Claims and open questions
What sources claim
- The Block reported that spot bitcoin ETFs attracted $528 million on Wednesday, led by BlackRock and Fidelity.
- The Block reported that ether funds snapped a five-day outflow streak.
Still unresolved
- How much flowed into ether ETFs on the day the streak ended, and which issuers accounted for it, would need fund-level flow data or issuer statements.
- Whether the bitcoin inflow figure reflects a single trading day's creation data or a revised total would need confirmation from the fund issuers or a filing.
