Bitcoin Holds Weekly Inflows While Ether, Altcoin ETFs Slip
Key Takeaways: Ether ETFs told a more consistent story. The group recorded $42.15 million in net outflows, extending a pattern of persistent selling. Blackrock’s ETHA remained the central pressure point, posting repeated large redemptions. Fidelity’s FETH and Grayscale’s ETHE added to the drag. Still, there were pockets of resilience. Blackrock’s ETHB continued to attract steady inflows, supported by its staking appeal. Grayscale’s Ether Mini Trust, Bitwise’s ETHW, and 21Shares’ TETH also saw selective buying. The divergence suggests investors are not leaving ether entirely, but they are becoming far more selective. Solana ETFs posted $5.2 million in net outflows, driven largely by weakness in Bitwise’s BSOL. A brief inflow into Fidelity’s FSOL offered some relief, but not enough to change the direction. XRP ETFs also slipped, recording $3.56 million in net outflows. Activity remained thin throughout the week, with Grayscale’s GXRP and other products seeing intermittent redemptions and limited inflow support. The broader takeaway is subtle but important. Capital is still in motion, but it is concentrating with investors choosing fewer products, reacting faster, and committing less. The holiday-shortened week delivered mixed results with Bitcoin edging into positive territory, ether extending its losses, while both Solana and XRP declined. The market remains active, but conviction is still taking shape.About Author
