A month-long bull run in November resulted in Bitcoin BTC$95,335 prices soaring from $68,000 to $99,000. Amid bullish sentiments, spot BTC ETFs raked in a combined $6.87 billion, with outflows of $411 million. 

According to data from Farside Investors, BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust ETF brought in $5.6 billion of investments in November, accounting for almost 87% of the total monthly inflows.

Other prominent players that attracted significant investments include Fidelity’s Wise Origin Bitcoin Fund at $962 million, Grayscale’s Bitcoin Mini Trust ETF at $211.5 million and the VanEck Bitcoin ETF at $71.2 million.

Continued inflows of funds from institutions and private investors amid high BTC prices are expected to support the ongoing bull run. Traders and analysts have predicted “insane long opportunities” for Bitcoin in the coming months as BTC enters a price discovery phase.

  • Apple Plunges Nearly 10%, Q4 Revenue Guidance Misses Expectations

    On July 31, Apple (AAPL.US) plunged nearly 10% to $300.33, marking its biggest drop since April 2025. In terms of fundamentals, Apple's third-fiscal-quarter revenue rose approximately 16% year-over-year to $109.42 billion, slightly above analyst expectations. Among the details, product revenue came in at $78.68 billion, beating the expected $77.25 billion. However, services revenue—a key driver of its valuation re-rating in recent years—totaled $30.74 billion, missing the consensus estimate of $31.36 billion. Additionally, Greater China revenue reached $18.82 billion, with year-over-year growth slowing to 22%, also below analysts' forecast of $19.58 billion.

  • Three Fed Officials Back Rate Hike, Hawkish Pressure Builds

    On July 31, three Federal Reserve policymakers said that dissenting votes in favor of a rate hike this week stemmed from stubborn inflationary pressures, highlighting rising internal pressure on Fed Chair Warsh to act. In statements released Friday morning, Hammack and Kashkari said they worry that although the current round of price increases may stem from short-term factors such as President Trump's tariff policies and the Iran war, the inflation situation already warrants Fed action. Logan also joined in, saying that even if inflation cools, if the Fed does not raise rates, inflation is unlikely to fully fall back to the Fed's 2% target; without any policy constraints, inflation could continue to run above target until an unexpected shock occurs. Kashkari said that if inflation remains persistently stubborn, he might support a series of rate hikes, not just a single increase, to prevent inflation from becoming further entrenched. He said: "A series of small policy adjustments may be preferable to waiting for developments to unfold and ultimately having to take more forceful action." Hammack said that if the Fed does not tighten policy, price increases could continue to accelerate. She said: "Inflation has been stubbornly above 2% for more than five years, and I have no confidence that it will return to our target on its own." (Jin Shi)
