Bitcoin BTC $124 187 24h volatility: 0.3% Market cap: $2.48 T Vol. 24h: $68.46 B has recently hit resh all-time highs above $126,000, propelled by record-breaking inflows into US spot exchange-traded funds (ETFs) and renewed “Uptober” market optimism.

The world’s largest cryptocurrency briefly touched $126,198 during the late hours of Oct. 6 before light profit-taking. As of writing, Bitcoin is trading at around $124,000, with $2.47 trillion in market capitalization.

Bitcoin ETFs Log Second-Highest Daily Inflow

This surge comes as Bitcoin ETFs logged the second-highest inflow since their launch in January 2024. According to data by SoSoValue, these funds brought $1.19 billion in total inflows on October 6, with BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) leading with $967 million.

Nate Geraci, president of The ETF Store, noted that IBIT is on the brink of surpassing $100 billion in assets under management (AUM). For comparison, the world’s largest ETF, the Vanguard S&P 500 ETF, took over 2,000 days to reach the same level.

Geraci emphasized that no ETF in the more than 30-year history of the industry has ever expanded at such a pace.

This massive institutional demand follows $3.2 billion in cumulative inflows during the previous week. It was the second-largest weekly gain for Bitcoin ETFs since launch.

US Bitcoin Reserve Funding to Start Soon

Meanwhile, crypto-supportive US Senator Cynthia Lummis hinted that funding for the long-discussed US Strategic Bitcoin Reserve could begin soon.

In a recent X post, Lummis stated that although the legislative process remains “a slog,” thanks to the US president Donald Trump, the “acquisition of funds for an SBR can start anytime.”

While the exact funding method remains unclear, an official government fact sheet notes that the reserve will initially use Bitcoin already held by the US Treasury. This includes assets seized through criminal or civil enforcement actions.

Additional BTC acquisitions are expected to occur via budget-neutral channels that “impose no incremental costs on American taxpayers.”

President Donald Trump’s executive order earlier this year formally established the framework for the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve. However, details about its structure and launch timeline remain uncertain.

Here’s How Consumers May Benefit From Lower Interest Rates

The post Here’s How Consumers May Benefit From Lower Interest Rates appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Topline The Federal Reserve on Wednesday opted to ease interest rates for the first time in months, leading the way for potentially lower mortgage rates, bond yields and a likely boost to cryptocurrency over the coming weeks. Average long-term mortgage rates dropped to their lowest levels in months ahead of the central bank’s policy shift. Copyright{2018} The Associated Press. All rights reserved. Key Facts The central bank’s policymaking panel voted this week to lower interest rates, which have sat between 4.25% and 4.5% since December, to a new range of 4% and 4.25%. How Will Lower Interest Rates Impact Mortgage Rates? Mortgage rates tend to fall before and during a period of interest rate cuts: The average 30-year fixed-rate mortgage dropped to 6.35% from 6.5% last week, the lowest level since October 2024, mortgage buyer Freddie Mac reported. Borrowing costs on 15-year fixed-rate mortgages also dropped to 5.5% from 5.6% as they neared the year-ago rate of 5.27%.

Consumers who refinanced their mortgages in 2020 saved about $5.3 billion annually as rates dropped, according to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.
