US spot bitcoin ETFs snapped a nine-day streak of net inflows, while ether ETFs kept extending their run of gains, according to Yahoo Finance. The divergence suggests investor appetite for the two largest cryptocurrencies isn't moving in lockstep right now. The flow shift lands alongside a separate currency story: Japan's yen fell again despite $97 billion in aid aimed at supporting it. A weaker yen can push Japanese investors to look abroad for returns, and some observers flagged bitcoin as one place that money could flow, though that link remains speculative rather than confirmed in flow data. What's unresolved is whether the bitcoin ETF pause is a one-day blip or the start of a longer outflow trend, and whether the yen's weakness despite official intervention signals the aid isn't working as intended.
What would change this view

If bitcoin ETFs resume net inflows within the next few trading sessions, the snapped streak would look like a pause rather than a turning point.
