Crypto ETF Investors Favor Ether and Altcoins as Bitcoin Funds Post Fresh Losses
Bitcoin’s relief rally in ETF flows lasted just one session.
After snapping its prior outflow streak on Friday with an $86 million inflow, bitcoin ETFs moved back into the red to start the new week. The category posted $64.09 million in net outflows, even as several funds saw fresh demand.
Blackrock’s IBIT brought in $66.45 million, while Grayscale’s Bitcoin Mini Trust added $10.60 million. Morgan Stanley’s MSBT drew $9.35 million, and Hashdex’s DEFI added $754,530.
But the outflows were larger.
Grayscale’s GBTC lost $124.01 million, overwhelming the day’s inflows. Fidelity’s FBTC saw $8.69 million leave, Ark & 21Shares’ ARKB lost $6.63 million, Vaneck’s HODL shed $6.13 million, and Franklin’s EZBC recorded a $5.78 million exit. Total bitcoin ETF value traded reached $2.54 billion, while total net assets closed at $83.33 billion.
Ether ETFs moved in the opposite direction. The category ended a four-day outflow streak with $22.50 million in net inflows.
Fidelity’s FETH was the main entry point, adding $17.62 million. Grayscale’s Ether Mini Trust brought in $3.12 million, while ETHE added $1.77 million. Total ether ETF value traded stood at $736.01 million, with net assets closing at $10.04 billion.
Altcoin ETFs Start the Week With Broad Inflows
HYPE ETFs delivered the strongest altcoin performance of the session, adding $17.19 million. Bitwise’s BHYP led with $15.53 million, while Grayscale’s HYPG added $1.66 million. Total value traded was $57.72 million, and net assets closed at $209.26 million.
Solana ETFs also finished positive, with $2.81 million in net inflows. Fidelity’s FSOL accounted for most of the move, adding $2.66 million, while Canary’s SOLC brought in $149,920. Total traded value reached $62.54 million, and net assets closed at $860.67 million.
XRP ETFs added $2.82 million, split almost evenly between Bitwise’s XRP product and Franklin’s XRPZ. Bitwise drew $1.43 million, while Franklin added $1.39 million. Total value traded was $33.19 million, and net assets closed at $1.11 billion.
Monday’s flows showed a market that is no longer moving as one block. Bitcoin ETFs remain vulnerable to large exits from legacy products, but ether and altcoin funds are finding buyers. That split suggests institutional demand is still present, but quite selective in capital deployment.
