What happened
US spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded roughly $201.8 million in net outflows on Friday, ending a nine-day run of inflows. The supplied record says the move pushed fund assets back below $100 billion.
At the same time, US spot Ether ETFs took in $226 million in a day. The session was described as their strongest in about 10 months.
Why it matters
The flow split is notable because Bitcoin outflows and Ether inflows point in different directions after a period characterized in the record as synchronized inflows. It may indicate rotation, but a single day does not establish a durable shift.
What to watch
The next useful receipt is whether Bitcoin ETF outflows continue while Ether ETF inflows remain positive. Persistent divergence would provide stronger evidence than this one-day comparison.
Watch the next reported US spot Bitcoin and Ether ETF flow sessions for continued divergence.
