Oct. 23 (CandyPulse) — Big money came back to Bitcoin ETFs, at least for a few days. U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs pulled in about $1.08 billion over three trading sessions from Oct. 19 to Oct. 21, ending two weeks of withdrawals. The streak then snapped with a $635.5 million outflow on Oct. 22.

Why the price didn't take off

Despite the inflows, Bitcoin didn't rally hard. One analysis notes that past steep rallies came with sustained daily inflows that these funds haven't matched consistently. Bitcoin traded around $81,500 this week, below its recent highs. Track it live on our Bitcoin price today page.

Why it matters

ETF flows are one of the clearest signals of what big investors are doing with Bitcoin. A three-day, billion-dollar run shows demand is still there. The quick reversal shows it isn't steady yet. Compare with September's $2.65 billion of inflows and the strongest week since October 2025. BlackRock is also adding products, including its proposed Bitcoin buffer ETF.

What's next

Watch whether inflows return after Thursday's outflow, and whether Bitcoin can hold above $80,000. More on our Bitcoin topic page and in JPMorgan's 10-year Bitcoin forecast.
