U.S. spot Bitcoin and Ether ETFs opened 2026 under pressure, posting $749.6 million in combined outflows during the first full trading week.

Bitcoin ETFs accounted for $681 million in withdrawals, with BlackRock’s IBIT seeing the largest exits, while Ether ETFs shed $68.6 million, led by outflows from BlackRock’s ETHA.

Meanwhile, capital rotated elsewhere. XRP ETFs stayed strong, pulling in $38.1 million and recording their highest weekly trading volume since launch at $219 million. SOL ETFs also posted net inflows, with Bitwise’s BSOL leading in assets under management.

The data signals a clear shift in institutional interest toward XRP and SOL, even as Bitcoin and Ether ETFs face short-term weakness.
