Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) paused their multi-day inflow streak with a $27.5 million outflow on Friday, while ether funds lost $43 million. XRP and Solana ETFs continued to attract modest inflows.
Crypto ETFs See Mixed Friday as Bitcoin and Ether Turn Red
The rally finally took a breather. After three trading sessions of steady gains, spot bitcoin ETFs slipped back into negative territory, posting a net outflow of $27.55 million. The reversal was largely driven by Blackrock’s IBIT, which recorded a $32.71 million exit.
There were attempts to offset the decline. Invesco’s BTCO added $3.27 million, while Franklin’s EZBC pulled in $1.9 million. Still, the inflows weren’t enough to counterbalance IBIT’s withdrawal. Total trading volume reached $2.57 billion, and net assets closed at $83.40 billion.
Ether ETFs faced steeper pressure. The category recorded a $43 million outflow, entirely attributable to Blackrock’s ETHA. No other ether funds reported trading activity during the session. Total value traded stood at $679.61 million, and net assets fell to $10.96 billion.
Altcoins, however, held their ground. XRP ETFs posted a $2.21 million net inflow, driven primarily by Franklin’s XRPZ. Trading volume reached $12.42 million, and net assets ended at $983.18 million.
Solana ETFs also finished in positive territory. The segment attracted $1.31 million, powered solely by Bitwise’s BSOL. Trading activity totaled $25.70 million, with total net assets closing at $753.16 million.
Friday’s session marked a clear divergence. Bitcoin and ether paused after three days of momentum, weighed down by concentrated outflows in flagship products. Meanwhile, XRP and solana continued to draw incremental capital, suggesting that while large-cap crypto exposure cooled, investor appetite for select altcoin ETFs remained intact.
