    Bitcoin, Ether ETF Outflows Deepen as SOL Inflows Surge Amid Macro Jitters

    KryptonewsBy No Comments2 Mins Read

    Spot Bitcoin and Ether exchange-traded funds (ETFs) continued to bleed capital on Tuesday, with both assets seeing their fifth straight day of outflows. In contrast, Solana funds extended their inflow streak to six days.

    According to data from Farside Investors, spot Bitcoin (BTC) ETFs saw $578 million in net outflows on Tuesday, the steepest single-day decline since mid-October. BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) and Fidelity’s FBTC led withdrawals.

    Spot Ether (ETH) ETFs faced similar selling pressure, registering $219 million in net redemptions. Fidelity’s FETH and BlackRock’s ETHA products bore the brunt, extending a five-day trend that has wiped nearly $1 billion in capital from Ether-linked ETFs since late October.

    Spot Solana (SOL) ETFs defied the market gloom, posting $14.83 million in net inflows, their sixth consecutive day of gains. Bitwise’s BSOL and Grayscale’s GSOL each added to the positive flow, as institutional traders continue rotating capital into the newer, yield-bearing product.

    Institutions trim risk as macro jitters rise

    Vincent Liu, chief investment officer at Kronos Research, told Cointelegraph that the pattern reflects growing macro unease rather than waning confidence in digital assets.

    “Straight days of redemptions show institutions are trimming risk as leverage unwinds and macro jitters rise,” Liu said. “Until liquidity conditions stabilize, capital rotation will keep the ETF bleed alive.”

    He added that the outflows stem from a broader risk-off environment driven by a strengthening US dollar and tightening liquidity, not from fading conviction in crypto.

    Solana’s rise is fresh flow, fresh story: Liu

    Liu also claimed that Solana’s strength is “partly fresh flow meets fresh story, a new ETF with yield appeal pulling in curious capital.” He noted that while others bleed amid macro chaos, Solana’s “speed, staking, and story keep momentum tilted upward.”
