Bitcoin Rises Above $80K as IBIT Ends Outflow Streak
Bitcoin recovered to about $80,700 on Tuesday after briefly slipping below $80,000, as investors weighed whether fresh demand for U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs can support the token before the Federal Reserve interest-rate decision.
SoSoValue data showed the 12 U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs took in $110.34 million on Monday, with the iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) from BlackRock accounting for the entire net inflow. The move ended two straight sessions of outflows totaling $773.4 million. Cumulative October flows remained negative, at roughly $202 million in net outflows through Monday. The funds drew $526.6 million on Oct. 19 and $528.4 million on Oct. 21, then lost $635.5 million on Oct. 22, the largest single-day withdrawal since June 2025. Friday added $137.9 million in outflows. IBIT, Fidelity Wise Origin Bitcoin Fund (FBTC) and ARK 21Shares Bitcoin ETF (ARKB) were among the funds leading the recent selling.
The ETFs held about $102.84 billion in net assets, equal to around 6.4% of Bitcoin market capitalization. Monday inflows went only to IBIT, leaving open how broadly renewed demand reached across the funds. Benzinga Pro showed IBIT trading just below resistance near $45.70. That level has repeatedly capped gains; a sustained break above it could signal a bullish trend and draw more buyers. Support sits near $45.12, matching the recent intraday low. A pullback toward that level may attract buyers and reinforce bullish sentiment if support holds.
River, a Bitcoin financial services firm, said in a breakdown cited by 99Bitcoins that it put individual holdings at 79.6% of tradable Bitcoin, businesses at 9.4%, funds and ETFs at 8.5%, and governments at 2.5%. ETF flows can move prices at the margin even though ETFs hold a relatively small share of available Bitcoin. Demand that creates new ETF shares can require funds to buy additional Bitcoin; redemptions can prompt sales. Concentrated transactions can have an unusually large short-term effect when liquidity is thin. ETF flows are just one influence on Bitcoin prices, along with derivatives positioning, overall risk appetite and macroeconomic developments.
The Federal Reserve interest-rate decision on Wednesday is the next major catalyst. Investors will watch whether Bitcoin holds above $80,000, whether inflows spread beyond IBIT and whether cumulative October ETF flows turn positive. Persistent inflows into multiple funds would offer stronger evidence that demand is broadening. More outflows could show that the Monday recovery was temporary. Whether renewed ETF demand can sustain Bitcoin recovery, or leave it exposed to additional selling, remains unresolved.
