Bitcoin ETFs scooped up 1,629 BTC, which comes to about $115 million, while Ethereum ETFs weren’t shy either, snatching 27,480 ETH-$57 million worth of digital fancy coins. BlackRock strutted in front like the mayor at a parade, grabbing 1,630 BTC, with Fidelity tagging along behind with a modest 218 BTC.
