Bitcoin Nears 80,000 Amid Strong ETF Inflows and US Treasury Bond Buyback Plans
Bitcoin surged about 23% last week, reaching near 80,000 for the first time since mid-May, driven by US Treasury plans to increase long-term bond buybacks that lowered yields and weakened the dollar. This sparked a short squeeze and renewed investor interest, reflected in the largest weekly inflows into US-listed Bitcoin spot ETFs in 10 months, totaling $1.92 billion. Indian crypto exchanges also saw over 20% rise in spot volumes. Despite the rally, Bitcoin remains below its October peak of around 126,000, and experts caution the move is speculative with potential for profit-taking.
