U.S. Bitcoin spot ETFs witnessed a significant inflow of $1.19 billion on October 7th, marking the second-largest single-day influx ever recorded. This surge reflects renewed institutional interest amidst macroeconomic uncertainty and market stability. The inflows are attributed to factors such as mounting concerns related to the U.S. government shutdown and declining employment figures, which have spurred demand for Bitcoin as a safe haven asset and inflation hedge. Meanwhile, Ethereum spot ETFs also experienced strong inflows of $176.6 million on the same day, indicating growing confidence across the wider cryptocurrency market. The surge in ETF activity follows record-breaking weekly inflows earlier this month, with Bitcoin investment products attracting $3.24 billion in new capital and Ethereum ETFs adding $1.3 billion. This signifies a period of significant institutional engagement since early 2025.
