Bitcoin spot ETFs recorded net inflows of approximately $823.7 million, while Ethereum spot ETFs saw net inflows of $155 million, signaling strengthened capital inflows.

Overall market capitalization increased 5.2%, while market cap excluding BTC and ETH grew 2.6%, suggesting upward momentum is beginning to spread to a broader range of assets, though at a relatively moderate pace.
