Bitcoin and Ether ETFs Lose $118M as XRP and Solana Draw New Inflows
The brief lift in crypto exchange-traded fund (ETF) sentiment proved fragile.
After Monday’s stronger ether flows and scattered signs of demand in bitcoin funds, investors turned more defensive again. The selling was not as severe as in prior weeks, but it kept the market tilted toward caution. Bitcoin remained under pressure, while ether gave back part of its rebound. Altcoins, meanwhile, offered the brighter spots.
Bitcoin ETFs recorded $77.44 million in net outflows, extending their new losing streak to three trading days. The withdrawals were concentrated in two major funds. Blackrock’s IBIT led the exits with $61.64 million in outflows, while Fidelity’s FBTC saw $20.19 million leave the fund.
Grayscale’s Bitcoin Mini Trust provided a small offset with a $4.39 million inflow, but it was not enough to change the direction of the day. Total bitcoin ETF value traded reached $2.60 billion, while total net assets slipped further to $77.58 billion.
Ether ETFs also returned to negative territory after Monday’s $82.37 million inflow. The category posted $40.85 million in net outflows, showing that demand remains uneven.
Grayscale’s ETHE was the largest source of withdrawals, losing $17.42 million. Grayscale’s Ether Mini Trust followed with a $14.96 million exit, while Blackrock’s ETHA added another $8.47 million in outflows. Total ether ETF value traded stood at $633.56 million, and net assets closed at $9.13 billion.
XRP ETFs delivered the strongest positive flow of the session. The category brought in $7.44 million, split between Bitwise’s XRP product with $4.97 million and Franklin’s XRPZ with $2.48 million. Total XRP ETF traded value was $12.49 million, while net assets closed at $982.12 million.
Solana ETFs also finished in the green, though by a smaller margin. The category added $794,270, with Fidelity’s FSOL drawing $577,030 and Vaneck’s VSOL adding $217,240. Total solana ETF value traded reached $58 million, while net assets closed at $748.48 million.
HYPE ETFs had a quiet session, with no trading activity recorded. Net assets closed at $163.29 million.
Tuesday’s flows showed a market still struggling to build momentum. Bitcoin and ether ETFs lost a combined $118.29 million, while XRP and solana inflows helped soften the overall picture. For now, investor demand remains selective, and the largest crypto ETF categories are still searching for steadier support.
