Overview
- U.S. spot bitcoin ETFs logged $326.4 million in combined outflows on Monday, yet IBIT posted inflows over the past two sessions totaling $134 million and marked 10 straight trading days of net creations, according to Farside data reported by CoinDesk.
- During those sessions, bitcoin fell from about $122,000 to $107,000, underscoring IBIT’s resilience as peers saw redemptions or flat flows.
- For the week of Oct. 6–10, IBIT led the market with a record $2.63 billion in net inflows, part of roughly $2.71 billion across all spot bitcoin ETFs, with net assets reported near $94 billion and an estimated 4.13% share of bitcoin’s market cap.
- The late‑Friday flash crash sent bitcoin from roughly $116,000 to below $110,000 within minutes and triggered more than $19 billion in liquidations, a move linked in coverage to President Trump’s threat of 100% tariffs on China.
- The selloff renewed scrutiny of ETF trading-hour limits, with Xapo Bank’s Tommy Doyle arguing institutions need 24/7 liquidity for risk management, even as IBIT’s one‑year return remained strong in the ~76%–84% range cited by analysts.
