Investors who drove Bitcoin's Wall Street adoption are returning, offering a crucial test of the cryptocurrency's latest rally. Approximately $3.5 billion flowed into US-listed Bitcoin ETFs during August, marking the largest monthly inflow in over a year. This surge occurs despite the token struggling to maintain a price level near $80,000. The renewed institutional interest suggests a potential shift in market sentiment, though the sustainability of the current price rally remains uncertain amid ongoing volatility.
