Bitcoin ETF Inflows Rebound to $240M After October Crash
After October’s 20% crash wiped out $20 billion in leveraged positions, long-term holders and whales sold over 405,000 BTC, intensifying volatility. Yet Bitcoin ETF outflows remained modest at under $1 billion.
On Thursday, institutional investors poured $240 million into Bitcoin ETFs, ending a six-day outflow streak. This rebound in Bitcoin ETF inflows highlights growing market maturity and draws “slow money” from registered investment advisors, pensions and 401(k) plans.
A Charles Schwab survey shows nearly half of ETF investors plan to increase crypto ETF exposure. Analysts say regulated Bitcoin ETF inflows can dampen market swings and reinforce Bitcoin’s role as a store of value. Traders should watch future ETF flows as a gauge of institutional demand and market stability.
Bullish
The rebound in Bitcoin ETF inflows to $240 million after a multi-day outflow streak underscores growing institutional demand and market maturation. Institutional capital from registered advisors, pensions and 401(k)s can help absorb selling pressure from whales and long-term holders, reducing volatility and supporting price recovery. In the short term, rising ETF flows may fuel upward momentum for BTC, while in the long term, consistent institutional inflows reinforce Bitcoin’s role as a store of value, contributing to sustained stability and bullish market sentiment.
