At the start of the week, BTC ETFs netted $28.6 million in inflows increasing the tempo the following day to $117 million with further positive results. On Sept 13, these products recorded $263.2 million inflows, the highest number since July 22. The change in fortunes for the asset leader has rippled through the industry leading to an uptick in the market cap.
Fidelity’s FBTC saw $102 million in inflows on Sept leading the pack among Bitcoin ETFs while ArkInvest also recorded positive inflows. However, BlackRock’s IBIT showed no total inflows after starting the week in the red zone. After these products turned green following two weeks of net outflows, Matt Hougan, Bitwise CIO backed these funds pointing to massive institutional adoption amid recent talks of reduced optimism.
Institutional Adoption Behind Price Recovery
This year, Bitcoin ETFs pushed the crypto industry to new highs as traditional investors poured in funds. As expected, the wider market saw gains leading several assets to hit new all-time highs off Bitcoin’s momentum. Bitcoin’s price soared above $73,000 in Q1 2024 but has faced significant corrections below the $60,000 mark.
Outflows from the previous week saw the price of the asset slump below $55,000 leaving a negative impact on the wider market. However, renewed institutional demand saw the price regain $60k before sliding below the resistance. At press time, Bitcoin price stands at $59,819 making a slight decline in the last 24 hours. Popular analyst Van de Poppe wrote on X that Bitcoin price could break out and continue above the $60k mark.
A major factor for the uphill movement in the asset is falling inflation in the United States and a projected cut in policy rates. This is expected to push inflows to risky assets with crypto as a huge beneficiary. Furthermore, MicroStrategy’s recent 18,300 BTC purchase worth approximately $1.1 billion points to heightened institutional demand for the asset.
