Bitcoin Dips Despite Record Monthly Inflow to Crypto ETFs
The cryptocurrency market witnessed a notable shift as Bitcoin retreated from recent highs. This movement occurred despite a significant influx of funds into Bitcoin spot ETFs.
Data from Farside revealed that these ETFs experienced net inflows of $235.2 million yesterday. This figure marks the highest flow recorded in October, a month that started slowly for the segment.
BlackRock’s IBIT fund, the largest in its category, led the charge with an impressive $97.9 million inflow. This substantial investment underscores growing institutional interest in cryptocurrency-based financial products.
The surge in ETF inflows highlights the increasing mainstream acceptance of digital assets as viable investment options. Bitcoin, the leading cryptocurrency, reached a peak of $64,500 on Monday afternoon.
However, it subsequently slowed its upward momentum, mirroring the subdued mood in stock markets. Ethereum’s native currency, Ethereum (ETH), followed Bitcoin’s trajectory.
It fell below the $2,500 mark, fluctuating just above $2,400. As of 10:20 AM (Brasilia time) on October 8, 2024, Bitcoin had decreased by 1% over the past 24 hours.
It was trading at $62,327. Ether experienced a more significant decline of 2.2%, trading at $2,419. However, these figures come from CoinGecko, a reputable cryptocurrency data provider.
