US spot bitcoin ETFs draw $1.08 billion over three trading sessions

US spot bitcoin ETFs took in $1.08 billion over three trading sessions, CoinDesk reported, citing SoSoValue data, pushing October flows back above water, according to Cointelegraph. CoinDesk noted the pace still lags the roughly $235 million daily average seen across three past steep rallies.

Evidence strength Multiple publishers

2 independent publishers report it (copies of the same text count once); they may still rely on one underlying source. An official source would raise it.

Claims and open questions

What sources claim

  • CoinDesk, citing SoSoValue data, reported the US-listed funds pulled in over $1 billion this week, and said steep past rallies were characterized by average daily net inflows of over $200 million.
  • CoinDesk reported that across 199 trading days spanning three steep rallies, the funds took in $46.7 billion, an average of about $235 million a day.
  • Cointelegraph reported that US spot bitcoin ETFs drew $1.08 billion over three trading sessions, pushing October flows back above water.

Still unresolved

  • What daily net inflow pace the funds sustain over the coming sessions, and whether it reaches the $200 million-plus level CoinDesk says accompanied past steep rallies.
  • Whether the reported inflow figures are confirmed by SoSoValue or another flows tracker directly, which would pin down the exact three-day total.
