Weekly Crypto ETF Flows: Bitcoin, Solana and XRP Post Inflows as Ethereum Funds Shed $140 Million
Key Takeaways
- •Solana spot ETFs attracted the largest weekly inflows among the tracked categories, taking in $13.19 million in new capital.
- •Ethereum spot ETFs recorded $140 million in net outflows, the only negative result among four tracked ETF categories.
- •XRP spot ETFs posted $9.56 million in weekly net inflows, sustaining positive investor demand for the newer fund category.
- •Bitcoin spot ETFs saw relatively modest net inflows of $6.21 million despite finishing the week in positive territory.
- •Solana and XRP spot funds are recent additions to the U.S. market, launching after the first spot bitcoin and ethereum ETFs began trading in 2024.
U.S. crypto spot exchange-traded funds (ETFs) delivered a split performance last week, with Bitcoin, Solana and XRP products all closing in positive territory while Ethereum funds moved firmly in the opposite direction, according to weekly flow data highlighted by Cointelegraph.
The dataset covered four spot categories — Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana and XRP. Spot ETFs hold the underlying asset and trade on U.S. exchanges, and their weekly net flow tallies — total creations minus redemptions — are widely followed as a barometer of investor demand for crypto through regulated, exchange-listed vehicles.
Bitcoin spot ETFs recorded $6.21 million in net inflows over the week. Although positive, the figure was relatively modest compared with some of the larger weekly moves seen across crypto investment products.
Solana spot ETFs performed more strongly, bringing in $13.19 million in net new capital. XRP funds also remained positive, posting $9.56 million in weekly net inflows. Taken together, the figures indicate continued investor demand across several major crypto assets.
Ethereum ETFs Record $140 Million in Outflows
Ethereum was the clear exception in the latest weekly flows. Spot ETH ETFs posted $140 million in net outflows, making Ethereum the only one of the four tracked crypto ETF categories to finish the week with negative flows. Net outflows mean redemptions outpaced new share creations across the category during the period.
The gap is notable because Bitcoin, Solana and XRP all remained in positive territory. However, a single week of ETF activity does not necessarily establish a lasting trend. Fund flows can shift quickly as investors respond to market prices, risk sentiment and broader financial conditions.
Even so, the $140 million withdrawal puts Ethereum ETF demand in focus heading into the next trading week.

Solana Leads the Positive Weekly Flows
Among the three categories that recorded inflows, Solana posted the largest total at $13.19 million, followed by XRP at $9.56 million and Bitcoin at $6.21 million. Solana and XRP spot funds are the newer additions to the U.S. lineup, arriving after the first U.S. spot bitcoin and ethereum ETFs began trading in 2024.
The latest numbers highlight a clear divergence in investor positioning across U.S. crypto spot ETFs. While BTC, SOL and XRP products attracted fresh capital, ETH funds faced meaningful redemptions during the same period.
Investors will now be watching whether Ethereum ETFs can return to positive territory in the coming week, and whether the inflows into Bitcoin, Solana and XRP funds continue.
