Bitcoin trades at around $84,500 late on Friday evening, 2 October 2026 (CoinMarketCap). That is almost exactly where it stood ten days ago, even though a great deal of money has moved into Bitcoin in the meantime: the US spot ETFs took in $2.65 billion in September, and October is opening with inflows too. For the Bitcoin price prediction that is the contradiction now to be resolved: why is the price not rising when the funds are buying?
What the ETF figures show
September’s net inflows of $2.65 billion are the second-highest monthly figure since October 2025; in August it was $3.52 billion, The Block reports using data from SoSoValue. A further $102.7 million arrived on 1 October, after the last day of September had brought outflows of $148.7 million. Together the funds hold Bitcoin worth around $109.3 billion (Cointelegraph).
