    Is Bitcoin Losing Its Bullish Momentum?

  • Investors poured money into U.S. spot crypto exchange-traded funds (ETFs) on Monday as bitcoin (BTC), the largest token by market capitalization, climbed to a record just shy of $90,000.

    Flows into ether (ETH) ETFs hit a record $295.5 million, with BlackRock’s ETHA and Fidelity’s FETH both gathering a net $100 million, data from Farside Investors shows.

    Bitcoin ETFs netted a whopping $1.1 billion, the second-highest amount on record according to SoSoValue data, as the token’s market cap climbed to a record $1.78 trillion, overtaking silver as the eighth-largest asset by market cap on the planet. The lion’s share, $765.5 million, was funneled into the iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) with Fidelity’s FBTC gaining $135.1 million.

    “Assets in the US spot bitcoin ETFs are now up to $84b, which is 2/3 of the way to what gold ETFs have, all the sudden there’s a decent shot they surpass gold before their first birthday (we predicted it would take 3-4yrs),” Eric Balchunas, a senior analyst at Bloomberg, said in a post on X.

    The records didn’t just stop at pure crypto investments. Shares of Microstrategy (MSTR), the publicly traded company with the largest stash of BTC, hit a record high. Crypto exchange Coinbase (COIN) topped $320 for the first time since November 2021.

    “The Bitcoin Industrial Complex (ETFs + MSTR, COIN) saw $38b in trading volume today, with lifetime records being set all over the place, including IBIT, which did $4.5b. This points to a robust week of inflows. It was just an insane day; it really deserves a name a la Volmageddon,” Balchunas said in a separate post.

    As of press time, bitcoin is trading at $88,000 and ether around $3,400.
