US Spot Bitcoin (BTC) ETFs Log $110 Million Net Inflows on Monday

Monday Reverses Two-Day ETF Exit

US-listed spot exchange-traded funds that hold Bitcoin (BTC) recorded $110 million in net inflows on Monday, their first positive session after $774 million left the products across the previous two trading days, Thursday and Friday. The Monday print offsets only about 14% of that exit; taken together, the three sessions still shed a net $664 million. The $774 million was spread over two consecutive negative sessions rather than one redemption spike, which is why the monthly tally below reads the way it does. Daily totals for these funds are built from the issuers' own creation and redemption disclosures, aggregated by trackers such as SoSoValue, and a positive number means more shares were created than redeemed that day. Because the funds hold the coin directly and price against its net asset value, a net creation is a direct record of money entering the market rather than a survey estimate. That directness is what makes the daily series the most-watched institutional gauge for the asset: nothing sits between the issuer's disclosure and the print. Sustained redemptions add selling pressure to the underlying market; a positive session lifts that weight for a day. Monday's figure is modest against the products' heavier sessions earlier in the year, but it changes the direction after consecutive days dominated by redemptions. Readers who want the mechanics behind how spot Bitcoin ETFs work can follow the same daily disclosures themselves. The inflow day landed on a soft tape: the Bitcoin (BTC) price traded at $79,595 when the session figures were compiled at 07:35 UTC on Monday, has since held that area at $79,674, and sits down 1.1% over 24 hours. It was 2.6% lower across seven days at that compilation time, seven-day chart data shows. Whether the week adds more creations will show in the sessions printed after this article's data cutoff.

October Still Nets $202 Million Out

The recovery barely moved the month's ledger. Through Monday, October's net total across the US spot Bitcoin funds stood at roughly $202 million in outflows, so the products would need several sessions of Monday's size to erase the deficit before the month closes. Monday's $110 million offsets well under half of a single one of the two prior negative sessions. Sentiment traveled the same path: the Crypto Fear & Greed Index fell to 48 from 50 the previous day, still inside the neutral band. The gauge now sits in the middle of its range, a reading that describes hesitation on both sides rather than conviction in either direction. On-chain distribution data suggests who was selling into last week's bounce. Figures from CryptoQuant show retail-sized Bitcoin (BTC) deposits to Binance nearly doubled to $10.8 billion over the trailing 30 days, while deposits from large holders fell to $3.8 billion over the same window. Analyst Darkfost, writing on the platform, read the split as smaller holders using the recent price rebound as a chance to sell, in effect treating the bounce as exit liquidity. The overlap is the point: retail coins moving onto an exchange while the funds shed value is the same trade seen from two different records. Our own tape review published Monday, part of our running Bitcoin coverage, found the same pattern from the other side: spot selling deepened, with a cumulative volume delta at minus $80.5 million. Corporate accumulation has gone quiet in parallel, a shift that removes one steady source of bid-side demand from the tape. Strategy's latest cycle closed with no new purchase, a Strategy buy pause our desk tied to the asset slipping out of its $80,000–$87,000 range earlier this month. That pause, alongside the fund outflows, leaves the ETF complex as the largest marginal buyer whose behavior can still turn on a single session.

Support Stacks Below $80,000

Beneath the current print, our composite support map holds two marks worth naming. The strongest shelf in the book sits at $78,087.54, scored 98 out of 100 from the indicators that meet there; the first overhead barrier is $80,676, scored 70. Both sit against a downtrend our momentum readings still flag, though the structure stops short of what a confirmed bear market requires. Derivatives do not contradict Monday's flows: perpetual funding sits at 0.0050%, effectively neutral, and the long/short account ratio of 2.53 shows accounts leaning long even as spot sellers dominated the tape. The full set of support and resistance levels updates live on our technical analysis page. What one $110 million session cannot establish is whether October's redemption cycle is finished; the monthly figure, near $202 million in the red, is the number that decides that.
