ETF demand returned in force this week, with institutional capital flowing into Bitcoin, Ether and Solana as crypto markets look to close September in the green.
A difficult week for crypto saw BTC remain near US$77,000 (A$107,800), even as ETF outflows, rising rate expectations and widespread losses tested market resilience.
Bitcoin pushed above US$81K (A$113K) before closing the week steady, while a hawkish Fed Jackson Hole speech hit altcoins hard. Solana outperforms as ADA and XRP led the week's biggest losers.
A modest weekly decline masks softer demand signals, as Bitcoin struggles for firmer footing and institutional positioning shifts.
Institutional inflows and rising altcoin momentum pushed digital asset markets higher this week as traders monitored macro risks and upcoming US stablecoin developments.
Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) coil at pivotal levels as institutional flows turn mixed, altcoins rotate, and macro catalysts line up.
