Bitcoin ETFs: The Party’s Over (For Now) – $27M Walks Out the Door!

by

Oh, the drama! Bitcoin ETFs decided to take a little break from their inflow party, with a cheeky $27.5 million outflow on Friday. Meanwhile, Ether ETFs were like, “Hold my beer,” and lost $43 million. But hey, XRP and Solana ETFs were all, “We’re still cool,” and kept the modest inflows coming. Go, altcoins, go!

Crypto ETFs: Friday’s Mixed Bag of Nuts as Bitcoin and Ether Go Full Drama Queen

So, the rally decided to take a nap after three days of non-stop partying. Spot bitcoin ETFs were like, “Nah, we’re good,” and slipped into negative territory with a $27.55 million outflow. Blame it on Blackrock’s IBIT, which threw a $32.71 million tantrum and stormed out. Rude.

But wait, there were heroes! Invesco’s BTCO was like, “I got this,” and added $3.27 million, while Franklin’s EZBC chipped in $1.9 million. Still, it wasn’t enough to save the day from IBIT’s drama. Total trading volume? A cool $2.57 billion. Net assets? $83.40 billion. Yawn.

Ether ETFs had it worse. They lost $43 million, all thanks to Blackrock’s ETHA being the life of the outflow party. No other ether funds even bothered to show up. Total value traded? $679.61 million. Net assets? Down to $10.96 billion. Ouch.

Altcoins, though? They were having none of this nonsense. XRP ETFs were like, “We’re still here,” with a $2.21 million inflow, thanks to Franklin’s XRPZ. Trading volume? $12.42 million. Net assets? $983.18 million. Not too shabby.

Solana ETFs were also team “We’re fine,” attracting $1.31 million, all thanks to Bitwise’s BSOL. Trading activity? $25.70 million. Net assets? $753.16 million. Solid.

Friday was basically a crypto soap opera. Bitcoin and Ether were like, “We need a break,” while XRP and Solana were all, “We’re still vibing.” So, while the big guys took a chill pill, the altcoin ETFs were like, “Party’s still on!”
