Not only US-based but also global BTC ETFs have seen their holdings hit an all-time high of 1,051,569 BTC. Hong Kong-based Bitcoin ETFs continue to rally, reaching a new record high, with total BTC holdings now at 4,941 BTC.

Similarly, Australia’s Monochrome Bitcoin ETF (IBTC) has gained significant attention, accumulating 83 BTC since its launch. This brings its total holdings close to 100 BTC.
Interestingly, this development coincides with the German government selling off all its Bitcoin holdings in the past month. It seems that inflows into ETFs have effectively absorbed the selling pressure on Bitcoin. This also indicates that institutional demand for regulated Bitcoin products remains strong despite current price volatility.
Is Bitcoin Headed for Recovery?
Bitcoin has made slight gains recently, recovering from its recent price lows and renewing market optimism. Despite the recovery, Bitcoin still has a substantial distance to cover. Its current value remains well below its $60,000 support level and is down by 20.7% from its peak of $73,780. Recent analyses have emphasized critical support levels, identifying $60,000 as pivotal for Bitcoin to regain bullish momentum. If the cryptocurrency remains below this mark and drops below $50,000, it might prompt substantial selling pressure across the industry.
