 US spot Bitcoin ETFs <a href="https://farside.co.uk/btc/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">recorded</a> a strong rebound on Monday after attracting $526.7 million in net inflows. This followed a difficult stretch of <a href="https://coinpaper.com/37123/uptober-takes-a-hit-as-bitcoin-etfs-lost-679-million-last-week" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">withdrawals</a>.
 According to the ETF flow data, BlackRock's iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) dominated the session with $665.2 million in inflows, while Fidelity's Wise Origin Bitcoin Fund (FBTC) recorded $83.6 million in outflows.

 The recovery followed net withdrawals of $82.4 million on Oct. 16 and $261.4 million on Oct. 14, which suggests that institutional appetite for Bitcoin exposure may be recovering after a volatile trading period.
 Grayscale's GBTC experienced $54.9 million in withdrawals, which means that BlackRock was the only fund to register positive flows during the session.&nbsp;Bitcoin Price Struggles Despite Strong ETF Inflows 
 Despite the impressive ETF inflows, Bitcoin's price action remained relatively subdued. BTC climbed to approximately $83,117 during Monday's session before surrendering its gains and closing near $81,924. By Tuesday, the crypto was trading around $81,564 due to continued volatility and uncertainty among traders.&amp;lt;iframe src=”https://widgets.coincodex.com/w/b293dd27-61d6-4606-a6b7-8c4e938b5f8f?site=coinpaper&amp;amp;mode=light” width=”100%” height=”420” frameborder=”0” referrerpolicy=”no-referrer-when-downgrade” style=”border:0;background:transparent;border-radius:0px;”&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/iframe&amp;gt; 
 The contrasting movements suggest that the new ETF demand has not yet translated into sustained upward momentum <a href="https://coinpaper.com/37526/bitcoin-price-prediction-can-btc-still-reach-100-000-before-2026-ends-after-its-43-quarterly-rally" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">for Bitcoin</a>.
 Nevertheless, the latest inflows offer an encouraging sign for investors after several sessions of institutional <a href="https://coinpaper.com/36983/bitcoin-etf-outflows-hit-485-million-is-a-bigger-btc-crash-coming" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">selling</a>. Whether Bitcoin can reclaim the $83,000 level and establish a more convincing recovery could depend on continued ETF demand and overall market sentiment.
 For now, BlackRock's substantial purchases helped reverse the recent ETF outflow trend, although Bitcoin's price remains under pressure.
