Spot Bitcoin ETFs experienced a net inflow of $198 million on October 9, marking the ninth straight day of positive flows, mainly driven by BlackRock's IBIT and Bitwise's BITB in the U.S.
These inflows highlight institutional interest and could significantly impact Bitcoin's market, reinforcing demand and potentially driving price increases amid constrained supply.
Bitcoin ETF Market Update
Spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded a net inflow of $198 million on October 9, sustaining a nine-day streak of positive flows. BlackRock's IBIT ETF achieved a $426 million net inflow on October 8, reinforcing its dominance. Bitwise's BITB ETF accumulated $13.43 million in the same period. According to Matt Hougan, CIO of Bitwise Asset Management:
Flows have smashed our expectations—Q4 inflows will likely break all records as wealth managers and institutional platforms open access.
Institutional Support and Market Dynamics
Institutional backing from major players like Morgan Stanley and Wells Fargo is intensifying. Morgan Stanley's platform access significantly amplifies ETF participation. Major U.S. wealth managers now allocating capital are linked to amplified pressure in the ETF market.
The inflow trend has substantially affected Bitcoin's market impact. On-chain data suggest whale wallets accumulated 24,000 BTC, tightening supply. ETF-driven absorption signals robust market changes. Insights suggest that if Bitcoin ETF adoption tracks the early gold ETF growth, asset under management could reach $250 billion by 2026. Regulatory frameworks will continue shaping institutional engagement with cryptocurrency investments.
