Bitcoin & Ethereum ETFs: $1B Inflows & Counting (But Is It Magic? 🤔)

by

Spot Bitcoin and Ether ETFs are currently behaving like a witch’s cauldron at a financial convention-boiling with enthusiasm and leaving everyone asking, “Is this a trick or a trend?” According to SoSoValue, BTC ETFs siphoned $642.35 million in net inflows last Friday, which is about as subtle as a dragon hoarding cash.
