Altcoin ETFs Attract Nearly $59M as Bitcoin Funds See $120M Outflow
Key Takeaways
- •US spot Bitcoin ETFs registered $120.2 million in net outflows on Sept. 9, following $166.8 million in withdrawals across the first two sessions of the holiday-shortened week.
- •Spot Ether ETFs recorded $34.7 million of inflows, reversing the $24.3 million withdrawn on the previous day.
- •Solana ETFs attracted $11.2 million, all of which went to Bitwise’s BSOL product, while XRP’s individual contribution was not disclosed.
- •The reported one-day divergence does not prove that capital moved from Bitcoin ETFs into altcoin products or that investor demand has durably rotated.
- •Bitcoin was cited at about $76,818, down 1.7% over 24 hours, while the Fear & Greed Index was 56, or “Greed,” on Sept. 11.

US-listed cryptocurrency exchange-traded funds recorded sharply different flows on Sept. 9, 2026. Ether (ETH), XRP and Solana ETFs attracted nearly $59 million combined, while US spot Bitcoin funds posted about $120 million in outflows.
The one-day divergence may indicate differing demand across crypto fund products, but it does not establish a sustained shift from Bitcoin into altcoins. The available figures also do not show that money leaving Bitcoin funds was transferred directly into ETH, XRP or Solana products.
Bitcoin ETF Outflows Reach $120.2M
Cointelegraph, citing Farside Investors data, reported that US-listed spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded $120.2 million in net outflows on Wednesday, Sept. 9, 2026.
The $120 million figure represents money withdrawn from the funds, not a decline of the same amount in Bitcoin’s market value. Cointelegraph also reported that Bitcoin ETFs experienced $166.8 million in outflows during the first two sessions of the holiday-shortened week. That means the week’s outflows were front-loaded rather than concentrated solely on Sept. 9.
Ether and Solana Funds Record Inflows
The same report said US spot Ether ETFs attracted $34.7 million on Sept. 9. That reversed $24.3 million in withdrawals recorded on the previous day. The reported figure has not been independently reproduced against the primary dataset.
Spot Solana ETFs received $11.2 million on Sept. 9, with the entire amount flowing into Bitwise’s BSOL product. The source material did not confirm XRP’s individual contribution to the combined altcoin total. It therefore cannot be calculated reliably by subtracting the reported ETH and Solana amounts from the rounded figure of nearly $59 million.
The reported inflows into ETH, XRP and Solana products did not offset Bitcoin’s outflows. Subtracting the rounded headline figures produces roughly $61 million in net outflows across the four reported asset groups, although that arithmetic is meaningful only if the products have comparable reporting coverage.
That derived figure is not a measure of total crypto ETF-market flows. The available reporting contains no investor-level transaction data tracing funds from Bitcoin ETFs into Ether, XRP or Solana ETFs.
One-Day Data Does Not Establish a Rotation
The Sept. 9 figures cannot determine whether the altcoin inflows represent the beginning of a durable change in fund demand or a single-session divergence. Analysts have also recently flagged that Bitcoin ETP rolling one-year flows turned negative for the first time since 2023, adding longer-term context to the daily data. However, the one-day split alone does not demonstrate a lasting cooling in Bitcoin demand or a corresponding rotation into altcoin funds.
The available material refers to a 30-day comparison involving Bitcoin, Ether, XRP and Solana, but does not provide a completed result, total or market-share figure. It includes no 30-day totals, asset-by-asset breakdown or explanation of the reporting methodology. Any longer-term comparison would require the complete claim, its precise date range and comparable flow coverage for all four assets. Subsequent daily flow reports, a complete 30-day asset-by-asset series and primary-source confirmation would help determine whether the Sept. 9 divergence persisted beyond one session.
Market data cited at press time showed Bitcoin trading near $76,818, down about 1.7% over 24 hours. The Fear \u0026 Greed Index stood at 56, classified as “Greed,” on Sept. 11, according to the index provider. These figures describe the spot market and a broad sentiment gauge, not ETF-investor behavior.
