Ether and XRP ETF Inflow Streaks End as Bitcoin Funds Rebound

US-listed spot Ether and XRP exchange-traded funds (ETFs) saw their inflow streaks come to an end on Wednesday, marking a reversal after a period of sustained demand, while Bitcoin funds returned to positive territory.

Spot Ether ETFs recorded $48 million in net outflows on Wednesday, snapping a run of 12 consecutive trading days of inflows, according to SoSoValue data. Over the course of that streak, the funds had attracted $1.62 billion. The one-day reversal is small relative to the roughly $1.6 billion accumulated over the prior stretch, a pattern consistent with the broader US spot crypto ETF market, where multi-week inflow runs have frequently been interrupted by brief outflow sessions since the products launched in 2024 and 2025.

BlackRock's iShares Ethereum Trust ETF (ETHA) led Ether fund outflows with $53.4 million, according to Farside Investors data. The Fidelity Ethereum Fund (FETH) lost $26.2 million, and the Grayscale Ethereum Staking ETF (ETHE) shed $23.5 million. BlackRock's staked Ether ETF (ETHB) partially offset those withdrawals with approximately $53 million in net inflows. The divergence between ETHA outflows and ETHB inflows within the same issuer's lineup underscores how flows can rotate among product structures, including staked-Ether vehicles that pass on staking rewards, rather than moving uniformly out of the asset class.

Spot XRP ETFs also posted $7.2 million in net outflows, ending an 11-session inflow streak. That streak had brought in roughly $170 million, lifting cumulative XRP ETF inflows to approximately $1.68 billion. US spot XRP ETFs began trading in mid-2025 following regulatory approval, making their flow history far shorter than Bitcoin's, which dates to January 2024.

Bitcoin ETFs moved in the opposite direction, drawing $101.2 million in inflows on Wednesday after recording $236.5 million in net outflows a day earlier. Daily ETF flow data has become one of the most closely watched proxies for institutional demand in crypto markets, as the funds hold the underlying assets directly, so shifts in net flows are often read as a signal of changing exposure among traditional-finance investors.

The shift in ETF flows came as cryptocurrency prices declined. Ether led losses over the past seven days, down 3.4%, followed by XRP at 2.4% and Bitcoin at 1.3%, according to CoinGecko. At the time of publication, the three crypto assets traded at $2,407, $1.36, and $77,744, respectively. Whether Wednesday's outflows mark the start of a longer pullback or a one-session pause will be visible in the coming days' flow reports from trackers such as SoSoValue and Farside Investors.
