Bitcoin ETF inflows surge as Ether demand cools
Vincent Liu, chief investment officer at Kronos Research, told Cointelegraph that the current ETF flows suggest a “strong” rotation into Bitcoin as investors double down on the “digital gold” and store-of-value narrative.
According to Liu, renewed confidence in Bitcoin reflects broader market sentiment favoring assets seen as resilient amid global uncertainty and anticipation of upcoming interest rate cuts.
Meanwhile, Ethereum’s ongoing ETF outflows underscore cooling demand and softer onchain activity, with institutional investors waiting for new catalysts before re-entering.
Looking ahead to next week, Liu expects BTC inflows to remain strong as traders position themselves for a potential macro tailwind from monetary easing. “Ethereum and other alts could regain only if network activity picks up or a new catalysts emerge,” he added.
