- The U.S.-listed BTC exchange-traded funds (ETFs) hit $28.7 million in inflows on Monday, ending a long losing streak.
- BTC is trading below $56.5K, while the CoinDesk 20 (CD20) is up 2.3%.
Spot bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) listed in the U.S. posted just over $28.7 million in net inflows on Monday, ending a record outflow streak worth $1.2 billion, data shows.
The ETFs lost money since Aug. 27, and Monday was the first day of net inflows in September – a month that traders have previously warned to be bearish for the leading cryptocurrency. Outflows from ETFs signal a lack of new demand among professional investors.

The outflows have taken net inflows since inception to under the $17 billion mark, back to levels last seen in July. Meanwhile, BTC prices are down nearly 15% in the past two weeks – or 25% below March’s lifetime peak of $73,300.
However, some traders remain bullish despite such price action.
“Even with all the near-term noise and volatile price action, we remain structurally bullish,” QCP Capital traders said in a Telegram broadcast Tuesday. “And it certainly looks like the market is also taking advantage of this leg lower to pile on more longer-term bullish trades.”
"The bounce from $52,500 is encouraging. So have we seen the bottom? Although we can't be certain, some institutions seem to think so as they take this opportunity to add to their bullish bets in Dec and Mar," traders added.
The CoinDesk 20 (CD20), a measure of the largest and most liquid digital assets, is up 2.3%, trading at 1,800.
Meanwhile, BTC is trading above $56,500, slipping from $57,000, ahead of the next CPI and PPI release and the first debate between Donald Trump and Kamala Harris.
Polymarket traders are pretty certain that crypto isn't going to be mentioned during the debate, giving only an 11% chance of Harris mentioning the term (or bitcoin) and a 13% chance of Trump saying it.
Traders are also expecting the debate to run overtime, with only a 30% chance of it ending on schedule at 10:30 pm.
Elsewhere, several prominent AI tokens were well into the green during the first half of Asia's business day, with the CoinGecko category up 10%.
Liquid staking tokens are also doing well with Lido DAO's token up 6.3%. Lido rival Rocket Pool's RPL token is up over 20% as Binance Futures announced the launch of leveraged perpetual contracts. DeFi Llama data shows that despite this, RPL's total value locked hasn't meaningfully increased and is still just north of $2.9 billion.

KuCoin captured a record share of centralised exchange volume in 2025, with more than $1.25tn traded as its volumes grew faster than the wider crypto market.
What to know:
- KuCoin recorded over $1.25 trillion in total trading volume in 2025, equivalent to an average of roughly $114 billion per month, marking its strongest year on record.
- This performance translated into an all-time high share of centralised exchange volume, as KuCoin’s activity expanded faster than aggregate CEX volumes, which slowed during periods of lower market volatility.
- Spot and derivatives volumes were evenly split, each exceeding $500 billion for the year, signalling broad-based usage rather than reliance on a single product line.
- Altcoins accounted for the majority of trading activity, reinforcing KuCoin’s role as a primary liquidity venue beyond BTC and ETH at a time when majors saw more muted turnover.
- Even as overall crypto volumes softened mid-year, KuCoin maintained elevated baseline activity, indicating structurally higher user engagement rather than short-lived volume spikes.

Gold tops $5,000 as bitcoin stalls near $87,000 in widening macro-crypto split: Asia Morning Briefing
Bitcoin’s onchain data points to supply overhang and weak participation, while gold’s breakout is priced by markets as a durable macro regime shift.
What to know:
- Gold’s surge above $5,000 an ounce is increasingly seen as a durable regime shift, with investors treating the metal as a persistent hedge against geopolitical risk, central bank demand and a weaker dollar.
- Bitcoin is stuck near $87,000 in a low-conviction market, as on-chain data show older holders selling into rallies, newer buyers absorbing losses and a heavy supply overhang capping moves toward $100,000.
- Derivatives and prediction markets point to continued consolidation in bitcoin and sustained strength in gold, with thin futures volumes, subdued leverage and weak demand for higher-beta crypto assets like ether reinforcing the cautious tone.
