Crypto ETFs Split Again: Bitcoin, Ether Bleed as Solana Surges
The midweek trading session brought another twist to the crypto exchange-traded fund (ETF) market. After Tuesday’s surge in inflows, both bitcoin and ether ETFs reversed sharply into the red, shedding a combined $462 million. Meanwhile, solana ETFs quietly extended their winning streak, defying the broader outflow trend with yet another green day.
For bitcoin ETFs, investors pulled out a hefty $277.98 million, marking a swift return to red after Tuesday’s brief rebound. The outflows were concentrated across four major players, with Fidelity’s FBTC leading the retreat at $132.86 million. Ark & 21Shares’ ARKB followed with $85.18 million, while Blackrock’s IBIT and Grayscale’s GBTC lost $36.88 million and $23.05 million, respectively. Despite the sell-off, trading remained active, with $3.66 billion in volume and net assets holding at $135.81 billion, a sign that while sentiment cooled, liquidity stayed intact.
Ether ETFs also faced a wave of redemptions totaling $183.77 million, suggesting that traders may be locking in profits or rotating capital elsewhere. Blackrock’s ETHA led with a massive $91 million outflow, followed by Grayscale’s ETHE at $49.35 million. Grayscale’s Ether Mini Trust lost $23.80 million, and Fidelity’s FETH rounded out the exits with $19.62 million. The day’s trading volume reached $1.88 billion, with net assets slipping to $22.14 billion.

Daily trading volume hit $35.42 million, and net assets climbed to $574.42 million, continuing a trend of resilience and steady accumulation.
Wednesday’s flows underscored a clear narrative: while bitcoin and ether ETFs faced another test of investor conviction, solana’s newfound appeal among institutional traders continues to grow, one green day at a time.
