⚡ Executive Digest (3-Minute Breakdown)

US spot bitcoin and ether exchange-traded funds recorded $2.6 billion in net inflows last week, their strongest week since October 2025, as trading volumes surged and prior outflows reversed sharply. Bitcoin ETFs attracted $1.9 billion and ether ETFs $697.2 million, with bitcoin funds logging inflows every session and BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust receiving $503 million on Thursday as bitcoin prices climbed above $79,000. Assets under management jumped to $96.1 billion for bitcoin ETFs and $14.3 billion for ether ETFs, narrowing but not eliminating year-to-date outflows, which still total about $2.9 billion and $191.8 million respectively.

This update represents a notable development in the Crypto sector. Organizations and founders tracking this space should evaluate potential strategic and technical implications on their operations.
