In the meantime, the ETF story continues to underpin sentiment: Bitcoin and Ethereum spot ETFs combined for $1.1 billion in net inflows over the week ending August 7, their strongest showing since April, extending Bitcoin’s streak to five consecutive weeks of positive flows. The CLARITY Act’s procedural movement, a Senate motion to proceed filed August 9, is a genuine step forward from the outright shelving seen before the summer recess, though Republicans still need seven Democratic or independent votes to clear the 60-vote cloture threshold when the chamber returns September 14. Zcash remains the standout performer, up nearly 10% on the week as details of its August 25 NU7 governance vote firmed up, while XRP continues to lag amid a mix of regulatory anticipation and a disclosed Grayscale ETF sale. Why Is the Crypto Market Moving Today? Three forces are shaping today’s session: the strongest weekly ETF inflows since April providing a steady institutional bid; the CLARITY Act’s incremental procedural progress offering cautious optimism without resolving near-term uncertainty; and a relatively quiet news calendar, with no major deadline this week, leaving the market in a holding pattern ahead of Wednesday’s CPI data.
