U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded $101.15 million in net inflows on September 2, while spot Ethereum, Solana, and XRP ETFs all posted net outflows, according to the latest ETF flow data.
The positive Bitcoin flows followed a mixed start to the month and suggest that capital returned to Bitcoin-focused investment products, signaling continued investor interest in the largest cryptocurrency. Bitcoin remained the only major crypto ETF category to end the day in positive territory. Since U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs launched in January 2024 and Ethereum, Solana, and XRP equivalents followed in subsequent approvals, these products have become a primary vehicle for institutional exposure to crypto, which is why their daily net flows are tracked closely as a proxy for institutional demand.
