Bitcoin consolidates near $79,000 amid strong ETF inflows

Bitcoin Spot Bitcoin ETF BlackRock Cryptocurrency market Institutional investment

Bitcoin is experiencing a period of consolidation, trading within a range between $76,000 and $82,000. Despite recent price volatility and macro concerns, institutional demand remains a significant driver. U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs have seen a substantial recovery, with approximately $3.8 billion in net inflows recorded over a three-week period ending in early September. BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) continues to dominate the sector, attracting $3.7 billion in quarterly inflows and bringing its total assets under management to $62.6 billion.

On the corporate side, French Capital B recently increased its holdings by purchasing 376 Bitcoin for 25.3 million euros. Looking ahead, financial firm River has released a long-term forecast suggesting Bitcoin could reach between $250,000 and $840,000 within the next three to five years, driven by increased capital allocation from Wall Street. Analysts are closely monitoring upcoming U.S. economic indicators, specifically the Consumer Price Index (CPI), to determine the next major direction for the asset.
