Amid the strong inflows, the IBIT share price has also surged 23% over the last month, highlighting renewed interest among institutional players. Apart from IBIT, other ETFs like Fidelity’s FBTC and Grayscale mini Bitcoin ETF (BTC) contributed to $35 million in inflows each.

Bitcoin Long-Term Holder Cost Basis Jumps

On-chain analytics firm Glassnode reports that Bitcoin’s Long-Term Holder (LTH) realized price has risen to $45,340. It also reflects the aging of coins purchased in the $90,000-$100,000 range, now transitioning into the long-term holder category. The rising cost basis highlights the growing maturity of BTC holders for the long term.

Additionally, highlighting the strength of the current Bitcoin price rally, popular analyst Miles Deutscher stated that the BTC funding rate has not spiked this time. This shows that most of it has come through spot buying and not leverage, with giants like BlackRock Bitcoin ETF contributing to this.
