Ethereum’s $2,000 test: CoinShares sees outflows easing, but ETF cash keeps leaving

Crypto ETPs — that’s exchange-traded products like ETFs tracking digital assets — posted their third consecutive week of outflows, though the bleed slowed to $187 million last week, according to CoinShares on Monday.
