THE BITCOIN ETFS ARE BACK 💰️

BREAKING: US spot bitcoin ETFs log $3 billion in weekly inflows, a 5-month high following BTC price spike

The Bitcoin ETFs are back…

And the floodgates are wide open…

Last week, U.S.-based spot Bitcoin ETFs pulled in ~$3.06 billion in fresh inflows - their best week since November 2024, and the second-largest weekly haul ever.

Friday capped off the sixth straight day of net inflows:

• BlackRock's IBIT led with $240 million added

• Fidelity’s FBTC followed with $108 million.

• Combined, IBIT and FBTC accounted for 92% of Friday’s total inflows.

The surge pushed total Bitcoin ETF assets to nearly $110 billion — with IBIT now holding 2.97% of all Bitcoin in existence.

(Yes, that’s more than Michael Saylor’s Strategy)

BlackRock’s Head of Equity ETFs, Jay Jacobs, summed it up:

Translation?

Bitcoin is winning the safe-haven race.

So what caused this sudden surge in ETF flows?

Simple: Bitcoin’s sharp rebound.

Over the past few weeks, Bitcoin roared back from $75,000 to $95,000 - reigniting risk appetite and sending ETF demand through the roof.

Meanwhile, spot Ethereum ETFs finally showed signs of life too, breaking an 8-week outflow streak with $157 million in net inflows.

The ETF inflows are booming. 📈 

Prices are recovering. 🤑 

And the bullish winds are picking up fast…

We’re so back. 😎

BITCOIN SETTING UP FOR ALL-TIME HIGHS 🚀

The fundamentals are back. Bitcoin is setting up for another breakout.

That’s the latest update from Willy Woo.

Willy Woo is the O.G on-chain Bitcoin analyst.

He came up with many of the on-chain analytics we still use today.

After taking a break for the New Zealand summer, Willy’s back — and he just dropped a very bullish update on the state of Bitcoin’s fundamentals.

Here’s the key points:

Capital Flows Are Ramping Up

Woo points out that both total and speculative flows have now bottomed — and they’re turning up together.

When they align, it usually marks a bullish regime.
Capital is flowing back into the network.

The last time we saw this setup? Bitcoin went on a massive run.

Liquidity Is Back

Woo’s Risk Model — which measures liquidity conditions — is also starting to trend back down.

When liquidity returns, it mutes the downside. Pullbacks still happen, but they’re usually shallow and short-lived.

This is what a healthy foundation looks like for a bigger move up.

Long-Term Setup Is Solid

In Woo’s words:

Short-term dips are still possible — but under these circumstances, they’re for buying. 🧠

Bottom line:

Liquidity is back. Capital is flowing in.

And Bitcoin is setting up to make history.

Stay sharp. 👀

BITCOIN’S STRONGEST HANDS 💪

Time for a check-in on the Long/Short-Term Holder Threshold.

Here’s how this metric works:

• 🔴 Short-Term Holders (STHs): Coins held for less than 155 days

• 🔵 Long-Term Holders (LTHs): Coins held for more than 155 days

• 🟥 Short-Term Holder Cost Basis: All coins purchased in this price range are STHs

• 🟦 Long-Term Holder Cost Basis: All coins purchased in this price range are LTHs

This metric is powerful because it shows exactly what price range long and short term holders bought their Bitcoin at. 🔍

Right now, the key threshold date is November 23rd, 2024 - when Bitcoin was trading around $97,650.

• All coins purchased before this date are classified as LTHs.

• All coins purchased after this date are classified as STHs.

Today, LTHs control 13,812,013 BTC - a massive 69.56% of the circulating supply.

Meanwhile, STHs hold just 3,499,624 BTC - only 17.62% of supply.

And the gap between them?

It’s widening fast.

Over the past three months alone, 690,367 BTC has transitioned from short-term to long-term holders - a huge signal of conviction.

Historically, a rising LTH supply has been rocket fuel for major Bitcoin rallies.

Why? Simple math:

More coins locked away = less sell pressure = more upside potential. 🚀

Bitcoin’s strongest hands are stacking hard - and they’re showing no signs of flinching.

We’ll check back in two weeks to see if the trend keeps accelerating…
