XRP and SOL ETFs See Inflows Amid BTC, ETH Outflows
XRP and SOL ETFs attracted inflows last week, while BTC and ETH ETFs posted significant outflows.
- Bitcoin ETFs saw $689M in net outflows last week.
- XRP and Solana ETFs bucked the trend with net inflows.
- Investors may be rotating into altcoin exposure.
Altcoin ETFs Gain as Bitcoin, Ethereum Lose Ground
In a notable shift, spot ETFs for XRP and Solana (SOL) attracted net inflows last week, while the more dominant Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) ETFs experienced significant capital outflows. The data reflects changing investor sentiment as altcoins gain momentum.
According to the latest weekly figures:
- Bitcoin ETFs posted $689.22 million in net outflows.
- Ethereum ETFs lost $149.07 million.
- In contrast, XRP ETFs saw $39.04 million in inflows.
- Solana ETFs received $2.94 million.
This trend could indicate that investors are rotating out of major crypto assets and diversifying into emerging alternatives like XRP and SOL, which have recently gained traction in both narrative and market activity.
XRP and SOL: Gaining Institutional Interest
The inflows into XRP and SOL ETFs come at a time when both assets are gaining institutional and regulatory clarity. XRP’s favorable legal developments against the SEC and Solana’s growing DeFi and NFT ecosystem have made them more attractive to investors looking beyond BTC and ETH.
For institutional traders and asset managers, these ETF inflows signal growing demand for altcoin exposure in traditional financial products. While the dollar amounts are still relatively small compared to BTC and ETH volumes, the directional shift is significant.
What’s Behind the BTC and ETH Outflows?
The outflows from BTC and ETH ETFs may reflect short-term profit-taking, macroeconomic concerns, or reallocation strategies ahead of anticipated rate cuts or policy moves. With Bitcoin’s price cooling off after recent highs and Ethereum’s upgrades still pending, some investors might be exploring faster-growing alternatives.
However, analysts caution against over-interpreting one week’s data. BTC and ETH remain the market leaders, but the inflows into XRP and SOL point to a maturing ETF market and rising investor confidence in altcoins.
