Bitcoin ETFs add $26 Million as Crypto Rally Broadens

The ETF rally did not fade. It tightened. For a third consecutive session, crypto ETFs attracted fresh capital, reinforcing a recovery that is now beginning to look more durable. The pace slowed, but the direction remained intact.

Bitcoin ETFs recorded $26.05 million in net inflows, extending their streak to three days. The underlying flows, however, told a more complex story.

Blackrock’s IBIT continued to dominate, pulling in $81.71 million. Grayscale’s Bitcoin Mini Trust added $16.67 million, while Morgan Stanley’s MSBT contributed $13.36 million, signaling sustained institutional interest in newer structures.

Yet the selling pressure has not disappeared. Fidelity’s FBTC saw $35.99 million exit, Ark & 21Shares’ ARKB lost $27.41 million, and Grayscale’s GBTC shed $22.28 million. The inflows were enough to outweigh the redemptions, but only just. Trading volume stood at $2.29 billion, with net assets rising to $97.90 billion.

Ether ETFs extended their own streak, marking six consecutive days of inflows with an $18.02 million addition. As with bitcoin, the surface strength masked mixed internal dynamics.

Blackrock’s ETHA led with $30.51 million in inflows, supported by Grayscale’s Ether Mini Trust at $6.72 million. Offsetting this were outflows from Grayscale’s ETHE at $16.68 million and Bitwise’s ETHW at $2.52 million. Trading volume reached $701.47 million, with net assets closing at $13.69 billion.

In smaller segments, momentum was clearer and more unified.

XRP ETFs recorded a solid $11.87 million inflow, spread across three funds. Bitwise’s XRP led with $7.16 million, while Franklin’s XRPZ and Canary’s XRPC added $3.16 million and $1.55 million, respectively. Trading volume came in at $19.70 million, with net assets climbing to $1.08 billion.

Solana ETFs delivered the strongest relative performance of the day, posting a $15.50 million inflow. The entire allocation flowed into Bitwise’s product, highlighting concentrated demand. Trading volume stood at $44.60 million, with net assets rising to $891.75 million.

The pattern is becoming increasingly defined. Bitcoin’s recovery is being driven by a narrow group of dominant players. Ether is stabilizing with broader participation. Meanwhile, smaller assets are seeing more consistent inflows, as the trend continues to build.
