Bitcoin Hits Fresh Record Above $126,000 As ETF Inflows Swell

Record U.S. spot‑ETF demand is pulling institutional money into a thin market.

Overview

  • Bitcoin set successive all‑time highs over the weekend near $125,700 and pushed just above $126,000 on Monday before easing.
  • U.S. spot bitcoin ETFs drew roughly $3.2 billion last week, while CoinShares tracked $3.6 billion into bitcoin products and $5.95 billion across crypto funds.
  • On‑chain data show exchange balances near six‑year lows around 2.83 million BTC, indicating tighter sell‑side liquidity.
  • Volatility spiked with hundreds of millions in liquidations, and on‑chain analysts reported roughly $838 million in whale profit‑taking over three days, keeping risks of a near‑term pullback toward the $117k–$120k support zone.
  • The total crypto market value climbed to about $4.2–$4.25 trillion, and several analysts foresee potential targets between $130,000 and $150,000 if strong flows persist.
