Bitcoin and Ether ETFs See $670 Million in Exits
Friday’s ETF trading was marked by heavy exits from bitcoin and ether ETFs, and surprising strength from alternative assets. While the majors bled, Solana and most notably, XRP ETFs showed investors aren’t afraid to explore new lanes.
Bitcoin ETFs logged a third straight day of outflows, shedding $492.11 million across four major funds. The vast majority of the redemptions came from Blackrock’s IBIT, which saw a staggering $463.10 million exit. Grayscale’s GBTC added to the downturn with another $25.09 million outflow. Smaller withdrawals hit Wisdomtree’s BTCW ($6.03 million) and Fidelity’s FBTC ($2.06 million). A modest $4.17 million inflow into Grayscale’s Bitcoin Mini Trust barely moved the needle against the sea of red.
Trading activity remained heavy with $6.95 billion in volume, and net assets fell to $125.34 billion, marking a new local low driven by weeklong pressure.
Ether ETFs were no exception to the risk-off sentiment, recording a fourth consecutive day of outflows totaling $177.90 million. The selling was concentrated overwhelmingly in Blackrock’s ETHA, which lost $173.27 million. Grayscale’s ETHE added another $4.63 million to the exits. Total value traded reached $2.01 billion, and net assets settled at $20 billion as investor appetite remained muted.

Solana ETFs, however, extended one of the most consistent inflow streaks in the crypto ETF landscape. Bitwise’s BSOL attracted $12.04 million, pushing net assets to $541.31 million on $42.40 million in trading volume.
The day’s biggest twist came from the debut of XRP ETFs. Canary’s XRPC launched with a striking $243.05 million inflow, instantly marking XRP as a new contender in digital asset ETF markets.
With capital rotating aggressively and new entrants gaining traction, the ETF market is shifting quickly, and in ways few expected.
