Bitcoin ETFs record $102M inflows – Why $85K matters for BTC now

Several Bitcoin [BTC] ETF funds began October with outflows. According to Onchain Lens, five funds recorded a combined $24 million in outflows on the 1st of October. However, strong inflows into three other funds more than made up for these losses. 

BTC ETFs’ net inflow hit $102M amid mixed sentiment

In September, Bitcoin spot ETFs experienced massive inflows. In fact, AMBCrypto reported an accumulation spree with net inflows surpassing $2.5 billion the week ending on the 25th of September. 

This trend has continued into October, with prominent funds recording inflows.

These inflows proved strong enough to turn daily flows positive. BlackRock’s IBIT saw $195 million in inflows, Grayscale’s GBTC recorded $14 million in inflows, and Morgan Stanley’s MSBT recorded $7 million in inflows. 

For that reason, the daily net inflow rose to $102 million, marking a significant reversal from -$148 million recorded in the previous session. 

With ETF inflows remaining resilient despite recent headwinds, investors appear to be aggressively seeking Bitcoin exposure through these funds.

Moreover, a look at past cycles shows that sustained ETF inflows have worked well for BTC price action. 

Exchange activity is also echoing the shift in ETF capital flow. Exchange Netflow has held positive since the 30th of September.
