Bitcoin Turns Red While Ether, XRP, Solana Stay in the Green
The tone across U.S. spot crypto exchange-traded funds (ETFs) shifted again as capital rotated within the complex rather than exiting altogether. Bitcoin lost ground, ether stayed resilient, while XRP and solana funds continued to attract steady interest, signaling selective positioning rather than a wholesale risk-off move.
Bitcoin ETFs recorded a $243.34 million net outflow, driven largely by aggressive selling in Fidelity’s FBTC, which alone shed $312.24 million. Grayscale’s GBTC followed with an $83.07 million exit, while its Bitcoin Mini Trust lost $32.73 million.
Ark & 21Shares’ ARKB and Vaneck’s HODL added further pressure with outflows of $29.47 million and $14.38 million, respectively. Blackrock’s IBIT stood out as the lone bright spot, pulling in $228.66 million, though that support fell short of offsetting broader losses. Total value traded reached $4.33 billion, with net assets holding at $120.85 billion.
Ether ETFs extended their recovery for a third straight session, posting a $114.74 million inflow. Blackrock’s ETHA dominated activity with a sizable $198.80 million entry, reinforcing its role as the primary liquidity driver in the Ether ETF market. Smaller inflows were seen on 21Shares’ TETH ($1.62 million) and Bitwise’s ETHW ($1.39 million). However, the session wasn’t without friction. Grayscale’s ETHE and Ether Mini Trust recorded exits of $53 million and $32.45 million, while Fidelity’s FETH slipped $1.62 million. Trading volume totaled $1.72 billion, lifting net assets to $20.06 billion.
XRP ETFs remained constructive, logging $19.12 million in inflows. Franklin’s XRPZ led with $7.35 million, followed by Canary’s XRPC at $6.49 million. Bitwise’s XRP and Grayscale’s GXRP added $3.45 million and $1.75 million, respectively. Total value traded came in at $58.92 million, with assets steady at $1.62 billion.

Solana ETFs also stayed firmly positive, attracting $9.22 million. Fidelity’s FSOL accounted for most of the move with $7.75 million, while Grayscale’s GSOL and Vaneck’s VSOL contributed smaller inflows. Trading activity reached $57.23 million, pushing net assets up to $1.10 billion.
Overall, Tuesday’s flows highlighted a clear split beneath the surface. Bitcoin absorbed profit-taking after Monday’s surge, ether maintained its rebound, and XRP and solana continued to draw consistent, measured demand, keeping the broader crypto ETF market active despite the uneven finish.
