The crypto exchange-traded funds (ETFs) had another difficult day, marked by some early hopes for recovery that ultimately ended in deeper losses. While Bitcoin and Ether ETFs saw some inflows from various issuers, major redemptions from their leading funds kept the trend of net outflows alive.
Meanwhile, Solana ETFs, on the other hand, have continued to show impressive growth. This can be seen in the way the token is bucking the general downtrend in the digital assets ETF market.
Bitcoin ETFs: Small Gains, Big Losses
Bitcoin ETFs showed some initial signs of improvement with inflows across five major funds, but the optimism didn’t last.
As it stands, Fidelity’s FBTC fund leads the charge, bringing in $113.30 million in new investments, followed by Ark & 21Shares’ ARKB with $82.94 million. To this end, Grayscale’s Bitcoin Mini Trust added $21.61 million, while Bitwise’s BITB and Vaneck’s HODL brought in smaller amounts, $16.97 million and $3.68 million, respectively.

However, these gains were quickly wiped out by a massive outflow from Blackrock’s IBIT fund, which saw a $375.49 million exit. As a result, bitcoin ETFs ended the day with a net outflow of $137.00 million, marking their sixth consecutive days of recording red. The total trading volume for Bitcoin ETFs reached $4.07 billion, and their net assets dropped to $139.15 billion.
Ether ETFs: Struggling to Keep Up
Ether ETFs, on the other hand, seem to be facing a similar fate, with some initial inflows followed by large withdrawals. As it stands, Grayscale’s Ether Mini Trust received $24.06 million, and Fidelity’s FETH and 21Shares’ TETH added smaller amounts of $3.45 million and $518,000, respectively.
However, a significant $146.61 million outflow from Blackrock’s ETHA fund erased the positive momentum, leaving ether ETFs with a total outflow of $118.58 million. The day’s trading volume for ether ETFs was $1.79 billion, and their net assets closed at $22.74 billion.
Solana ETFs: A Bright Spot in a Red Market
Meanwhile, it appears Bitcoin and Ether ETFs are currently struggling, while Solana ETFs continue to soar. In a recent development, Bitwise’s BSOL pulled in $7.46 million, while Grayscale’s GSOL added $2.24 million, bringing the total inflows to $9.70 million.
To this end, with $50.81 million traded, Solana ETFs saw their net assets rise to $531.35 million, marking another positive day in an otherwise tough market for crypto ETFs.
