What happened

The supplied record says Ether rose about 18% to roughly $2,250, while Bitcoin topped $69,000. It also reports around $517 million of inflows into spot bitcoin ETFs and around $189 million into spot ether ETFs.

Together, those reported ETF inflows total roughly $706 million and were described as the biggest in months.

Why it matters

The inflows are presented as a demand-confirmation signal alongside the price move. If they persist, they would provide stronger evidence that allocation is accompanying the rally rather than the move being only a squeeze.

What to watch next

Watch whether bitcoin and ether ETF inflows continue after this reported surge. The next useful receipt is a subsequent flow reading that shows whether demand remains durable.

What to watch
