Bitcoin whales raised holdings to 3.03 million BTC while US spot ETFs lost $744.3 million over six sessions. The whale reading is a 30-day growth rate, so Wednesday's CPI print will test a comparison across unequal windows.

Bitcoin falls to its $83,000 average ETF cost basis on the worst fund outflows since June
US spot bitcoin ETFs shed $484.9 million on Wednesday, their worst day since June 25, as bitcoin fell to the roughly $83,000 average ETF cost basis. Inflows have historically been slow at breakeven, Bitfinex says, so October's strong seasonal record is a weak guide to positioning.

JPMorgan analysts count about $50 billion of crypto inflows so far this year, an annualized pace of roughly $66 billion. Third-quarter buying moved away from corporate treasuries toward ETF holders and futures traders who can exit in a day, at about half of last year's pace.

US spot Bitcoin ETFs have taken in about $3.1 billion over nine trading days, lifting their year-to-date net inflows to roughly $1 billion. Ether and Zcash funds slipped into small outflows after week-long inflow runs, in sums too small to show money leaving altcoins for Bitcoin.

US spot Bitcoin ETFs drew $2.4 billion in the week to September 25, lifting 2026 net flows to about $934 million from a $5.8 billion deficit in mid-July. That week supplied roughly a third of a $6.7 billion climb, so the recovery is two months old.
