That reversed roughly $577 million of combined outflows from Thursday and Friday, as tracked by SoSoValue.
The inflows coincided with a BTC price rally to about $71,088, up about 3.1%.
The article links the move in part to easing geopolitical worries after comments from former President Trump about potential de-escalation and steps to keep oil prices down, suggesting macro and headline drivers helped spark renewed demand for Bitcoin ETF exposure.
Altcoin ETF outflows
Altcoin-focused ETFs continued to face net selling pressure: Ether ETFs recorded $51 million of outflows, XRP funds saw $18 million leave, and Solana ETFs had $2.5 million of outflows on the same day, marking the third straight session of withdrawals for altcoin funds.
The piece notes cumulative movements across the recent sessions, including roughly $225 million exiting Ethereum products and about $41 million from XRP and $16 million from Solana over the period.
