Bitcoin-focused exchange-traded funds (ETFs) recorded a weekly outflow of $463 million, while Ether ETFs experienced a contrasting inflow of $197 million, according to CoinTelegraph. The decline in Bitcoin ETF assets was primarily driven by withdrawals from funds such as ARKB, GBTC, and IBIT.
On the other hand, Ether ETFs benefited from increased investor interest, with BlackRock’s ETHA fund notably contributing to the weekly inflows. This shift highlights a growing appetite for Ether-related investment products despite the broader caution around Bitcoin ETFs.
For Japanese investors, these trends come amid heightened scrutiny of crypto assets and evolving regulatory frameworks, making ETF flows an important indicator of institutional sentiment in the region.
