Ferromagnetism in van der Waals systems, preserved down to a monolayer limit, attracted attention to a class of materials with general composition CrX₃(X=I, Br, Cl), which are treated now as canonical two-dimensional ferromagnets. Their diverse magnetic properties, such as different easy axes or varying and controllable character of in-plane or interlayer ferromagnetic coupling, make them promising candidates for spintronic, photonic, optoelectronic, and other applications. Still, significantly different magneto-optical properties between the three materials, have been presenting a challenging puzzle for researchers over the last few years. Herewith, we demonstrate that despite similar structural and magnetic configurations, the coupling between excitons and magnetization is qualitatively different in CrBr₃ and CrI₃ films. Through a combination of the optical spin pumping experiments with the state-of-the-art theory describing bound excitonic states in the presence of magnetization, we concluded that the hole-magnetization coupling has the opposite sign in CrBr₃ and CrI₃ and also between the ground and excited exciton state. Consequently, we demonstrate efficient spin pumping capabilities in CrBr₃ driven by magnetization via spin-dependent absorption and unraveled the different origins of the magnetic hysteresis in CrBr₃ and CrI₃ are unraveled
