Overview
- CoinShares reported roughly $5.95 billion flowed into digital-asset funds last week, including $3.55 billion into Bitcoin products and about $3.2 billion into U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs.
- Bitcoin set a new peak over the weekend, clearing $125,000 and reaching $125,426 on Bitstamp and $125,899 according to CoinGecko.
- Ethereum, Solana and XRP also attracted substantial inflows, listed at $1.48 billion, $706.5 million and $219.4 million respectively in the CoinShares data.
- Analysts tie the surge to anticipated Federal Reserve easing, U.S. political uncertainty such as the budget dispute, and October’s historically strong performance often dubbed “Uptober.”
- Promotional materials for a proposed Layer‑2 project called Bitcoin Hyper are circulating with a $HYPER presale, which remains marketing claims rather than independently verified information.
