Overview
A burst of spot ETF inflows has re-entered the center of the market conversation, with several reports tying renewed demand to Bitcoin trading above $97,000 and renewed attention on the $100,000 level. Alongside the ETF flow headlines, Cointelegraph also points to a rebound in whale balances after a sharp sell-off, framing the move as reaccumulation occurring in the same window as the inflow streak.
