Furthermore, the asset manager also submitted the S-1 amendment for the BlackRock Bitcoin ETF (IBIT) while talking about the risks of Quantum computing. Commenting on this, Bloomberg ETF strategist James Seyffart said:
“To be clear. These are just basic risk disclosures. They are going to highlight any potential thing that can go wrong with any product they list or underlying asset thats being invested in. It’s completely standard. And honestly makes complete sense”.
Bitcoin ETF Inflows Approach Critical Growth Level
Bitcoin ETF flows are nearing a significant milestone that could trigger substantial price growth, reported Ecoinometrics. The report highlights that rolling 30-day inflows are currently just 10,000 BTC below the 60,000 BTC threshold. Econometrics noted that this flow-to-price model consistently leads to strong price appreciation for the cryptocurrency. As said, BlackRock Bitcoin ETF has been leading most of these flows.

The chart above shows a clear correlation between Bitcoin ETF flows and Bitcoin’s price movements over the past year. The chart illustrates how Bitcoin’s price, which has fluctuated between $60,000 and $100,000, responds positively when inflows cross above the 60,000 BTC threshold.
BTC Price Eyes Fresh All-Time Highs?
BTC price continues to show strength, currently trading at $103K levels and eyeing a breakout to fresh all-time highs above $109K. This is possible anytime soon amid heavy whale accumulation.
Wallets holding between 1,000 and 10,000 BTC—commonly referred to as Bitcoin whales—are continuing their accumulation trend, according to data from Cryptoranks. Often comprising institutional investors such as hedge funds and Bitcoin mining companies, these entities play a pivotal role in shaping the next move.
