changing on a weekly basis. Despite Bitcoin’s declining dominance, fund flows of $440 million prove that Bitcoin is still in control of the market. This shows the volatility of the market but also Bitcoin’s resilience in the face of fluctuations.
Altcoins continue to gain momentum even though Bitcoin still holds great market dominance. This shows that the crypto market continues to evolve with complex dynamics, where Bitcoin and Ethereum serve as the main players that determine the direction of the market.
Bitcoin’s return to the pinnacle of dominance reaffirms its status as the ‘King of Cryptos’. Despite facing stiff competition from Ethereum and other altcoins, Bitcoin managed to maintain its position as the top asset of choice for large investors. This shows unchanged confidence in Bitcoin in the face of high market volatility.
