    Spot Bitcoin ETFs Capture $2.39B in Inflows, Highest Weekly Volume Since Oct 2025

    Direct answer

The resurgence in institutional demand was led by flagship products from BlackRock and Fidelity. Despite the massive institutional allocation, Bitcoin spot prices have remained relatively anchored near $84,000. Market participants are monitoring whether secondary market liquidity will absorb ongoing distribution from long-term holders or initiate a breakout toward previous highs. — bullish pressure on BLK.
