U.S. crypto ETFs closed Friday under renewed selling pressure, with bitcoin funds losing $82.39 million and ether ETFs shedding another $69.68 million.

Blackrock’s IBIT accounted for $71.78 million, while Fidelity’s FBTC lost another $10.61 million. Trading value reached $2.66 billion, lifting weekly bitcoin ETF turnover above $10 billion.

Across the five sessions, bitcoin ETFs lost roughly $228.6 million.
