Demand through US spot Bitcoin ETFs provided a constructive backdrop for Bitcoin on October 29. Data reported by TokenPost, citing SoSoValue, showed net inflows of USD 137.33 million on October 28. It was the third consecutive session of positive flows.
BlackRock drives daily inflows
Only two of the 12 listed US spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded inflows that day. BlackRock's IBIT attracted USD 136.01 million, while Bitwise's BITB received USD 1.32 million. TokenPost reported total ETF trading volume of USD 1.26 billion and total net assets of USD 104.88 billion. IBIT held the largest net assets at USD 66.13 billion.
The latest inflow figure is a one-day fund-flow observation, not proof of a lasting change in investor positioning. TokenPost also reported that daily inflows were about 22 percent lower than in the previous session. For investors, the relevant question is whether positive flows continue across several sessions rather than whether one day's balance is positive.
Bitcoin price remains below its annual peak
Investing.com showed the Bitcoin price at USD 81,079.4 at 18:23:55 Berlin time on October 29. The page displayed a change of USD 245.4, or 0.30 percent, and a 24-hour volume of USD 30.05 billion. Its listed market capitalization was USD 1.63 trillion, with Bitcoin ranked first among the assets shown.
The live quote should be separated from the daily comparison basis: the relevant UTC reference point is October 29 at 00:00 UTC, while the cited quote is a later Berlin-time snapshot. The Investing.com page also showed a 52-week range of USD 57,832.5 to USD 111,585.8, placing the snapshot below the reported annual high. Circulating supply was listed at 20.11 million BTC against a maximum supply of 21.00 million BTC.
What investors should watch next
ETF flows are an observable channel for institutional demand, but they do not determine the Bitcoin price on their own. Continued inflows, trading volume and the distance from the annual high offer more useful context than a single session. Bitcoin remains a continuously traded and highly volatile asset, so the ETF data should be read as market context rather than as a standalone signal.
