Spot crypto ETFs showed divergent fund flows last week, with Solana (SOL) and XRP products recording net inflows, while Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) spot ETFs experienced notable net outflows.

Spot crypto ETFs showed divergent fund flows last week, with Solana (SOL) and XRP products recording net inflows, while Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) spot ETFs experienced notable net outflows.

Weekly Net ETF Flows

  • Bitcoin (BTC): –$782 million
  • Ethereum (ETH): –$102.34 million
  • Solana (SOL): +$13.14 million
  • XRP: +$64 million

Market Context

The outflows from BTC and ETH ETFs suggest a period of profit‑taking or risk reduction in the two largest cryptocurrencies, following extended periods of strong inflows earlier in the cycle. Macro uncertainty, shifting rate expectations, and short‑term price volatility may have contributed to the pullback.

In contrast, SOL and XRP ETFs attracted fresh capital, signaling selective investor interest in large‑cap altcoins. Market participants point to relative performance, rotation trades, and expectations around ecosystem growth and regulatory developments as possible drivers.

Key Takeaways

  • Capital rotation: Investors may be reallocating from BTC and ETH into select altcoin exposure
  • Altcoin resilience: Positive flows into SOL and XRP indicate sustained demand despite broader ETF outflows
  • Short‑term sentiment shift: ETF flows reflect tactical positioning rather than a broad reversal of long‑term trends

Looking Ahead

Analysts will be watching whether:

  • BTC and ETH ETF outflows persist or stabilize
  • Inflows into SOL and XRP accelerate
  • Broader market sentiment turns risk‑on again

ETF flow data remains a closely watched indicator of institutional and allocator sentiment in the crypto market.

Fed forecasts only one rate cut in 2026, a more conservative outlook than expected

The post Fed forecasts only one rate cut in 2026, a more conservative outlook than expected appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell talks to reporters following the regular Federal Open Market Committee meetings at the Fed on July 30, 2025 in Washington, DC. Chip Somodevilla | Getty Images The Federal Reserve is projecting only one rate cut in 2026, fewer than expected, according to its median projection. The central bank’s so-called dot plot, which shows 19 individual members’ expectations anonymously, indicated a median estimate of 3.4% for the federal funds rate at the end of 2026. That compares to a median estimate of 3.6% for the end of this year following two expected cuts on top of Wednesday’s reduction. A single quarter-point reduction next year is significantly more conservative than current market pricing. Traders are currently pricing in at two to three more rate cuts next year, according to the CME Group’s FedWatch tool, updated shortly after the decision. The gauge uses prices on 30-day fed funds futures contracts to determine market-implied odds for rate moves. Here are the Fed’s latest targets from 19 FOMC members, both voters and nonvoters: Zoom In IconArrows pointing outwards The forecasts, however, showed a large difference of opinion with two voting members seeing as many as four cuts. Three officials penciled in three rate reductions next year. “Next year’s dot plot is a mosaic of different perspectives and is an accurate reflection of a confusing economic outlook, muddied by labor supply shifts, data measurement concerns, and government policy upheaval and uncertainty,” said Seema Shah, chief global strategist at Principal Asset Management. The central bank has two policy meetings left for the year, one in October and one in December. Economic projections from the Fed saw slightly faster economic growth in 2026 than was projected in June, while the outlook for inflation was updated modestly higher for next year. There’s a lot of uncertainty…
