Crypto markets show pull-back as Bitcoin ETFs gain while Ethereum flows reverse

Global crypto markets are seeing mixed flows: Bitcoin-backed ETFs posted inflows of about $90.6 million while Ethereum-focused ETFs experienced outflows totalling $93.6 million. Regulatory scrutiny is rising — Canada imposed a $126 million fine on a crypto firm and the U.S. government shutdown has added macro uncertainty. Institutional infrastructure developments continue, such as Crypto.com seeking an OCC bank charter and Dubai’s Mutuum Finance advancing its DeFi-protocol plans. The divergence in flows signals that investors are rotating within crypto segments while cautioning on broader digital-asset exposure.
