TREE NEWS reports: Bitcoin broke above $84,000, up more than 12% from its September 16 dip below $75,000, after the Federal Reserve’s 25-basis-point rate hike landed and the CLARITY Act stalled in the Senate. Spot Bitcoin ETFs drew $159 million of net inflows on September 17 and about $433 million on September 18, pushing cumulative net inflows past $55 billion, or nearly 6.3% of total net asset value. Total crypto market cap briefly reclaimed $2.9 trillion; ETH traded near $2,690 and SOL around $115.
Bitcoin tops $84K as spot ETF net inflows pass $55B
The striking detail is that Bitcoin pushed higher even as the Fed tightened and the CLARITY Act stalled — two developments that would normally weigh on risk assets. That divergence suggests ETF flows, not macro or legislative catalysts, are the marginal driver right now, which matters because flows can reverse as quickly as they arrive. Whether the inflow pace holds without a policy tailwind is the open question.
