Bitcoin traded at $84,860.50 early Sunday, little changed over 24 hours, after U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs took in a provisional $82.9 million in the week through 2 October, a sharp slowdown from $2.39 billion the week before. Investing.com marked the coin at $84,860.50 as of 01:29 ET. It had climbed above $87,000 earlier in the week and then stalled in a narrow range. Farside Investors figures reported on Sunday still left Friday's BlackRock IBIT line blank, so the $82.9 million weekly total can move once that print lands. Ether rose 0.65% to $2,694.78. XRP was at $1.4917. Solana was at $120.77. BNB rose 2.51% to $786.31.
An $82.9 million week is not a $2.39 billion bid
The price is holding a range while the wrapper bid cools. Strategy's last disclosed purchase, in an 8-K filed on 28 September, added 1,665 bitcoin at an average of $85,681 and took holdings to 847,666 BTC. Sunday's print sits under that entry. The macro tape is less hostile than it was on 29 September, when a second October hike was the base case. Markets now price about a 78% chance the Federal Reserve holds on 28 October after September payrolls rose only 29,000. The 10-year yield was 5.24% on 1 October in the Fed's H.15 release. A listing approval is not new spot demand. On Friday the SEC cleared a Cboe BZX rule so six Volatility Shares products can list, targeting three times the daily move of bitcoin, ether, gold, silver, crude oil, and natural gas. Registration is still required before shares trade, and the bitcoin product would use futures, not coins in custody. If Friday's missing IBIT line is another creation, the weekly total rises, but it will not close the gap with $2.39 billion. If it is a redemption, the slowdown is larger than the provisional number. Holding $84,000 while funds barely create is a pause under $87,000, not a fresh trend. See why October hike odds fell, what the 3x listing order actually does, and last Monday's $31 million session.
