Both Bitcoin.com and Cointelegraph report that Blackrock's IBIT ETF attracted $110 million in inflows, while Ether funds experienced $89 million in outflows. However, Cointelegraph provides additional context, noting that US spot Bitcoin ETFs remain down $202 million for October despite the recent rebound. This suggests a more nuanced picture of Bitcoin ETF performance beyond the single-day inflow.

US spot 
Bitcoin ETFs opened the week with a significant $110.34 million in net inflows, driven entirely by Blackrock's IBIT fund, according to multiple outlets. This inflow stands in contrast to the broader trend for October, which has seen about $202 million in net outflows from US spot Bitcoin ETFs.
Ether funds, on the other hand, returned to sizable outflows, with $89 million leaving these funds. This indicates a potential shift in institutional preferences towards Bitcoin over Ether. The outflows from Ether funds suggest a lack of confidence or interest in Ether compared to Bitcoin at this time.
While Bitcoin ETFs saw a positive inflow, other smaller categories like zcash and 
NEAR Protocol were the only ones to attract fresh capital. However, NEAR Protocol's Total Value Locked (TVL) dropped by 8.8% over the past week to $128.16 million, as reported by DeFiLlama.
The overall crypto market cap stands at $2.76 trillion, with the market remaining relatively flat. Bitcoin's price is at $80,213, up 0.14% in the last 24 hours but down 1.39% over the past week. The Fear & Greed index is at 48, indicating a neutral market sentiment.
This divergence in fund flows underscores the current market dynamics, with Bitcoin continuing to attract the lion's share of institutional investment. The performance of Bitcoin ETFs will be closely watched in the coming weeks to see if this trend continues or if other cryptocurrencies can regain some of the lost ground.
