Bitcoin Sets New Record Near $126,000 as U.S. Spot ETFs Log Second-Biggest Inflow

Institutional demand through spot funds, led by BlackRock’s IBIT nearing $100 billion in assets, is tightening supply.

Overview

  • U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs took in roughly $1.18–$1.19 billion on Monday, the second-largest single-day haul since launch, with BlackRock’s IBIT drawing about $967–$970 million.
  • October’s ETF totals reached about $3.47 billion across four trading days, reinforcing the concentrated flow of capital into regulated Bitcoin products.
  • Bitcoin peaked around $126,198 on Oct. 6–7 before easing, with trading holding near $124,000 after the pullback.
  • IBIT holds roughly 783,767 BTC and is approaching the rare $100 billion AUM threshold, as total spot Bitcoin ETF inflows since launch near $60 billion, according to industry trackers.
  • Mining and crypto-treasury stocks rallied alongside the price surge, with HIVE up about 25%, Riot climbing nearly 11%, Marathon gaining around 9%, and Argo posting an outsized jump, while a ‘debasement trade’ narrative tied to a U.S. shutdown and expected Fed easing added to demand.
