US spot Bitcoin and Ether exchange-traded funds returned to weekly net inflows for the first time since early May, collecting a combined $281.8 million over the five trading days ending Friday. Spot Bitcoin ETFs drew about $197.4 million for the week, ending a record eight-week outflow streak that had drained roughly $8.26 billion from the products, while spot Ether ETFs added about $84.4 million, snapping their own eight-week losing run. The rebound marks a change in direction after nearly two months of steady withdrawals, though the size of the inflows shows demand remains cautious as this week's recovery replaced only about 3% of the $9.46 billion combined capital lost during the preceding eight weeks.
