ETF inflows return with price rebound
Bitcoin and Ether ETFs both saw renewed inflows after a sharp outflow session. BlackRock’s IBIT led Bitcoin ETF gains with about $139 million, followed by Fidelity’s FBTC at करीब $21 million.

Despite the recovery, July flows remain choppy, with frequent swings between inflows and outflows and no sustained trend so far.
