BTC hits 12-week high of $79,400 as ETF inflows hit near 7% of total supply

Bitcoin touched $79,400 — its highest level in 12 weeks — before pulling back to $77,871, while Ethereum trades at $2,329. The broader market cap sits at $2.69 trillion with <a class="ticker-mention" href="/en-US/token/btc">BTC</a> dominance at 57.9%, and the Fear &amp; Greed Index reads 47, still in fear territory but stabilising.

The standout macro signal is US Bitcoin ETFs logging their longest inflow streak of the year, with funds now holding close to 7% of total BTC supply. That structural accumulation is widely credited for anchoring price above key support even as altcoin sentiment remains soft — the Altcoin Index sits at just 35/100.

On the funding side, Cluster Protocol closed a $5M round led by dao5, Ility raised $2M backed by Animoca Brands, and Robin Markets secured a $475K angel round from Fabric Ventures — a sign early-stage capital is still flowing into infrastructure despite the cautious macro mood.
