Insider Newsletter - Bitcoin’s Triple Top Forms Amid Record ETF Inflows and Fed Policy Shift | 10-10-2025

Welcome to this week’s edition of our Insights Newsletter! 

A summary of this week's highlights: U.S. Bitcoin ETFs recorded their second-largest inflow in history as BTC surged to a new all-time high, signaling renewed investor enthusiasm. However, technical analysis revealed a potential triple top pattern, hinting at possible near-term resistance. 

On the macro front, Fed minutes suggested a dovish shift, supporting risk assets, while crypto fund flows remained positive despite a brief market pause.

Breaking News

U.S. Bitcoin ETFs Record Second-Largest Inflow in History as BTC Hits New All-Time High!

The 11 U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs just posted $1.18 billion in net inflows on Monday, marking their second-biggest day ever, only behind Nov. 7, 2024, when Trump’s election victory ignited a $1.37B surge.

The timing couldn’t be more explosive — as Bitcoin smashed past $126,000, ETF demand roared back, pushing October inflows to $3.47B in just four trading days and total cumulative inflows near $60B since launch and a market cap over $150B.

Institutional appetite is clearly driving this bull market, while retail investors remain largely on the sidelines — for now.

Macro-Economic Update

Fed Minutes Reveal Dovish Shift

Official Fed Minutes (PDF)

The Federal Reserve has just released the official minutes from its September meeting, and they’re shocking.

Nearly half of FOMC members now expect two more rate cuts by the end of 2025, signaling a clear dovish turn inside the Fed.

Markets are already reacting to the new tone. Could this ignite the next risk-on rally across stocks and crypto?

Wallet Inflows & Outflows Weekly Report

Positive Momentum in Crypto Fund Flows Despite Market Pause

This week saw a broadly positive trend for crypto investment products, with both Bitcoin and Ethereum recording net positive inflows. Despite a temporary slowdown in market momentum, investor sentiment remains resilient.

Bitcoin continued to attract fresh capital even after reaching new highs earlier in the week. Following this rally, BTC experienced a mild pullback, returning to its average trading levels, yet maintaining a solid foundation of investor interest.

Meanwhile, Ethereum also posted positive net inflows, signaling continued confidence among institutional and retail investors alike. However, the asset’s price action remains largely range-bound, as ETH struggles to break out of its sideways consolidation phase.

Economic Pressures and Political Gridlock Weigh on Digital Assets

Markets were steered by macro uncertainty and geopolitical dynamics rather than fresh inflows. Bitcoin pushed past $125,000 early in the week, driven in part by safe-haven demand amid the ongoing U.S. government shutdown and a weakening dollar. 

Meanwhile, broader market sentiment showed signs of emulating gold’s rally, as analysts pointed to a “FOMO meets greed” narrative across assets. 

On the regulatory front, U.S. Senate crypto legislation faced renewed gridlock, with bipartisan talks stalling and the AFL-CIO publicly opposing the draft bill. 

In Europe, the EU’s financial authorities signaled an expansion of oversight over exchanges and crypto firms, aiming to centralize supervision under ESMA. 

Additionally, the largest fintech conference in India notably sidelined crypto topics entirely, illustrating continued global regulatory ambivalence toward digital assets.

Key Macroeconomic Insights

Global Growth Stabilizes Amid Policy Uncertainty and Inflation Risks

Global macroeconomic sentiment was shaped this week by a mix of fiscal uncertainty, central bank caution, and signs of resilience in major economies. 

The U.S. government shutdown disrupted key data releases, clouding visibility on inflation and employment trends while investors weighed the impact on near-term monetary policy. In Europe, the ECB held rates steady but reiterated a cautious stance, balancing slowing growth with persistent price pressures. The eurozone Sentix index improved to –5.4 in October, hinting at gradually recovering confidence among investors.

Meanwhile, oil prices hovered near $82 per barrel amid renewed supply concerns, feeding inflationary risks and dampening risk appetite in global equities.

In Asia, China’s service-sector data showed modest expansion, supported by policy easing and infrastructure stimulus, though property-sector weakness continued to weigh on sentiment.

Overall, macro indicators suggested a fragile equilibrium—growth stabilizing, but inflation risks and policy uncertainty keep markets on alert.
