Spot crypto ETFs in the United States once again witnessed notable fund movements during the last trading session. As selling pressure intensifies across the market, ETF flows are providing a clear snapshot of how investor interest in major assets is shifting. Continued outflows from Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs indicate that risk aversion remains strong, while growing inflows into Solana and XRP ETFs show that investors still see growth potential in certain projects.
Millions in Outflows from Bitcoin ETFs
Spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded $372.77 million in net outflows, marking one of the sharpest fund withdrawals of the week. Several key factors are driving this trend:
- Bitcoin falling below $90,000
- extremely weak market sentiment
- year-end portfolio rebalancing
- rising volatility
Risk-reduction strategies among fund managers are particularly evident in high-volume BTC ETFs. Even so, many analysts note that large outflows from Bitcoin ETFs often occur near market bottoms which, historically, can present a medium-term re-entry opportunity.
Ethereum ETFs Also See Outflows
Spot Ethereum ETFs recorded $74.22 million in outflows, coinciding with ETH dropping below the critical $3,000 level. Despite positive developments in the Ethereum ecosystem such as staking yields, rising L2 activity, and ongoing upgrades institutional investors remain cautious in the short term. Recent macroeconomic data and interest rate uncertainty have accelerated withdrawals from ETH-related funds.
Strong Inflows Into Solana ETFs
Solana has been one of the top assets attracting strong institutional interest in recent weeks, and ETF data reflects this trend. Solana ETFs saw $30.09 million in net inflows, supported by several major drivers:
- increasing transaction volume and user growth on the Solana network
- expanding DeFi and memecoin ecosystems
- institutional investors viewing Solana as a “high-potential L1”
Some analysts believe that once the current market correction ends, SOL could be among the assets that recover the most strongly.
XRP ETFs Record Multi-Million-Dollar Inflows
XRP ETFs recorded $8.32 million in net inflows, maintaining a positive trend. Ripple’s cross-border payment solutions, partnerships with banks, and rising institutional visibility following ETF approval are among the main drivers of this interest.
XRP’s relatively stronger price performance compared to Bitcoin and Ethereum in recent weeks suggests that institutions see XRP as a stabilizing or balancing asset within portfolios.
Overall Assessment
ETF flow data paints a clear picture: selling pressure continues on Bitcoin and Ethereum, but capital is not leaving the market entirely. Instead, investors are reallocating funds toward assets where they see greater upside potential particularly Solana and XRP. This shows that even during risk-off periods, crypto investors remain in search of opportunities. Market capital is not fleeing; it is being selectively redistributed across the ecosystem.
