Bitcoin and Ether ETFs Extend Red Streak With Solana Defying Outflow Trend
The week began with sharp contrasts across the crypto ETF landscape. Bitcoin and ether funds saw another wave of redemptions, while solana ETFs continued their ascent, reinforcing a growing narrative that investors are diversifying beyond the top two cryptocurrencies.
Bitcoin ETFs logged their fourth straight day of outflows, shedding $186.51 million in a quiet yet decisive session. All redemptions were concentrated in Blackrock’s IBIT, which bore the entire brunt of the day’s exits. None of the other 11 bitcoin ETFs saw any movement, marking an unusually one-sided trading day. Despite the low fund participation, total trading volume reached $4.69 billion, and net assets dipped to $143.51 billion, extending last week’s downtrend.
Ether ETFs followed a similar script, registering a combined $135.76 million outflow across six funds. Blackrock’s ETHA led the redemptions with $81.70 million, trailed by Fidelity’s FETH at $25.14 million. Grayscale’s ETHE and Ether Mini Trust lost $15.03 million and $5.07 million, respectively, while Bitwise’s ETHW and Vaneck’s ETHV closed out the session with smaller exits of $6.19 million and $2.64 million each. Trading volume stood at $2.51 billion, and net assets fell to $24.02 billion, reflecting cautious sentiment in the ether market.
But the bright spot of the day belonged to solana ETFs, which continued their streak of green with a $70.05 million net inflow. Bitwise’s BSOL captured the majority at $65.16 million, while Grayscale’s GSOL added $4.90 million. The day’s trading volume reached $67.59 million, with net assets climbing to $513.35 million, a strong sign that investor enthusiasm for solana exposure remains undimmed.
As traditional crypto ETF heavyweights face headwinds, solana’s steady inflows suggest that market attention is slowly but steadily expanding beyond bitcoin and ether.
