US spot 
Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) attracted significant investments over four consecutive trading sessions ending October 29, with total inflows reaching $440.8 million according to Crypto.news. BlackRock's ETF was the primary beneficiary of these inflows before a market downturn on Friday, triggered by news of Binance's record-breaking $6.3 billion hack.
The Binance hack, described by Decrypt as the largest crypto hack on record, resulted in an estimated loss of $6.3-6.4 billion. Despite the severity of the incident, Bitcoin's price reaction was relatively moderate, with a 3% drop compared to an 11% decline in 2018 when Binance was last hacked. This suggests improved market resilience, as noted by CryptoPotato.
Security experts, as reported by Cointelegraph, suggest that 
Ethereum's recent EIP-7702 upgrade may have inadvertently helped the hackers bypass Binance's withdrawal safeguards. However, the upgrade could also have prevented the attackers from draining Binance's wallets entirely.
This incident comes amidst a broader market downturn, with the total crypto market cap falling to $2.65 trillion and Bitcoin's price dropping 5.13% in the last 24 hours. The Fear & Greed Index currently stands at 30, indicating a 'Fear' sentiment in the market.
In contrast to the market downturn, 
Pepe Coin emerged as a top gainer with a 5.57% price increase, as reported by CoinCodex. This highlights the divergence in performance among different cryptocurrencies during periods of market volatility.
Looking ahead, the market will be closely watching how Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies respond to the Binance hack and whether the ETF inflows signal sustained institutional interest. The next key levels to watch for Bitcoin are around $76,000, with further declines potentially testing support at $75,000.
