Bitcoin spot exchange-traded funds (ETFs) recorded weekly net inflows of $924.48 million, indicating sustained institutional demand. This momentum was observed even after a notable pullback in the market on Friday, reflecting heightened sensitivity to shifts in monetary policy. Ethereum ETF funds maintained consistent daily inflows, marking uninterrupted interest from investors since August 11.

Despite the setback, Bitcoin ETF funds accumulated nearly $3 billion over the last two weeks. Data from SoSoValue shows total net inflows rising from under $52.8 billion on August 14 to $54.63 billion by August 28.

Market sentiment and analyst outlook

Bitcoin spot ETFs logged another strong week, boosted by a broader crypto market rebound amid growing speculation about potential changes in US monetary policy. Net inflows into Bitcoin ETFs over the previous week totaled approximately $2 billion, marking the fastest pace since the crypto market correction in October 2025.

Crypto Patel, a market analyst known for his insights on Bitcoin, noted that BTC faced renewed downward pressure after being rejected at the $81,000 to $83,000 supply zone. In a recent analysis, Crypto Patel highlighted Bitcoin’s failure to establish support above this resistance range, leading to a bearish daily close as the digital asset retreated from a rally which saw prices reach as high as $81,238.

Bitcoin faced significant resistance at the $81,000–$83,000 high-timeframe level and produced a bearish daily close after failing to secure acceptance above that zone, keeping downside risks in play.

Investors continue to monitor technical factors and await new signals from the Federal Reserve as well as upcoming US economic data. Many are watching closely to determine if Friday’s outflow will prove temporary or if it signals the onset of a wider market consolidation phase.

1. Crypto outperformed traditional equity indexes following the rate hike, but elevated interest rates remain a key constraint on cross-asset allocation. From September 12 to 18, BTC, ETH, and SOL gained 4.83%, 3.84%, and 9.96%, respectively, while the S&P 500 edged down 0.08%. The U.S. Dollar Index rose 1.11%, and the 10-year U.S. Treasury yield closed at approximately 4.998%. Improving risk appetite is therefore coexisting with elevated discount rates, raising the bar for RWA allocation: investors need to compare not only returns on the underlying assets, but also on-chain liquidity and collateral efficiency. 2. Growth in tokenized equities is occurring even as the overall RWA market remains under pressure. As of September 18, Distributed Asset Value across RWAs stood at $38.503 billion, down 1.13% week over week, while tokenized equities reached $3.056 billion, up 6.03%. This week's data are better explained by capital reallocating across different RWA segments than by a broad-based expansion of the entire RWA market. 3. For exchanges, the opportunity lies in connecting spot holdings, collateral, and derivatives. Reality's distributed asset value stands at approximately $155 million, while eligible rTokens can already be used within Bitget's UTA margin framework. Across CoinGlass's verifiable sample of 177 TradFi instruments, open interest reached approximately $11.498 billion, up 2.06% week over week, even as weekly trading volume declined 7.60%. The medium-term opportunity remains intact, but deeper utilization will depend on liquidity, collateral use, and sustained trading activity. 4.Assets to watch: BTC, ETH, SOL, NEAR, ZEC, gold, tokenized U.S. equities, COST. 5.Key metrics to watch: rToken collateral utilization, the durability of TradFi open interest and trading volume, and next week's employment and consumer data.
