  • Bitcoin fell below US$80,000 after stronger-than-expected US jobs data increased expectations for tighter Federal Reserve policy.<\/span><\/li>\n
  • The resilient labour market pushed Treasury yields higher, putting further pressure on riskier assets such as Bitcoin.<\/span><\/li>\n
  • Markets are now watching US inflation data for clues about the Fed\u2019s next move.<\/span><\/li>\n
  • Despite the price weakness, US spot Bitcoin ETFs attracted a combined US$1 billion over the final three trading days of the week.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

    Bitcoin has dipped once again below the US$80K (AU$110.8K) mark and is currently trading at US$79,019 (AU$109,506). That\u2019s a drop of 1.75% over the past 24 hours, in line with other major cryptocurrencies, which have also fallen over the past day.<\/p>\n

    Markets slipped lower after a stronger-than-expected US jobs report reshaped expectations for Federal Reserve policy.<\/p>\n

    US employers added 162,000 jobs in August, far above forecasts ranging from roughly 55,000 to 65,000, while unemployment held at 4.1%. The surprisingly resilient labour market reduced expectations that the Fed would ease monetary policy and instead pushed investors to price in a greater chance of a 25-basis-point rate hike at the September meeting.<\/p>\n

    That shift put pressure on Bitcoin because higher interest rates generally make cash and government bonds more attractive relative to riskier, non-yielding assets such as cryptocurrencies. Treasury yields rose after the jobs report, adding further pressure on BTC. Markets are now focused on upcoming US inflation data.<\/p>\n

    A softer CPI reading could revive expectations for easier monetary policy, while another hot inflation print could strengthen the case for the Fed to keep rates higher for longer.<\/p>\n

    Bitcoin ETFs with $1 Billion Inflows<\/h2>\n

    Meanwhile, the US spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) finished the last trading week on a strong note. After almost US$500 million (AU$693 million) in outflows over two separate trading days (28 August and 1 September), the last three days have seen a combined US$1 billion (AU$1.38 billion) flow into the funds.<\/p>\n

    The largest ETF, BlackRock\u2019s IBIT, attracted the strongest inflows, with US$686.8 million (AU$951.86 million) over the three trading days.<\/p>\n

    IBIT currently holds 785,635.3 Bitcoin, or 3.741% of the 21 million Bitcoin that will ever exist, worth US$61.96 billion (AU$85.88 billion).<\/p>\n

    That makes it by far the largest Bitcoin ETF. In comparison, runner-up Fidelity\u2019s FBTC holds 175,795.3 coins, or 0.837% of all BTC, valued at US$13.86 billion (AU$19.21 billion).<\/p>\n

    Combined, Bitcoin ETFs worldwide are the largest holders, with a 6.982% share, or 1.466 million coins valued at US$115.63 billion (AU$160.28 billion).<\/p>\n
