$2.39 Billion In One Weekly: Institutional Investors Bet On Bitcoin Again?

According to SoSoValue data, US spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded $134.47 million in net inflows on Sept. 25, bringing the week's total to approximately $2.39 billion.

ETF demand remained positive throughout the week. Monday saw the largest inflow at roughly $999 million, followed by $714.7 million on Tuesday, $346.9 million on Wednesday, $190.7 million on Thursday and $134.5 million on Friday.

The seven-day sequence of positive flows came as Bitcoin moved through a volatile week. BTC briefly climbed above $87,000 before retreating, with the cryptocurrency trading near $84,000 on Friday.

BlackRock leads daily Bitcoin ETF inflows

BlackRock's IBIT recorded the largest net inflow among Bitcoin ETFs on Sept. 25, attracting approximately $96.99 million. Its cumulative historical net inflow has now reached about $65.28 billion, according to SoSoValue.

Fidelity's FBTC followed with approximately $49.32 million in daily inflows, taking its cumulative historical net inflow to around $11.06 billion.

Not every fund recorded positive flows. Bitwise's BITB experienced the largest outflow for the session, with approximately $11.85 million leaving the fund. Despite the latest withdrawal, BITB's cumulative historical net inflow remains around $2.13 billion.

The continued inflows are notable because they have persisted even as Bitcoin has pulled back from its weekly peak. 

However, ETF data alone does not establish how much of the price movement has been driven directly by ETF demand, as Bitcoin's market price also responds to derivatives activity, broader liquidity conditions, macroeconomic developments and other sources of buying and selling.

The latest figures nevertheless indicate that demand through US-listed spot products has remained positive during the recent price consolidation.

Bitcoin moves back above mining cost

Bitcoin's move during the week also brought attention to mining economics. JPMorgan analysts have identified approximately $85,000 as a reference point for Bitcoin's average production cost, making the recent move above that level significant for miners.

BTC briefly crossed $85,000 during the latest rally before falling back below it. Bitcoin had reportedly spent around 280 days trading below the estimated production-cost level before the latest move higher.

Trading above estimated production costs can provide miners with improved operating economics, particularly for operators with relatively efficient infrastructure. However, a temporary price move above that threshold does not immediately alter the underlying economics of the mining industry.

Mining profitability also depends on factors including network difficulty, electricity costs, hardware efficiency, financing expenses and Bitcoin's subsequent price performance.

The broader market backdrop remains equally important. Bitcoin's recovery has coincided with sustained ETF inflows, but the cryptocurrency continues to trade below its recent high. 

The combination of persistent institutional flows and price consolidation leaves the market focused on whether demand through spot ETFs can remain positive if volatility increases again.

For now, the weekly ETF figures show a clear continuation of net buying, with nearly $2.4 billion flowing into US spot Bitcoin ETFs over five sessions. 

The data provide evidence of sustained demand for regulated Bitcoin investment products, while the price action shows that strong ETF inflows have not prevented short-term pullbacks.

US Treasury yield curve approaches inversion! Is the bond market questioning the outlook for the US economy?

The U.S. Treasury yield curve is rapidly approaching the inversion threshold—the spread between the 10-year and 2-year yields has narrowed to historic lows, and bank stocks have responded with a technical correction. This warning signal, regarded as a "hard rule" for recession, is tearing apart market consensus: some are betting the curve will soon invert, while others firmly believe economic resilience will mitigate the risk. Amid ongoing Federal Reserve rate hikes, the outcome of this bond market game may reshape the narrative logic of the entire asset market.

From ICU to KTV! The Polarized "AI Narrative" Leaves Investors "Exhausted"

In just two weeks, the Nasdaq 100 experienced an extreme rollercoaster: first losing $600 billion in market value due to “AI threat” concerns, then rebounding to reclaim $3 trillion thanks to the viral Meta assistant. Analysts believe that market sentiment is swinging violently between fear and greed, detached from fundamentals. The turmoil has driven Nvidia’s valuation to a ten-year low, intensified the bull-bear divide, and the high volatility driven by narratives has become a long-term norm for investors.
