First Mover Americas: Bitcoin Little Changed After Teasing All-Time High

Spot bitcoin ETFs recorded their third-highest inflows on Tuesday, adding more than $870 million. Total trading volumes crossed $4.75 billion — the highest since March — with BlackRock’s IBIT accounting for $3.3 billion alone. Bloomberg ETF analyst Eric Balchunas said he expects bigger inflow figures in the coming days. “$IBIT traded $3.3b today, biggest number in 6mo, which is a bit odd bc btc was up 4% (typically ETF volume spikes in a downturn/crisis),” Balchunas wrote on X. “Occasionally tho volume can spike if there a FOMO-ing frenzy. Given the surge in price past few days, my guess is this is latter, which means look for big inflows this week.”
