Bitcoin ETFs See Inflows as Ethereum and XRP ETF Streaks End
On Wednesday, Bitcoin ETFs saw a rebound with $101.15 million in inflows following a significant outflow the previous day. This marked a reversal for Bitcoin funds after Tuesday's record outflow of $236.5 million. In contrast, Ethereum and XRP ETFs ended their winning streaks, recording net outflows on Wednesday. Ethereum ETFs had seen 12 consecutive days of inflows totaling $1.62 billion before the recent pullback, with BlackRock’s ETHA leading the exodus by losing $53.4 million. XRP ETFs also ended their 11-day streak that brought in about $170 million, as Bitwise's XRP fund saw a $7.2 million outflow. Meanwhile, Bitcoin ETF inflows were led by BlackRock’s IBIT with $115.45 million, despite Grayscale’s GBTC still losing money. The broader crypto ETF market has been volatile in recent months, with Bitcoin ETFs seeing record inflows of $3.52 billion in August 2026. The shift appears to reflect capital consolidation into Bitcoin rather than a broad cooling trend across digital assets. Ethereum and XRP had both reached the end of their longest inflow streaks, making a pause for profit-taking likely. The market is also watching closely as the Federal Reserve prepares its rate decision in mid-September.
