Heavy Outflows Hit U.S. Spot Bitcoin and Ether ETFs to Start 2026; XRP and SOL See Inflows🌊🌈
U.S. spot bitcoin and ether ETFs began 2026 with a challenging start, experiencing heavy combined outflows of $749.6 million during the first full trading week.
Key Highlights: 💥
Bitcoin ETFs: Experienced significant withdrawals totaling $681 million, with BlackRock's IBIT fund leading the outflows.
Ether ETFs: Saw $68.6 million in losses, primarily led by BlackRock's ETHA.
A Contrasting Trend:✨🌠
XRP ETFs: Defied the wider market trend by continuing to attract capital, gaining $38.1 million. The funds also hit a record high weekly trading volume of $219 million since their launch.
SOL ETFs: Also recorded net inflows, indicating positive momentum in this sector, with Bitwise's BSOL emerging as the leader in assets under management (AUM).
The data suggests a shift in institutional interest, showing strong performance and capital attraction for XRP and SOL funds, while demand for bitcoin and ether ETFs cooled off at the start of the year.
