$2.4B Bitcoin ETF Week, Why Is BTC Still at $84K? | Sept. 28, 2026

Bitcoin ETF demand is surging — so why is Bitcoin still struggling to hold the mid-$80Ks?

Today on Bitcoin Today, we dig into the disconnect between strong spot Bitcoin ETF demand and the price action we're seeing in the market. With roughly $2.4 billion in weekly net inflows — the strongest week of 2026 and the biggest since October 2025 — we look at why that demand hasn't translated into stronger price action. We also talk about the rejection around $87K, the fade into the mid-$80Ks, and how Treasury yields and broader risk headlines continue to influence Bitcoin.

We also got into Strive and MSTR's continued Bitcoin buying, the banking and reserves debate, and the bigger questions around money, deficits, bonds, and liquidity. Loren hosted the conversation with Darkside of the Moon and Fred, while Mars joined from the conference hang and Tiffany took us around the horn.

It’s a market-focused Space covering Bitcoin, ETF flows, Bitcoin demand, Treasury yields, liquidity, bonds, and the bigger question: if regulated demand for Bitcoin is growing, why isn't the price responding?
