Solana, XRP, Ethereum ETFs in Red as Bitcoin ETF Adds $100 Million

On September 2, U.S. investor demand for cryptocurrency ETFs was clearly divided, with Bitcoin drawing in new investment, while Ethereum, XRP, and Solana products all saw daily net outflows.

Surge of spot ETF inflows

The most recent ETF data shows that during the session, Bitcoin spot ETFs saw net inflows of $101.15 million. As a result, their total net assets increased to $97.22 billion, while their cumulative net inflows reached about $54.73 billion. Additionally, daily trading volume for Bitcoin ETFs was approximately $1.73 billion, significantly higher than that of any other category of cryptocurrency ETF.

The picture for the main altcoins was significantly worse. Despite maintaining positive 30-day flows of $1.83 billion, Ethereum ETFs saw daily net outflows of $48.08 million. Their total inflows are still around $13.03 billion, indicating that the most recent withdrawal is not as large as the total amount of capital that has been accumulated over time.

Withdrawals are spiking

Every day, XRP had to deal with an even greater withdrawal. Together, the five XRP ETF products recorded outflows of $57.20 million. Nonetheless, cumulative net inflows are approximately $1.68 billion, and XRP’s 30-day figure is still positive at $165.22 million.

Of the three, Solana had the biggest outflow, losing $6.13 million over the course of the day. Its overall figures are still positive: SOL ETFs have drawn $197.60 million over the past 30 days and roughly $1.34 billion overall.

The divergence indicates that, rather than completely giving up on cryptocurrency ETF exposure, investors are currently viewing Bitcoin as the safer option during a time of uncertainty. Some of this hesitancy is also reflected in price action.

Following its spectacular August surge toward $1.70, XRP is currently trading at $1.36, testing the 200-day moving average at $1.35. If XRP is to avoid the correction continuing toward its 20-day EMA at $1.29, it is crucial to hold onto this level.

As a result, the ETF data shows conflicting results. Although altcoin products are experiencing short-term redemptions, their 30-day flows are still positive. While its biggest rivals moved in the opposite direction, Bitcoin has regained the strongest immediate institutional demand, adding more than $100 million.
