ETF flows remain the clearest signal of institutional crypto demand. On Sept 10, the data showed a sharp divergence from the prior week’s softness: ➢ Bitcoin spot ETFs attracted $757M net inflows, led by FBTC (+$299M) and IBIT (+$211M). ➢ Ethereum spot ETFs turned positive with $171.5M inflows, snapping a multi-day outflow streak. ETF wrappers are now the marginal buyers of $BTC and $ETH. Yesterday’s prints show that Bitcoin is pulling in institutional-scale capital, while Ethereum is still viewed tactically, but not abandoned. ● Market Data Bitcoin Spot ETFs - Net Inflow (Sep 10): +$757M - Leaders: FBTC: +$299M IBIT: +$211M - Trend: Bitcoin ETFs continue to function as the baseline institutional bid. Even after weeks of chop, large inflows confirm that allocators use $BTC as the entry point into the asset class. Ethereum Spot ETFs - Net Inflow (Sep 10): +$171.5M - Trend: First sizeable positive day after six consecutive days of outflows ($500M+ lost in that stretch). Signal: Allocators are testing re-entry into $ETH, but demand is fragile compared to $BTC. ● Core Analysis $BTC flows are structural. - IBIT and FBTC act as institutional liquidity sinks. - These funds are now dampening volatility: even when spot BTC sells off, ETF inflows provide a baseline bid. $ETH flows are tactical. - Yesterday’s $171M reversal proves $ETH is still investable. - But unlike $BTC, flows aren’t sticky, they oscillate with ETH/BTC spread trades and macro rates. - ETH remains the “second choice” allocation unless narrative catalysts (restaking, staking yield vs Treasuries) reignite conviction. ● The Watchlist for September/October ➢ Macro policy path: A September/October Fed cut could redirect flows into higher-beta ETH risk. ➢ Relative strength: If ETH ETFs can string together multiple weeks of inflows, it would reset the ETH/BTC ratio narrative. ➢ Product evolution: Staking-enabled $ETH wrappers (yield + ETF) would be a game-changer. ● Big Picture ETF wrappers are crypto’s institutional distribution rail. ➢ For Bitcoin: Demand is persistent, heavy, and structural. It is the default wrapper for institutional allocators. ➢ For Ethereum: Inflows show $ETH isn’t abandoned, but conviction is weaker. Until $ETH demonstrates consistent ETF appetite, it will trade as a tactical allocation alongside cash-flow tokens, not a structural anchor. ✍️ My Take Don’t over-read single green prints. The story isn’t that “$ETH got $171M in inflows yesterday.” The story is whether $ETH can sustain inflows over multiple weeks the way $BTC consistently does.

Onboarding in Web3 shouldn’t feel like applying for a bank account. Most KYC systems add friction before trust is even necessary. What @billions_ntwk is building with Progressive Identity Verification changes the game: you start light with social proofs and humanity checks, then scale up only when higher assurance is actually required. No special hardware, no complicated setup just the phone in your pocket. Onboard in seconds, prove your humanity with simple UX, and claim what’s fairly yours. That balance between trust and usability is exactly what Web3 needs to go mainstream.
