Fact Check
The assessment is based on the high authority and direct relevance of the primary sources provided. The statement makes two specific data claims: a $22.43 million net outflow for Ethereum Spot ETFs and a $457 million net inflow for Bitcoin Spot ETFs on December 17. The sources most relevant to verifying these claims are Farside Investors and Blockworks. Source 2, the 'Bitcoin ETF Flow' page from Farside Investors, is described as a primary, aggregated data table for exactly this type of information, making it a definitive source for the Bitcoin part of the claim. Similarly, Source 1, the 'Ethereum ETF Tracker' from Blockworks, is designed to provide the specific data needed for the Ethereum part of the claim. Furthermore, Source 4, the Farside Investors X account, is described as posting daily updates for both ETF types, providing a strong secondary confirmation path. These sources are characterized by high authority (0.80-0.90) and high relevance (0.90-0.95). There is no conflicting evidence presented among the sources; the remaining sources are correctly identified as irrelevant due to their focus on different topics (Solana, XRP, general education) or their nature as non-data sources (opinion pieces, highlights pages). Given that multiple, highly credible, and directly relevant primary data sources are provided, and there are no contradictions, it is highly probable that the statement accurately reports the data from these sources for the specified date. The slight margin for false probability accounts for the theoretical possibility of a transcription error in the statement itself, but the evidence strongly supports its truthfulness.
