Robert Mitchnick, head of digital assets at BlackRock, stated that the macro investment logic for Bitcoin is continuously strengthening. Even though regulatory issues have temporarily taken a backseat, fiscal concerns continue to drive demand for Bitcoin in the market.Mitchnick pointed out that the fiscal pressures in the current macro environment have become an important factor supporting Bitcoin's appeal, further reinforcing its narrative as a hedging tool. This perspective reflects institutions' ongoing focus on Bitcoin's long-term macro positioning.

According to monitoring by Onchain Lens, BlackRock-related ETF wallets have withdrawn at least 3,620 BTC from Coinbase Prime in the past 10 hours, worth approximately $282 million; at the same time, they withdrew 12,530 ETH, worth about $30.6 million, totaling approximately $312 million.

According to Cryptopolitan, Robbie Mitchnick, head of BlackRock Digital Assets, stated that the recent rise in Bitcoin is closely related to the United States' $40 trillion debt issue. The U.S. federal debt surpassed $40 trillion on August 18, doubling since 2017, with interest payments nearing $1 trillion, accounting for over 14% of total federal spending.Mitchnick noted that the levels of debt and deficit are major concerns for the market, and this concern is driving investors to view Bitcoin and gold as hedging tools. Bitcoin recorded its strongest three-day gain of 2023 last week and is currently trading below $80,000. Mitchnick also mentioned that the CLARITY Act has less impact on Bitcoin compared to other areas of cryptocurrency, as Bitcoin has already gained widespread regulatory recognition.

According to Bloomberg, over the past five trading days, gold and Bitcoin ETFs have attracted a record $7 billion in inflows, with the SPDR Gold ETF (GLD) seeing nearly $3.4 billion and the BlackRock Bitcoin ETF (IBIT) attracting $1.5 billion. Both ranked among the top ten U.S. ETF inflows for the week.Investors are simultaneously buying gold and Bitcoin as hedging tools against financial anxiety. U.S. Treasury Secretary Bessent announced an expansion of long-term Treasury bond repurchases, leading to a weaker dollar and declining yields, which has driven demand for scarce assets. Bernstein analyst Gautam Chhugani noted that rising interest rates and high sovereign debt levels benefit non-dilutable assets like Bitcoin.Bridgewater founder Ray Dalio advised investors to allocate up to 15% of their funds to gold and Bitcoin to hedge against the risks of the U.S. debt crisis. Bitcoin has surpassed $80,000 this month, while gold has exceeded $4,600 per ounce.

According to Forbes, Bitcoin rose about 20% in the past week, breaking the $80,000 mark for the first time since May. Robbie Mitchnick, head of digital assets at BlackRock, stated that the scale of its Bitcoin spot ETF IBIT will continue to grow as BlackRock is still expanding channels for investors to access and allocate Bitcoin. BlackRock has lowered the minimum size for investors to directly exchange Bitcoin for IBIT shares from $25 million to $1 million. This mechanism allows eligible investors to convert their held Bitcoin directly into ETF shares without having to sell Bitcoin on the market first, potentially avoiding capital gains tax from asset sales.Since its launch, IBIT has become the fastest-growing ETF at multiple scale nodes, currently representing investors holding over 765,000 Bitcoins, valued at approximately $6 billion. Mitchnick noted that real-world risks such as kidnapping, extortion, and custody failures are driving some Bitcoin holders to shift all or part of their self-custodied assets to ETFs. Recently, attacks on some Coldcard hardware wallets have further intensified market concerns about the security of self-custody.Data shows that the 13 Bitcoin spot ETFs in the U.S., led by IBIT, recorded the strongest single-week inflow in nearly 10 months. Talos researchers indicated that this week, Bitcoin's approximately 23% increase and rise in volatility are among the highest in history, with similar trends typically corresponding to above-average returns in the medium to short term. Unlike the breakthrough in May, which lacked ETF funding support and subsequently fell back, this round of increase has structural buying support that was not present before.
