Weekly Inflows Dip, But Bitcoin Bulls Are Not Backing Down | ETF News
Despite slower ETF inflows last week, bullish sentiment in the Bitcoin market remains intact. A surge in futures open interest and a call-heavy options market point to potential price gains.
Last week, US-listed spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) recorded net inflows exceeding $600 million.
While this marked a continuation of positive capital movement into digital asset products, it also had the lowest weekly inflow figure in the past month, signaling investor caution or profit-taking at higher levels.
ETF Inflows Slow as Price Consolidation Cools Investor Appetite
Between May 12 and May 16, inflows into spot BTC ETFs totaled $603.74 million. Although this was a net positive in terms of inflow into these funds, last week’s figure was the lowest weekly inflow in the past month. This highlights a more cautious but sustained capital movement into the market.

The slowdown in ETF inflows can be linked to BTC price consolidation during the five-day period under review. Throughout that period, BTC traded sideways, facing resistance at around $104,971 while finding consistent support at $102,711.
This lack of clear movement likely led some investors to be more cautious, resulting in reduced capital inflows into BTC ETFs last week.
BTC Eyes Fresh Highs
Still, bullish momentum persists in the BTC market. The king coin briefly surged to a three-month high of $107,108 during Monday’s early Asian trading session. While it has since corrected to trade at $104,956, the bullish bias toward the coin remains significant.
BTC’s price uptick comes alongside a rise in its futures open interest. This stands at $70.03 billion at press time, climbing 7% over the past day.

Open interest refers to the total number of outstanding derivative contracts, such as futures or options, that have not been settled. When open interest rises alongside price, it typically signals that new money is entering the market. This supports the strength of BTC’s ongoing trend and could trigger a sustained price uptick in the near term.
Moreover, options market data further supports this optimistic outlook. Today, the demand for call options has outpaced puts, pointing to a growing demand for bullish positioning.

Nevertheless, with derivatives activity surging and BTC reclaiming higher price levels, the coin could reach new highs in the short term.

SpaceX to Acquire Low-Band Spectrum Portfolio From Grain Management in Mobile Connectivity Push
06:50 AM EDT, 10/09/2026 (MT Newswires) -- SpaceX (SPCX) shares rose early Friday after the rocket and satellite company agreed to acquire a nationwide low-band spectrum portfolio from investment firm Grain Management as it seeks to establish Starlink Mobile as a major US mobile carrier. SpaceX will buy Grain Management's entire portfolio of up to 14 megahertz of paired spectrum in the 800 MHz band, the companies said in separate statements late Thursday. The deal is subject to the Federal Communications Commission's approval and other customary closing conditions. SpaceX's stock gained 3.7% in the most recent premarket activity. The companies did not disclose the financial terms, and neither immediately responded to MT Newswires' request for comment on the reported transaction value. SpaceX will pay about $8 billion in cash for the assets, The Wall Street Journal reported Thursday, citing people familiar with the matter. Grain Management, which specializes in digital infrastructure, acquired the 800 MHz spectrum portfolio from T-Mobile US (TMUS) in August in exchange for $2.9 billion in cash and all of Grain's 600 MHz spectrum licenses. "This prime low-band spectrum addresses one of the key remaining technical gaps that will pave the way for Starlink Mobile to become a major mobile carrier in the US," SpaceX said in its statement. Following regulatory approval, SpaceX intends to combine its satellite-to-mobile constellation in space with a terrestrial deployment that will enable Starlink Mobile's signals and services to reach customers from both the ground and space, according to the companies. SpaceX said most existing mobile devices already support the band. "Our spectrum expertise allows us to connect the strategic value of these assets with the technologies and operators that can realize their potential," Grain Management Chief Executive David Grain said in a separate statement. "This agreement with SpaceX brings that capability to bear at extraordinary scale." Shares of Verizon Communications (VZ), AT&T (T)
