Bitcoin ETFs Pull In $1.07B as Irish Drug Trafficker-Linked Wallet Moves $41M

U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs attracted $1.0747 billion in net inflows over three trading sessions from October 19 through October 21. On October 20, a wallet identified by blockchain analytics firm Arkham Intelligence as linked to convicted Irish drug trafficker Clifton Collins moved 500 BTC, worth about $41 million, to a Coinbase Prime deposit address. Collins accumulated 6,000 BTC in 2011 and 2012 using drug-dealing proceeds, but after his 2017 arrest printed copies of his wallet keys were reportedly discarded by his landlord, leaving the Bitcoin believed inaccessible. Arkham says about 2,500 BTC from Collins-linked holdings have moved in 2026, leaving around 3,500 BTC, while Ireland's Criminal Assets Bureau has announced seizures of Bitcoin linked to him.
