Bitcoin ETFs rebound with second-highest weekly inflows since launch as BTC approaches all-time high
Quick Take U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs scored their second-highest weekly inflows last trading week, as BTC nears its all-time high price of about $124,000. The funds took in $3.24 billion last week, and spot Ethereum ETFs saw $1.3 billion in inflows, another relatively high mark. The inflows follow net outflows last week, with a $4.14 billion swing week-over-week.
U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs rebounded last week in a big way, scoring their second-highest inflow week since the funds began trading in January 2024.
The ETFs logged $3.24 billion in inflows last week, the second-highest week for inflows after the week ending Nov. 22, 2024, which saw $3.38 billion in inflows, according to SoSoValue data .
$1.8 billion worth of last week's net inflows went to BlackRock's industry-leading IBIT ETF, which holds assets worth $96.2 billion, according to the data. Fidelity's FBTC, the second-largest fund by net asset value, took in $692.0 million, around 38% as much as BlackRock's fund.
IBIT also took in the lion's share of ETF volume last week, The Block's data shows. IBIT traded several billion dollars worth of shares each day last week, whereas FBTC topped out at $715 million.
The rebound in inflows comes as BTC retests its all-time high around $124,000, achieved in August , though October is historically a strong month for the price of the world's largest cryptocurrency. The U.S. partial government shutdown may also be contributing to BTC's rally.

BlackRock's industry-leading ETHA ETF made up around two-thirds of the total volume last week, according to The Block's data. ETHA scored $691.7 million in inflows last week, according to the data.
Ether is trading below its all-time high of around $4,950, with its price currently at $4,450, according to The Block's Ethereum Price page .

It takes an average of 4.8 years from finalizing investment to starting construction of a data center project, and an additional 2.6 years from construction start to becoming operational. Servers usually cannot be installed until after the building structure and racks are completed.

Federal Reserve Major Debate: When Should the Tenure of “Number Three” Williams End?
The main point of contention is whether Williams should step down in June 2028, upon completing a full 10-year term, or in June 2027, when he reaches the mandatory retirement age of 65. Analysts point out that the Federal Reserve Board holds ultimate discretion; if he leaves early, Fed Chair Waller would be able to assert greater control over the appointment to this critical position. However, forcing Williams to shorten his term could easily be interpreted as political manipulation. Williams himself is expected to serve until June 2028.
