Bitcoin ETF Inflows and Their Impact on Prices
According to SoSoValue data, Bitcoin ETFs received a net inflow of $985.08 million on October 3rd. The IBIT received $791.55 million, FBTC $69.58 million, ARKB $35.48 million, HODL $26.04 million, BITB $24.03 million, Grayscale BTC $20.11 million, and GBTC $18.29 million. This influx indicates that institutional demand is prominently led by IBIT. With increased trading volume boosting market share, the role of Bitcoin ETFs in enhancing liquidity has strengthened.
On the price front, Bitcoin breached the $120,000 mark as ETF inflows accelerated with the start of October, partially compensating for the weakness observed during the summer months. The momentum in the spot market pushed prices nearly to record highs, with Bitcoin reaching $123,000 on some exchanges.
