Bitcoin experienced a turbulent weekend, characterized by significant macroeconomic influences. On Friday, the threat of tariffs against China caused turmoil in risk assets, pushing Bitcoin below $110,000 and resulting in approximately $7 billion worth of crypto positions being liquidated as leverage was reduced.
By Sunday evening and into Monday morning, the situation calmed down after Trump shared a reassuring message regarding China. This stabilization led to steadier US markets and a rebound in Chinese ADRs. Consequently, Bitcoin also saw an upward movement on Monday morning as it recovered some of its losses.
The key question emerging from this weekend’s volatility is whether the US spot ETF market—particularly BlackRock’s IBIT—acted as a stabilizing force that prevented Bitcoin prices from plummeting further.
A good starting point for analysis is examining creation and redemption activities. Early last week witnessed substantial inflows into US spot Bitcoin ETFs; notably on October 6th alone there were net inflows amounting to around $1.21 billion—the largest single-day figure seen in months.
This surge occurred before any tariff-related news broke out; indicating that funds were already positioned towards wrapped BTC exposure even prior to these developments. Despite potential overstatements by aggregators capturing mainstream attention—it was clear: significant capital had entered these financial products just days ahead of macroeconomic disruptions occurring over this past weekend.
Following such events came what could be described metaphorically speaking—as “the flush.” If ETFs were inherently fragile one might expect massive same-day redemptions taking place last Friday—but surprisingly enough—that did not happen! According Farside’s daily table showing aggregated flow data across all major U.S.-based bitcoin-focused exchange-traded funds (ETFs), only minimal outflows totaling roughly about four-and-a-half million dollars ($4M) took place instead during said period ending October tenth respectively…
Beneath surface-level observations however lies something noteworthy: while most peers experienced leaks within their respective portfolios throughout aforementioned timeframe—it turns out IBIT managed pulling seventy-four-point-two-million-dollars ($74M) inwardly amidst otherwise adverse conditions prevailing generally elsewhere concurrently too… Thus illustrating how despite stressful
