BTC is still hovering around $86,000, but your Binance account still has 0 USDT? #BitcoinNear86000Dollars

Lesson one for beginners: Deposit your first USDT. After that, recurring buys, spot trading, and earning products will all be easier.

If you only have RMB, use【Buy Crypto (C2C)】:
1. On the Binance app home page, tap “Deposit” and select “Buy Crypto.”
2. Select USDT and enter an amount—start small the first time, with a few hundred yuan just to try it out.
3. Choose a payment method (bank card/Alipay/WeChat Pay), and pick a merchant with a high completion rate and a long verification history.
4. Follow the order details and transfer money from an account in your own name. Never write terms like “buy crypto” or “USDT” in the transfer note.
5. Once you’ve transferred the money, tap “I’ve Paid” right away. Wait for the merchant to release the crypto, and the USDT will go straight into your Funding Account.

If you already have crypto on another platform or in a wallet, use【On-chain Deposit】:
1. In the bottom-right corner of the app, tap “Assets” → “Deposit” → “Deposit Crypto.”
2. Select the coin (USDT) and the network—TRC20 is recommended for beginners because it’s fast and cheap.
3. Copy the address and go to the other platform to withdraw your crypto. Important: the networks on both sides must match exactly. If you choose the wrong network, your crypto will be lost and cannot be recovered.
4. Wait for the blockchain confirmation. It should arrive in 1–3 minutes.

Once it arrives: Transfer your USDT from your Funding Account to your Spot Account for free, and you can buy $BTC , $ETH , and $BNB .

My take: Nine times out of ten, beginners lose money not because they read the market wrong, but because they mess up the first step—choosing the wrong network and losing their crypto, getting scammed in a private transaction, or having their bank card frozen after writing “buy crypto” in the transfer note. C2C is essentially buying and selling with strangers, and the platform’s protection is your only safety net: never transfer money outside the platform, and always start with a small test transaction. Once you get this step right, everything else is easy.

Congress just killed the CLARITY Act, and the SEC turned around and approved the most highly leveraged crypto ETFs ever—a spectacle that’s half brake, half gas pedal.

On October 2, the SEC approved a rule change by Cboe BZX, clearing the way for six 3x leveraged ETFs from Volatility Shares: Bitcoin, Ethereum, gold, silver, crude oil, and natural gas. The Bitcoin ETF’s ticker is BITH, and the Ethereum ETF’s is ETHK.

Three key details:
① Until now, the leverage cap for U.S. crypto ETFs was just 2x. This approval raises it straight to 3x, tracking three times the daily gains or losses;
② They hold regulated futures, not spot assets. And their S-1 registration statement hasn’t yet become effective, so they can’t trade for now—and no listing date has been set;
③ The prospectus itself warns that these products aren’t suitable for ordinary investors, may be considered speculative, and carry the risk of losing your entire principal.

The takeaway: Balchunas summed it up in one line—leveraged ETFs are trading tools, not investment tools. Adam Back ran the numbers: if Bitcoin rises 10% and then falls 10%, spot investors lose just 1%, but a 3x fund loses 9%. That’s volatility drag caused by daily resets. Bitcoin has recently been seesawing between $85,000 and $87,000, and in a choppy market like this, a 3x product can be a slow-bleed machine.

Impact on $BTC $ETH : In the short term, the sentiment boost outweighs the substance—the products haven’t launched, so actual inflows are zero. Once they do launch, the funds will have to mechanically rebalance near the close each day (adding exposure when prices rise and cutting it when they fall). The larger the funds get, the more they could amplify volatility near the market close. Long-term holders can stick with spot ETFs; with a 3x product, holding it for a week is a very different proposition from holding it for a day.

Would you try a 3x leveraged ETF? Let’s talk in the comments! I’ll keep following developments with these products, so follow along to stay in the loop.

Still watching the charts at 3 a.m.? You just haven’t set take-profit and stop-loss orders 😴

Many people place an order and focus only on buying, without deciding in advance “how much profit is enough” or “how much loss I’m willing to take.”
So they end up staying up all night to watch their profits—and if they can’t keep it up, those profits can disappear.

Binance Spot has a take-profit/stop-loss order designed to watch the charts for you:
1. In the app, go to “Trade” → “Spot.” Tap the switch in the order panel, then select “Take Profit/Stop Loss” from the dropdown.
2. Enter three values: trigger price (the price that activates the order), limit price (the price to use once it’s activated), and amount.
3. Before placing the order, carefully read the line of white text beneath it—the system will summarize your order logic in one sentence. If it doesn’t match what you want, make changes.
4. Once confirmed, you’ll see “Order placed successfully.” Note: a successfully placed order isn’t necessarily a successfully executed one. It will remain pending until the market reaches the trigger price.

For example, if you have 0.01 $BTC and want to protect your profits without staying up all night:
Set the trigger price at your comfort level, and leave a little room for slippage with the limit price.
Once it’s set, lock your phone and get some sleep.

My take: take-profit and stop-loss orders are really about building discipline into your orders.
People get tired watching the charts, their hands shake, and they get greedy. Orders don’t.
The same goes for Futures: go to the position page, tap “TP/SL” → “Add,” then enter the trigger price and order type.
Don’t gamble a full night’s sleep and the profits you worked hard to save on the luck of a single trade.

I’ll keep sharing practical tips like this, so follow me and stay in the loop.

Just three months ago, Citi slashed its BTC price target to $82,000. Now it’s raised it back to $113,000—is Citi making these predictions with an eraser? 📝

Citi Group analyst Alex Saunders raised the 12-month BTC price target from $82,000 to $113,000. The ETH target also went up, from $2,240 to $3,028. The reasons given were market activity, the macro environment (concerns about currency debasement and new SEC regulatory developments), and ETF flows. Citi expects net inflows of $5 billion into BTC ETFs over the next 12 months.

What’s interesting is that in a report at the end of June, Citi had just cut its BTC target from $112,000 to $82,000 and lowered its ETF inflow forecast from $10 billion to zero—when BTC was still hovering around $59,000. In three months, BTC rose more than 40% in Q3, marking the first “all-green Q3” in history, and the price target was raised right back up.

Here’s a counterintuitive detail: on the day the upgraded forecast was published (September 30), U.S. spot BTC ETFs actually saw net outflows of $149 million. The bullish call and fund flows were moving in opposite directions that day.

My take:
Take bank price targets with a grain of salt, and definitely don’t use them as a basis for trading—they can change twice in three months, and you can’t keep changing your strategy to match. What’s really worth watching isn’t the $113,000 figure, but the three judgments behind it: whether ETF funds are actually flowing back in, whether institutions are increasing their allocations, and whether BTC can hold above its 200-day moving average. The price target is free; the real data is in those factors. BTC is currently grinding around $86,000, having tested and fallen back from $86,500 three times. Let’s talk about a breakout if one happens; until then, this kind of “price target news” is just seasoning for sentiment—have a taste, but don’t mistake it for a meal.

#CitiRaisesBitcoinPriceTarget

I’ll keep following these kinds of institutional forecasts, so follow me to stay in the loop. Do you trust price targets from big banks?

Three bullish catalysts in a row, and BTC says: “I’m sitting this one out.”

On October 2, the market got two pieces of “textbook bullish news” on the same day:

1⃣ The SEC approved the listing on Cboe of six 3x leveraged ETPs issued by Volatility Shares’ VS Trust. They include the first-ever 3x BTC/ETH products in the U.S. (provisionally tickered BITH and ETHK), plus four others linked to gold, silver, crude oil, and natural gas. The products track CME futures and aim to deliver 3x the daily return.

2⃣ U.S. September nonfarm payrolls came in much weaker than expected: only 29,000 jobs were added (versus expectations of 80,000–90,000), the unemployment rate rose to 4.2%, and the July/August total was revised down by 60,000. The odds of another rate hike in October plunged from 66% to just over 20%, while the 10-year U.S. Treasury yield fell back to 5.17%.

By textbook logic, rising rate-cut expectations plus the opening of the door to leveraged products should send BTC soaring. But what happened? BTC is still stuck below 86,000. Its third attempt to break 87,000 failed, and bulls and bears are still locked in a tug-of-war.

My take: the market is becoming increasingly numb to “paper positives.” Let me pour some cold water on this. First, the 3x ETPs have only been approved for listing; their registration statements aren’t effective yet, so they can’t actually be bought—and they haven’t brought in any real buying pressure. Second, leveraged ETPs are trading tools, not investments. Bloomberg analyst Balchunas has long warned that they rebalance daily, and holding them for too long can let volatility eat away most of your gains (if the underlying rises 10% and then falls 10%, a 3x product loses 9% net; in a sideways market, it’s a slow bleed).

The real signal isn’t in approval headlines—it’s in the money: watch daily net ETF flows and the FOMC’s decision on October 28. In a rate-hiking cycle, liquidity is the only real hard currency. Until actual money flows in, chasing rallies in a range-bound market usually isn’t a high-probability trade.

I’ll keep following the intersection of macro trends and regulation. Follow me to stay in the loop. Do you think BTC can get back to 100,000 before year-end?

【At 2 a.m. tonight, global markets will be waiting for the minutes】$BTC

At 2 a.m. Beijing time tonight (October 7 at 14:00 Eastern Time), the Fed will release the minutes of its September 15–16 FOMC meeting.

This was the meeting on September 16 when the Fed decided to raise rates by 25 basis points, bringing them to 3.75%–4.00%—its first rate hike since July 2023. Markets still haven’t figured out what the Fed is really thinking. The minutes will need to answer three questions:
1️⃣ Which is the bigger risk in officials’ eyes: inflation or employment?
2️⃣ Was the interest-rate level at the time restrictive enough to bring inflation down?
3⃣ Will rates be raised again on October 28 and in December?

CME FedWatch data for October 6: the probability of rates remaining unchanged in October is 75.9%, while the probability of another 25 bp hike is 24.1%; the probability of a cumulative additional 25 bp hike by December is about 67%.

My take: This is BTC’s most vulnerable 24-hour period in the rate-hiking cycle. BTC failed in its third attempt to break $87,000 and is now hovering around $86,000. The dot plot shows that 16 of the 19 officials expect another hike this year. Tonight will probably play out in one of three ways:
📍 Hawkish: The minutes mention that several officials see inflation as the primary risk and discuss further action in October → rate-hike bets rise → BTC tests support at $84,000
📍 Dovish: Officials are more concerned about employment and economic growth → expectations of a rate-hike pause firm up → BTC may challenge resistance at $87,000 again
📍 Uneventful: The minutes offer no new information → the event passes, volatility subsides, and markets continue waiting for October’s CPI
Whichever way it goes, volatility will be amplified in the minute the minutes are released. Managing risk is more important than guessing the direction.

Sideways markets are the most frustrating: chase a rally and get stuck holding the bag; buy the dip and get buried. But there’s a strategy that thrives on this kind of volatility.

Binance Spot Grid Trading—you set a price range and the number of grids, and it automatically buys low and sells high. No need to watch the charts.

Set one up in 5 steps (on the app):

1. Open the app and tap →→→
2. Choose a trading pair, such as BTC/USDT
3. Choose a parameter mode: generate parameters automatically, copy a successful strategy, or set arithmetic/geometric grids yourself
4. Enter the price range (highest/lowest price), number of grids, and investment amount
5. Review the order details, tap →, and you can watch it go to work in

My take: Grid trading works best when you can’t tell which way the market is headed but expect it to move sideways—for example, BTC has been ranging between 83,000 and 87,000 over the past few weeks. Its profits come from the number of price swings, not market direction. A big one-way rally or sell-off is actually the toughest scenario: set the range too narrow and the price can leave you behind; set it too wide and your capital is less efficiently used. If you’re new, try AI-generated parameters with a small amount for a week and see how much fees eat into your returns. Every grid trade incurs spot trading fees, so grids that are too dense are basically doing the exchange’s work for it.

⚠️ Grid trading isn’t guaranteed profit: if the price falls below the lower limit, you could be left holding a pile of coins; if it breaks above the upper limit, you could miss out. Start small—don’t go all in from the beginning.

I’ll keep sharing practical tutorials like this, so follow me to stay in the loop.

Three shares become one—sounds like a warning sign of a 50% plunge? BlackRock just did exactly that yesterday.

On October 6, BlackRock carried out a 1-for-3 reverse split of its spot Ethereum ETF (ETHA): every three shares were consolidated into one, tripling the net asset value per share. The total market value held by investors and the fund’s assets remained exactly the same, while shareholdings were automatically adjusted by brokers based on the October 5 record date.

Bloomberg senior ETF analyst Eric Balchunas spelled out the reason: ETHA is down about 40% year to date, leaving each share worth just around $14 before the split. Market makers’ spreads had become too large a share of trading volume. After the consolidation, the price per share is back above $40, and trading costs could drop from 7 basis points to about 2. Put simply: this isn’t about fleecing investors—it’s about clearing the way for big money to come in.

My take: A reverse split doesn’t change the value by a single cent, but the signal it sends is real—BlackRock believes that a leading product like ETHA is worth making more cost-efficient to trade over the long term. Grayscale pulled the same move with its Mini Trust in 2024. The real thing to watch isn’t the split, but the fund flows afterward: on Monday, spot ETH ETFs saw net outflows for the fifth consecutive day, totaling more than $200 million. Institutional wallets are telling the truth; the split just makes the on-ramp smoother.

#BlackRockEthereumETFReverseSplit

Do you usually pay attention to ETF fund flows, or do you just watch the price of the coin itself?

A publicly listed company is buying up ETH to reach “Alchemy of 5%” of the total supply.

BitMine disclosed on October 5 that it bought another 15,112 ETH over the past week, bringing its total holdings to 6,016,414 ETH, worth about $16.4 billion at current prices. Based on a total supply of 122.1 million ETH, that’s 4.9% held by a single company.

They’re now just 0.1 percentage points away from their self-set “Alchemy of 5%” goal.

A few key details:

1. Buying every week: Since launching its ETH treasury strategy on June 30, 2025, it has “bought every single week.” The company says no other publicly listed company can match this streak.
2. Most of it is “put to work”: 84% of its holdings (about 5.067 million ETH) has been staked, earning an annualized yield of about 2.63%—roughly $360 million a year based on the amount staked.
3. The balance sheet: Crypto, cash, marketable securities, and strategic investments total $17.4 billion.

What do you make of it?

The treasury-company strategy of “buying a fixed amount every week and staking a large share” essentially removes ETH from the circulating supply in a systematic way: they buy it and lock it up through staking, leaving less ETH available to trade on the market. That’s a completely different approach from retail investors chasing a rally: one accumulates according to a plan, the other jumps in on a gut feeling.

But there’s another side to consider: the more concentrated ownership becomes, the more a single entity’s actions can move the market. And stocks like BMNR have their own premium fluctuations—crypto and stocks are not the same thing. Institutions have their own reasons for accumulating crypto, so weigh your own position carefully before copying their playbook.

When I went home for National Day this year, my aunt finally couldn’t hold back and asked: “That blockchain thing of yours… isn’t it just a pyramid scheme?”

I spent ten minutes explaining decentralization, smart contracts, Bitcoin…
She nodded as if she sort of understood, then patted me on the shoulder and said:
“It’s okay. Young people make mistakes. Just don’t borrow money.”

Well, she summed it up better than I did.

Jokes aside, what my family worries about is exactly what this industry lacks most: someone to hit the brakes for you.
In a bull market, when your feed is full of people showing off their gains, the most dangerous thing isn’t volatility—it’s starting to think you can’t be wrong.
So every time I go home and get “lectured,” I come back with a clearer head: manage your position size, stay away from leverage, and keep your living expenses out of the market.

Sold 10,000 Bitcoin, then bought back 11,000—Metaplanet’s third-quarter moves look like “churning,” but behind them is really an effort to reassure creditors.

On October 5, the Japanese publicly listed treasury company disclosed its third-quarter trading details:
1. First, it sold 10,000 BTC for about $789.2 million, at an average price of roughly $78,900
2. It then bought back 11,000 BTC for about $948.7 million, at an average price of roughly $86,200
3. The net increase was 1,000 BTC. As of September 30, total holdings stood at 44,000 BTC, worth about $3.8 billion

The company’s official explanation: converting Bitcoin into cash and temporarily holding the proceeds was meant to demonstrate to rating agencies and bond investors that, if it ever needed to repay debt, the BTC on its books could be liquidated at any time. The debt itself was not actually repaid. As a side note, the sell-and-buyback round lifted the total cost basis of its holdings to about $4.33 billion, or an average of $98,500 per coin—already above the current price.

What should we make of this? The central question hanging over treasury companies for the past two years boils down to this: everyone is happy when prices rise, but if prices fall, can you actually sell—or will you get liquidated and send the market crashing? Metaplanet effectively conducted its own stress test this time. It really did sell 10,000 BTC, so it seems to have passed the liquidity test. But don’t misread this as a bullish signal—it’s a financial maneuver, not a show of conviction. $BTC

The signal worth thinking about is this: institutions are starting to treat Bitcoin as “balance-sheet firepower they can deploy,” rather than a family heirloom they can only look at but never touch. Alongside its newly announced “net interest income strategy” (allocating 10%–15% of total assets to preferred securities issued by treasury companies), the treasury model is shifting from “just hoarding coins” to “earning yield on coins.” One caveat: revenue from its covered-call leasing business was cut in half quarter over quarter, unrealized losses are out in the open, and it remains to be seen whether the interest income can cover the cost of the debt-funded Bitcoin purchases.

There’s a counterintuitive trick to Binance Alpha airdrops: the earlier you rush in, the more likely you are to get played.

The official rules spell it out clearly: the airdrop eligibility threshold drops automatically. Recent rounds (XDP started at 230 points, and CYS Round 3 at 250 points) have both been first-come, first-served. If the pool isn’t fully distributed, the threshold automatically drops by 5 points every 5 minutes. People who rush in during the first minute are basically taking one for those who wait.

Here’s the full claiming process in 4 steps:

1. Check your points: Open Alpha from the app homepage and view your points details. (It uses a rolling 15-day system: only the most recent 15 days count, and on Day 16, Day 1 is automatically cleared.)
2. Check the announcement: Note the points threshold and claim time. It’s first-come, first-served.
3. Claim: Tap “Claim” on the Alpha event page. Each claim costs 15 points.
4. Confirm: You must return to the event page and confirm your claim within 24 hours. If you miss the deadline, your claim is considered forfeited.

Here’s my take. Alpha’s system has never been about who’s fastest; it’s about “consistent activity.” So don’t farm points recklessly: choose assets with stable prices and calculate the fees. Don’t put your principal at risk for an airdrop worth a few dozen U in a single round. If a small airdrop’s pre-market price is too low and you’re short on points, just skip it. Airdrops are only a bonus—staying in the game matters more than farming extra points. Also, always follow Binance’s official announcements for the rules. Any “claiming link” sent to you in a private message is a scam.

Many Alpha assets trade on BSC, where gas is paid in $BNB . Keep a little in your wallet so you don’t have to go looking to swap for it.

On this day one year ago, Bitcoin stood at its all-time high of $126,080. Exactly one year later, it’s still hovering around $85,500—down 32% from the peak. What stings even more: U.S. spot ETFs saw net outflows of $89.9 million yesterday, ending a two-day streak of $293 million in inflows.

These figures make the ETFs’ true role crystal clear: they amplify sentiment; they’re not the market’s savior.

When money is pouring in, they chase the rally harder than anyone. But as soon as prices soften, institutions run even more decisively than retail investors—as shown by cumulative net inflows shrinking from $61.3 billion to $57.7 billion. ETFs solve the question of “Can I buy?” They’ve never solved “Do I dare hold?”

If you really want to judge tops and bottoms, it’s better to watch spot buying and on-chain accumulation signals than ETF flow fluctuations. A barometer and a steering wheel are two very different things.

US stocks are asleep, but the “US stocks” on Binance never close—today’s official offer is for newcomers.

Binance launched its “New User bStocks Convert Campaign” today. It runs from 00:00 UTC on October 6 until November 2:
Tier A: After registering, convert a cumulative total of at least 50 USDC worth of bStocks. The first 4000 users will share 100 SPCXB token vouchers.
Tier B: Set up a bStocks recurring buy for the first time, complete 4 consecutive periods, and reach a cumulative total of at least 25 USDC. The first 1000 users will share another 10 vouchers.

My take:
The rewards themselves aren’t huge, but the signal is clear—Binance is making a series of moves in tokenized stocks this week. On the same day, it also announced a dividend for holders of $MRVLB $ORCLB (snapshot on October 9; dividends will automatically be reinvested in the same bStocks asset). US stock perpetual futures, Convert, recurring buys, and dividend distributions are all connected now. They’re clearly trying to draw Web2 stock investors into crypto. As liquidity in tokenized stocks picks up, volatility and arbitrage opportunities will grow too, so it’s worth getting familiar with how things work ahead of time. But don’t force trades just to farm rewards—the voucher value is small, and fees could leave you out of pocket.

Have you tried tokenized stocks? Let’s chat in the comments.

For years, U.S. regulators wouldn’t allow perpetual contracts. Now, they’ve unexpectedly opened the door a crack.

On October 3, the CFTC’s Market Oversight Division issued a no-action letter allowing registered U.S. exchanges (such as Coinbase Derivatives) to remove expiration dates from existing “perpetual-style” broad-based securities index futures, turning them into actual perpetual contracts. The announcement was made on October 5.

A few key points:
1. This isn’t a blanket green light: It applies only to “perpetual-style” futures tied to broad-based securities indices. Exchanges must first consult traders with open positions, provide advance notice and give them a chance to exit. No other contract terms may be changed.
2. The change came after Coinbase Derivatives applied on October 1 for an exemption from the 10-business-day waiting period.
3. The exemption letter has an expiration date: October 20, 2026.

What does this mean? Perpetual contracts account for around 80% of global crypto derivatives trading volume. Until now, U.S. users have generally had to go to overseas platforms to trade them. The CFTC has now opened a narrow path within the existing framework. We won’t see a wave of U.S. perpetual exchanges appear overnight, but the direction is clear: regulators are gradually drawing this highly lucrative segment of the derivatives market back from overseas. For those trading $BTC $ETH perpetuals, the short-term impact will be limited, but in the long run, the liquidity landscape and funding rates could both be repriced by regulated capital. Also note that this letter expires on October 20, making it a temporary opening. Whether it becomes permanent and whether its scope expands are the real things to watch.

Tonight at 17:00: Binance Futures lists a new contract every 5 minutes—even McDonald’s now has 20x perpetuals

Binance Futures is launching four new USDT-margined perpetual contracts on TradFi U.S. stocks tonight, with up to 20x leverage. The listing schedule is clear:

17:00 USDEXUSDT — StablecoinX (Nasdaq: USDE)
17:05 VKTXUSDT — Viking Therapeutics (Nasdaq: VKTX)
17:10 MCDUSDT — McDonald’s (NYSE: MCD)
17:15 AKAMUSDT — Akamai (Nasdaq: AKAM)

Perpetuals have no expiry date and settle via funding rates. At 20x leverage, a move of around 5% against your position could get you liquidated. Newly listed contracts are usually most volatile in the half hour around launch, so if you’re planning to trade, think through your position size and stop-loss first.

The takeaway: Binance is bringing more of the stock exchange business under its own roof. From spot stocks and tokenized securities to stock perpetuals and physically settled options, now even McDonald’s contracts are available directly in the Binance app. The 24/7 liquidity of crypto exchanges is starting to eat into the traditional brokerage market. As the trading experience for U.S. stocks and crypto comes together in a single account, moving funds between the two is only getting easier. For $BNB , this adds another piece to the utility puzzle. Convenience aside, leverage is a magnifying glass, not a money printer. Watch the first half hour after launch before rushing in.

Watch the market every day and still lose money? You may never have tapped Binance’s “Copy Trading” button

For office workers who can’t draw chart lines and don’t want to watch the market all day: Binance Copy Trading automatically copies the trades of the lead trader you choose. When they buy, you buy; when they sell, you sell. Most lead traders focus on futures and spot markets for highly liquid assets such as $BTC and $ETH . Lead traders only receive a share of your profits, so they earn nothing if you lose. That means both sides’ interests are aligned.

Get started in four steps:

1. Find the feature: On the App homepage, tap → (there’s also an entry at the top of the Futures page). On the website, go to the homepage →. Then choose “Futures Copy Trading” or “Spot Copy Trading.”
2. Choose a lead trader: Set the time period to 90 days to assess long-term consistency, and don’t be swayed by short-term gains. The default ranking is by Sharpe ratio; a score above 2 indicates decent risk-adjusted returns. Also check the maximum drawdown, number of copy traders, and assets under management. Open their profile and review their historical positions. In particular, avoid traders whose returns look great but whose copy traders have lost money overall.
3. Set your parameters: Choose proportional copying (placing trades in proportion to the lead trader’s) or fixed-amount copying (using a fixed amount for each trade). Enter your total copy-trading amount (if your balance is insufficient, transfer funds first). It’s recommended to set an overall stop-loss of 20%–30% as a safety net for extreme market conditions. Review the profit-sharing ratio and agreement, then confirm.
4. After copying starts: Check your positions and transaction history in real time on the Copy Trading page. You can add or reduce funds, change settings, or stop copying at any time with one tap.

A reality check: Copy trading solves the problem of “not knowing how to place trades,” not “not losing money.” Review the lead trader’s performance over the past three months yourself; traders who make huge short-term gains often have large drawdowns too. The Sharpe ratio and maximum drawdown are ten times more important than the return figure. Always set an overall stop-loss—it’s the only risk control you truly have when copy trading. Start with a small amount, and don’t put your entire portfolio in one person’s hands.

I’ll keep sharing practical tutorials like this, so follow me to stay in the loop. Would you hand over the power to place trades to a stranger and let them be copied?

Institutional funds poured in $2.39 billion, yet BTC fell 2.3% over the week.

From September 21–25, U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs saw weekly net inflows of $2.386 billion, setting a new record for 2026. Nearly $1 billion came in on September 21 alone, with IBIT accounting for $381 million. Total inflows for the third quarter reached about $6.34 billion, wiping out all of the year’s previous net outflows—which had topped $5 billion at one point—and turning year-to-date flows positive for the first time.

Yet during that same week, BTC briefly fell to around $82,900 and ended the week down 2.3%.

These conflicting figures point to one thing: ETF money is now providing a “floor,” not pushing prices to a “ceiling.” Inflows were strongest while prices were in the $82,000–$85,000 range, but buyers stopped stepping in as BTC approached and moved above $85,500. Institutions are building positions on dips, not chasing prices higher—the distinction is clear.

One more detail to keep in mind: not all inflows reflect genuine bullish sentiment. CoinShares’ head of research previously noted that some of the money is tied to basis trades—buying spot ETFs while shorting futures to profit from the spread, rather than to express a directional view. So ETF inflow figures should be taken with a grain of salt; to gauge the real directional signal, you also need to see whether price and trading volume confirm it.

There was another striking change in the third quarter: IBIT captured about 80% of total quarterly inflows, while GBTC continued to see outflows of around $757 million. Money is becoming increasingly concentrated in the product with the lowest fees and best liquidity. The so-called “ETF boom” is essentially an IBIT boom.

October got off to a good start, with $102.7 million flowing back in on October 1. But the real tests are twofold: can BTC break through the dense cost-basis zone above $87,300, and what will the FOMC’s October 28 rate decision bring?

I’ll keep tracking these fund flows. Follow me to stay in the loop. Do you think ETF money right now is “exit liquidity” or “smart money”?
