  • US-listed spot Bitcoin ETFs just posted their fifth straight week of outflows, with investors pulling $3.8 billion in total, marking the longest losing streak since February last year.

  • Asian stocks moved the other way, with South Korea’s Kospi hitting a record high as SK Hynix and Samsung Electronics jumped, while Hong Kong’s Hang Seng Index surged more than 2%.
