Crypto market dynamics this week

Last week (August 18-24), BTC ETFs saw a net outflow of $1.178 billion. Throughout the week, BTC remained in a narrow range. Following Powell's dovish comments, the market briefly surged, but fell back to its initial high over the weekend. BTC's current market share is currently at 57.2%, a figure that has declined further, indicating that more altcoins are experiencing rapid market capitalization growth.

Last week, ETH ETFs saw a net outflow of $240 million, breaking their 11-week streak of net inflows. In the first three business days of the week, ETH ETFs saw outflows totaling $870 million, but received inflows totaling $630 million on Thursday and Friday. During this period, ETH outperformed BTC. Amidst this strong inflow, ETH continued its upward trajectory, reaching a record high of $4,956 over the weekend before reversing course early Monday. ETH's market share currently stands at 14.5%, and the ETH/BTC exchange rate is currently at 0.042, maintaining its strong performance.
