ETF outflows and macro uncertainty keep Bitcoin pinned near $75.8K while corporate accumulation continues quietly
Bitcoin ended the week around $75,831.8, roughly flat over 24 hours but down from its 7-day high near $80,506.5, as US Bitcoin ETFs recorded their worst outflow week since June and erased all 2026 inflows. Regulatory pressure intensified with the US Treasury moving against MEXC, while Binance faced leadership and European market questions. Offsetting the weakness, Strive added 15,124 BTC in October and Hyperliquid Strategies applied to become a US futures broker.

ETF outflows and macro pressure test BTC's $75K floor while policy moves reshape the map
Bitcoin closed near $75,911.5, down 0.36% on the day, after a strong US jobs report revived bets on a December rate hike and tech-stock weakness spilled into crypto. Spot crypto ETFs saw over $540 million in net outflows, erasing all 2026 inflows for Bitcoin products. Meanwhile, the US Treasury cut MEXC off from the financial system while walking back a surveillance proposal, and Russia and Nigeria advanced major regulatory rollouts.
Risk assets reel as post-midterm ETF inflows fail to offset a $6.3B hack aftermath and liquidity worries.
Bitcoin sits near $76,190 (24h -5.45%) and Ether near $2,242 (24h -7.44%) as risk appetite deteriorates. Spot ETF flows turned modestly positive post-election, but IBIT outflows extended and regulatory scrutiny following the Binance hack weighs on sentiment. Dollar liquidity questions, with Goldman Sachs pushing rate-cut expectations to December, frame the macro backdrop.
BTC rebounds above $80,000 despite ETF outflows as macro rotation and post-hack repair compete for the narrative.
Bitcoin trades near $80,590.9, up 4.05% over 24 hours, recovering from a six-week low even as spot ETFs shed roughly $1.16B. Ether leads major assets at $2,422.43 (+6.4%). The Binance hack aftermath continues to weigh on DeFi and SOL flows, while tokenization and miner-AI pivots push fundamentals forward.
Binance hack aftermath dominates flows, but stabilization signs and structural demand keep the tape constructive.
BTC trades near $77,459 (+0.93%) and ETH near $2,276.7 (+1.13%) as markets digest the record Binance hack and a wave of ETF outflows. Binance reports net inflows turning positive at $2.3B while broader net outflows reached $5.3B, and proof-of-reserves work continues. Security, ETF demand and regulatory signals are the day's core threads.
