๐ Binance Web3
A self-custody wallet inside the Binance app; swaps route through on-chain DEX aggregation, not an exchange account
Bind via our link and wallet swap fees drop 30%. On-chain gas and slippage are not covered by the discount.
You must already be a verified Binance user to create a Binance Wallet (official FAQ Q13); wallet referrals and exchange referrals are two separate systems. Zero-fee pairs such as stablecoin swaps generate no rebatable fee.
Capital inflows landed, price barely moved
Bitcoin spot ETF net inflows in the third quarter were widely discussed on the Square. Over the same stretch, BTCUSDT moved from 84433 USDT to 85851.5 USDT, a gain of 1.68%. The gap between the headline and the price response is the real story here. Across 200 weekly samples, 73 weeks were stronger than this one.
What happened day by day

|---|---|---|---|
| 2026-09-27 | 84403.2 USDT | 84432.9 USDT | 0.04% |
| 2026-09-28 | 84433 USDT | 83461 USDT | -1.15% |
| 2026-09-29 | 83461.1 USDT | 83624.5 USDT | 0.2% |
| 2026-09-30 | 83624.5 USDT | 83576.9 USDT | -0.06% |
| 2026-10-01 | 83576.8 USDT | 84829.6 USDT | 1.5% |
| 2026-10-02 | 84829.6 USDT | 84482.8 USDT | -0.41% |
| 2026-10-03 | 84482.7 USDT | 84710.6 USDT | 0.27% |
| 2026-10-04 | 84710.5 USDT | 85851.5 USDT | 1.35% |
Only three sessions carried real weight. September 28 fell 1.15%, the sole meaningful pullback of the week. October 1 rose 1.5%, recovering that loss. October 4 rose 1.35% to close at 85851.5 USDT, the week's high and the main source of the weekly gain.
Where this week ranks
BTCUSDT has 200 weekly samples, and 73 were stronger. Weeks such as 2023-03-13 (up 27.15%), 2026-08-17 (up 23.61%), 2024-02-26 (up 22.05%) and 2023-01-09 (up 21.95%) all outpaced this week by a wide margin. Even 2026-09-14 (up 5.65%) and 2026-09-21 (up 4.05%) were stronger. This week gained, but it does not rank near the top.
What popular posts say
Popular posts on the Square argue that the third-quarter net inflows signal improving capital conditions and mid-term support for BTC (paraphrased, not this site's view). Some note that price did not follow immediately, suggesting part of the expectation was already priced in. Inflows are a fact; price direction is separate. The figure points to no specific price target.
Three things worth noting
Gaps were minimal: the weekly open of 84433 USDT sat almost exactly on the prior close of 84432.9 USDT. Leverage matters: BTCUSDT is a crypto USDT-margined perpetual contract, and a 1.15% daily drop can force positions out. Funding fees accumulate for longs when sentiment is bullish. And the best week is always a conclusion in hindsight.
Fees
The default maker fee is 0.02% and the default taker fee is 0.05%. After a 20% rebate, the effective maker fee is 0.016% and the effective taker fee is 0.04%. When daily moves are as small as 0.2% or 0.27%, these costs matter more.
