U.S. bitcoin exchange-traded funds recorded a weekly net outflow of $1.23 billion last week, marking their second-largest outflow on record.

The world's largest cryptocurrency has since climbed back, up 4.2% in the past 24 hours to $111,268 as of 2:45 a.m. ET Monday. Ether also jumped 5% to $4,082.
Meanwhile, spot Ethereum ETFs recorded a weekly net outflow of $311.8 million last week, compared to a net inflow of $488.3 million the previous week.
Analysts told The Block on Monday that traders now anticipate a potential interest rate cut later this month and an early end to quantitative tightening.
"Chair Jerome Powell acknowledged that while growth remains firmer than expected, labor market softness persists," said Rachael Lucas, crypto analyst of BTC Markets. "This shift has eased bond yields and improved the liquidity environment for risk assets, including digital assets."
