Bitcoin exchange-traded funds just logged another winning week, but this was not a broad, runaway wave of institutional buying.

Cointelegraph reported that U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs drew about $241.1 million in net inflows during the week ended October 2. That extended the category’s positive streak to three weeks and lifted cumulative net inflows to roughly $57.8 billion.

Ether funds moved in the opposite direction, posting about $138 million in weekly net outflows after attracting roughly $690 million the week before.

The underlying figures came from SoSoValue and cover the September 28 through October 2 reporting week. Bitcoin traded near $86,200 when the report was published, up about 3.7% over seven days, while Ether was near $2,727
