Bitcoin Hits New Highs
- Bitcoin reached an all-time high of $126,198 on October 6, before settling around $124,000.
- The rise is attributed to record inflows into US spot exchange-traded funds (ETFs) and market optimism.
Significant ETF Inflows
- Bitcoin ETFs recorded the second-highest daily inflow since launch, with $1.19 billion on October 6.
- BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) led with $967 million in inflows, nearing $100 billion in assets under management.
- This rapid growth outpaces the historical expansion rate of any ETF over the past 30 years.
US Strategic Bitcoin Reserve
- Senator Cynthia Lummis indicated impending funding for the US Strategic Bitcoin Reserve.
- The reserve aims to utilize Bitcoin held by the US Treasury, including assets from enforcement actions.
- Additional acquisitions will occur through budget-neutral strategies without extra taxpayer costs.
- The framework was established by President Donald Trump's executive order earlier this year, but details remain unclear.
