Bitcoin’s ETF Engine Reignites - but a Real Comeback Needs More Than One Big Week
Institutional demand for Bitcoin has returned sharply. U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs attracted roughly $2.4 billion during the week ended September 25, their strongest weekly inflow since October 2025 and enough to erase a $5.8 billion year-to-date deficit that existed in July. BlackRock, Fidelity, ARK/21Shares and Morgan Stanley all participated in the rebound. Yet Bitcoin remains around $83,000–$84,000, far below its $126,000 record, while ETF inflows slowed each day through the week. The signal is significant: Wall Street is buying Bitcoin again. Whether Bitcoin itself has fully returned remains a more difficult question.

Ripple Wins Final U.S. Trust Bank Approval as RLUSD Moves Deeper Into Federally Supervised Finance
Ripple has received final approval from the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency to establish Ripple National Trust Bank, completing a federal charter process that began with its application in July 2025 and conditional approval five months later. The new federally supervised trust bank will manage segregated reserves supporting Ripple USD, act as collateral trustee for the benefit of RLUSD holders and provide fiduciary custody services for digital assets.
