What to know:
- Bitcoin ETFs lost $272 million on Feb. 3-because who needs money when you can have a price swing between $73k and $76k? It’s like watching a rollercoaster throw up.
- Ether and XRP ETFs? They’re sipping margaritas with $14 million and $20 million inflows. Investors aren’t fleeing crypto-they’re just swapping Bitcoin for better-looking assets. Priorities!
- Bitcoin’s now the crypto diva, flaking under macro stress. Meanwhile, others flex their “use cases.” Spoiler: None of them are actually useful. It’s all vibes.
Bitcoin ETFs bled cash Tuesday, but ether and XRP products partied like it was 2017. Investors are playing musical chairs with crypto, and Bitcoin just sat there looking confused. Classic.
U.S. Bitcoin ETFs lost $272 million on Feb. 3, per SoSoValue. Because nothing says “confidence” like sending $272 million to the crypto void. Bitcoin’s price swung like a toddler on a pogo stick-$73k to $76k, because why not?

The chaos? Thin liquidity and macro headlines faster than your ex’s texts. Bitcoin’s like, “I’m a digital gold! I don’t do volatility!” Then it does volatility. Hard.
Ether ETFs gained $14 million, XRP products $20 million. Investors aren’t fleeing-they’re just shopping around. Bitcoin’s like the unpopular kid at the crypto prom, while others twerk to the DJ.

This isn’t panic-it’s a strategic dance. Bitcoin’s become the crypto canary in the coal mine, reacting to tech jitters like a nervous chihuahua. Meanwhile, ether and XRP are just out here… doing things. Maybe?
On Feb. 3, Bitcoin tanked alongside U.S. software stocks after Anthropic’s AI tool. Because nothing says “future” like a robot that writes your taxes. Now everyone’s scared of AI, but hey, at least XRP has a better Instagram.
The takeaway? Investors are “selectively risky.” Bitcoin’s the crypto dog getting kicked to the curb, while others sip champagne. It’s a jungle out there-and someone forgot to feed the tiger.
