US spot bitcoin ETFs took in about $999 million on Monday, led by IBIT, ARKB and FBTC. It was their largest day since October 2025.

Bitcoin traded above $85,000 on 21 September for the first time since late January. More than $750 million in leveraged positions were liquidated, most of them short bets, as the price climbed.

Four sessions moved about $1.5 billion in opposite directions and left $6.2 million behind. Ether funds broke a four-week inflow streak.

Bitcoin closed back above $80,000 on Friday and ether cleared $2,550, with about $130 billion added to the total crypto market capitalization in a day. A short squeeze did much of the work, and the tallies for it do not agree.

One company accounted for most of it. Glassnode puts the group's average entry at $80,500, about 6% above where bitcoin traded on Friday morning.

A prototype circulating under the CryptoAxe name renders bitcoin as a paper banknote with a 1,000-satoshi face value, a printed serial number and portraits of Satoshi Nakamoto and Hal Finney. At Thursday's price that denomination came to about 77 cents.

Binance founder Changpeng Zhao told Bitcoin Asia in Hong Kong on 27 August that bitcoin will reach $1 million and that it will not take 25 years. He put payments at scale and pension money ahead of price.

Bitwise's Matt Hougan says it is reasonable to expect bitcoin to reach a quarter of gold's market by 2035, the base case behind the firm's $1.3 million price target for that year. Bitcoin sits a little over 5% of gold today.

A bill approved 28-21 would move roughly 324,527 bitcoin already in federal hands into one reserve and bar any sale for at least 20 years. It now goes to the full House.

A conference pie chart puts 13.98 million BTC, or 66.6% of the 21 million cap, in individual hands. Treasury trackers match its fund and corporate slices almost exactly. Its government figure is the one that will not settle.

The federal funds target moved a quarter point on Wednesday, its first increase since July 2023. Three accounts of the same evening give three bitcoin prices.

The administrator of Celsius's bankruptcy estate filed in New York on 12 September over March 2020 liquidations, eleven days before BitMEX stops trading.
