Bitcoin's Institutional Demand Seen as Resilient Despite Headwinds -- Market Talk
Dow Jones2026/09/24 13:210921 ET - Institutional demand for Bitcoin remains remarkably resilient despite some immediate pressures that have pulled it back from a recent rally, XS.com's Simon-Peter Massabni says in a note. Bitcoin is trading down after touching 8-month highs twice this week. The pullback reflects macroeconomic pressures, primarily a shift in interest rate expectations from the Federal Reserve's recent tightening, along with pessimism around the conflict in Iran, Massabni says. But net inflows for Bitcoin ETFs have surged, positioning the funds for their strongest weekly performance since October of last year, Massabni says. The heavy institutional buying establishes a firm price floor, he says. (dean.seal@wsj.com)

According to reports, since the middle of last week, Saudi Arabia has sold approximately 100 million barrels of crude oil to China, India, Japan, and South Korea, with delivery periods covering October and November. At the same time, Saudi Aramco has made a rare commitment in these transactions to handle logistics and transportation, delivering the crude oil directly to Asian customers. Previously, due to soaring oil prices, Asian refineries had been considering reducing operating rates. This large-scale supply has to some extent mitigated the supply risks faced by Asia.
