Flows into Bitcoin ETFs Slow Down
Despite the initial surge in the week, the influx of funds into the top 10 spot bitcoin ETFs witnessed a slowdown towards the end of the week. Thursday and Friday saw a combined total of $133 million and $199 million entering the market, respectively. This deceleration can be attributed to a broader market sell-off, reflecting the dynamic nature of cryptocurrency investments.
