Meanwhile, data from Soso Value further validated BTC’s consistent move into green territory. As of July 16, the spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded $422.67 million in inflows, marking the eighth consecutive day of inflows in the digital asset-based investment product.

Data by Spotonchain illustrates massive ETH dumps by ICO whales as the ETH ETF launch nears. This could potentially be driving today’s price volatility.
