Bitcoin Surpasses $80,000 Amid ETF Inflows and Treasury Liquidity Support
Bitcoin climbed above $80,000, reaching $81,160, driven by strong spot ETF inflows and an expanded US Treasury buyback program.
Bitcoin (BTC) broke the $80,000 barrier on Tuesday, hitting a high of $81,160.06 and posting a seven‑day gain of roughly 25.8%, according to CoinGecko data.
Spot ETF Demand Fuels the Rally
Weekly net inflows into US spot Bitcoin exchange‑traded funds (ETFs) totaled $1.92 billion, providing a fundamental demand boost. Fabian Dori, chief investment officer at Sygnum Bank, noted that the rally is being driven by “fundamental spot demand and allocator flows through ETFs rather than pure leverage.”
US Treasury Expands Liquidity‑Support Buybacks
The US Treasury announced it will at least double the maximum size of its long‑end liquidity‑support buybacks to $4 billion per operation. Analysts at Bernstein identified this policy shift as a strong trigger for Bitcoin’s price rise, citing the cryptocurrency’s historical positive response to liquidity expansion.
Political Context
President Donald Trump urged Congress to pass crypto market‑structure legislation during a White House event, adding a regulatory dimension to the market environment.
