Jiang Zhuoer, the founder of the Liebit Mining Pool (B.TOP), stated in a post that on the first trading day of U.S. stocks after a weekend surge, ETF fund flows have become a key observation indicator. Data shows that Bitcoin ETF net inflows reached $314 million, while Ethereum ETF net inflows were $180 million. U.S. stock funds are chasing long positions, which means that this round of increases has further confirmed funding, and the probability of Bitcoin falling back below the $67,000 starting point is very low.At the same time, the inflow of funds into the Ethereum ETF is equivalent to 57.2% of Bitcoin, significantly higher than the ETH/BTC total market capitalization ratio of 18.8%. Based on this, he believes that ETH will continue to play the role of the "engine" in this bull market.
