CoinDesk reported that U.S. spot bitcoin ETFs attracted roughly $527 million in net inflows, their biggest in a month, with BlackRock's IBIT taking in $665 million for its largest inflows in over a year. CoinDesk said Fidelity and Grayscale funds saw withdrawals, while ether ETFs lost $103.3 million. Analysts at QCP Capital, cited by CoinDesk, warned that further equity weakness could damp demand and threaten the $80,000 support level.

Claims and open questions
What sources claim
- CoinDesk reported that U.S. spot bitcoin ETFs drew roughly $527 million in net inflows, the most in a month.
- CoinDesk reported that BlackRock's IBIT recorded $665 million in inflows, its largest in over a year, while Fidelity and Grayscale bitcoin funds saw withdrawals.
- QCP Capital analysts, cited by CoinDesk, wrote that sustained equity deleveraging could transmit to crypto markets and threaten the $80,000 support level.
Still unresolved
- The $527 million and $665 million figures come from CoinDesk's account of Monday's flows; issuer or exchange data would confirm the final net figures.
- CoinDesk attributes the $80,000 support-level warning to QCP Capital; the full QCP note would show the reasoning and any conditions attached.
- Whether the concentration in a single issuer persisted after Monday would require subsequent daily flow data from the ETF issuers.
