The inflow into Spot Bitcoin $91,271 ETFs has accelerated as Bitcoin’s price surpasses $65,000 for the first time in nearly two months. This trend appears to coincide with a global interest rate reduction, leading to a resurgence of institutional interest in Bitcoin ahead of a potential fourth-quarter bull run.

Institutions Prepare for the Bitcoin Rally in Q4
In addition to Bitcoin ETFs, institutions are gearing up for a significant Bitcoin rally in Q4 amidst global interest rate reductions. Chinese investors are turning to Bitcoin due to fragile economic conditions, with QCP Capital stating:
We expect further easing from the PBoC, and they have communicated this. With the Fed joining the global interest rate cut cycle, all major central banks except the BoJ are poised to provide more liquidity to the market.
According to Arthur Hayes, this influx of liquidity could trigger a volatility supercycle. Hayes suggests that Bitcoin will gain value in this environment, asserting that BTC is the most technical way for the ruling elite to balance expenditures in the modern digital world.
Statements from institutions and analysts indicate that the growing popularity of Spot Bitcoin ETFs and institutional interest could significantly impact the Bitcoin market in the near future.
