The U.S. regulatory authorities have repeatedly released positive signals for the crypto market. Bitcoin (BTC.CC) ETF funds have resumed flowing back in. As the market gradually digests earlier negative factors—such as setbacks in crypto-related legislation and the Fed’s interest-rate hikes—crypto assets in the U.S. East Time zone surged collectively on Friday. Bitcoin reclaimed the $80,000 level, and crypto-related stocks also rose across the board.
Besides BTC and ETH, other major assets in the crypto market also moved higher in tandem, indicating that capital is not only concentrated in Bitcoin, but that a broader risk-on preference is being restored.
Allowing qualified platforms to trade tokenized stocks, the SEC’s stance; the CFTC, another major U.S. financial regulator, advancing a new crypto regulatory framework; and the return of Bitcoin ETF inflows—all became key factors behind the improvement in market sentiment. The market had previously feared that the CLARITY Act advancing in the Senate this Tuesday would become another wave of negative news for crypto assets. But judging by Friday’s market performance, this risk appears to have already been partially absorbed in earlier adjustments.
Bitcoin ETF inflows revive, risk appetite heats up in sync
Apart from regulatory updates, there are also signs of improvement in liquidity.
On Thursday U.S. East Time, a group of Bitcoin ETFs managed by firms such as BlackRock together recorded approximately $160 million in net inflows, ending the prior two consecutive days of outflows.
After the crypto market experienced a pullback, with Bitcoin briefly falling to multi-week lows, the return of ETF inflows combined with positive signals from regulators provided both liquidity support and sentiment support for Friday’s rebound.
Meanwhile, the macro environment also saw a temporary easing.
Earlier in the week, Brent crude oil prices had approached $110 per barrel, but on Friday they fell back to below $104. This eased the inflation and interest-rate pressures caused by the earlier rise in energy prices. The decline in oil prices reduced market worries about further rate increases, which also helped risk assets such as Bitcoin rebound.
This suggests that Friday’s rally was not driven solely by positive developments within crypto itself, but rather by the simultaneous rebound in regulatory policy, fund flows, and broader macro risk appetite.
