Crypto ETFs Bleed $497M in a Week – Bitcoin and Ethereum Record Heavy Selling

Latest Week 7 flow data (Feb 9–Feb 15, 2026), revealed one thing clearly: capital is moving out of U.S. spot crypto ETFs at scale.

Total net outflows across all spot crypto ETFs reached -$497.63 million, pushing combined ETF assets under management to roughly $101 billion. The majority of that pressure came from Bitcoin and Ethereum products, while a handful of altcoin ETFs recorded modest inflows.

Bitcoin ETFs Lead the Outflows

U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded -$359.91 million in weekly net outflows.

In total, funds sold 5,482 BTC, equivalent to roughly 12 days of newly mined Bitcoin supply. That level of distribution signals active institutional repositioning rather than passive drift.

Breakdown among major issuers:

• BlackRock sold 3,481 BTC
• Fidelity sold 1,863 BTC
• Grayscale bought 412 BTC

The net result remains decisively negative, reflecting risk reduction during a period of broader crypto market weakness.

Ethereum ETFs Also Under Pressure

Ethereum spot ETFs followed the same trend, logging -$161.15 million in net outflows.

Funds collectively sold 83,070 ETH during the week.

Issuer breakdown:

• BlackRock sold 55,820 ETH
• Fidelity sold 22,122 ETH
• Grayscale bought 11,010 ETH

Although Grayscale added exposure, it was not enough to offset the broader institutional selling trend.

Altcoins Show Selective Inflows

While Bitcoin and Ethereum absorbed the bulk of the outflows, some altcoin ETFs saw modest positive flows:

• Solana ETF: +$13.17M (+150,070 SOL)
• XRP ETF: +$7.65M (+5.29M XRP)
• Chainlink ETF: +$1.71M (+196.23K LINK)
• Avalanche ETF: +$897K (+103.2K AVAX)

Dogecoin, Litecoin, and HBAR ETFs reported flat flows.

This divergence suggests selective positioning rather than a complete retreat from crypto exposure.
