In brief
- Bitcoin ETPs saw a net inflow of 20,685 BTC last week, driven mostly by U.S. ETFs.
- The recent uptick in investor risk appetite is driven by rate cut expectations and new crypto IPOs.
- Despite institutional demand outpacing new Bitcoin supply, realized and implied volatility remain historically low.
Bitcoin exchange-traded products globally logged net inflows of 20,685 BTC last week, the strongest weekly intake since July 22, according to digital assets firm K33 Research.
The renewed momentum lifted U.S. spot bitcoin ETFs’ combined holdings to 1.32 million BTC, surpassing the previous peak set on July 30.
U.S. Bitcoin ETF products contributed nearly 97% of last week’s 20,685 BTC ETP inflows, highlighting the surge in demand ahead of the FOMC meeting.
Bitcoin ETF inflows “tend to be one of the key determinants of Bitcoin’s performance,” André Dragosch, head of research for Europe at Bitwise Investments, told Decrypt, adding that the “percentage share of Bitcoin’s performance explained by changes in ETP flows” has reached a new all-time high.
