Bitcoin ETFs Add $924.48M as Ether Funds Draw $824.42M
The money kept coming, and this time it spread further across the field.
Bitcoin and ether remained the largest destinations for ETF capital, extending their winning streaks through Thursday. Yet the week’s most striking feature came lower down the crypto market, where solana, XRP and HYPE funds recorded positive flows in every session.
Bitcoin ETFs opened with $337.56 million on Monday and added $314.37 million on Tuesday. Inflows continued at $232.12 million on Wednesday and $242.24 million on Thursday, pushing combined assets above $100 billion for the first time in weeks.
Friday interrupted the run. A $201.81 million withdrawal ended a nine-session inflow streak worth roughly $3 billion and left the weekly total at $924.48 million.
Blackrock’s IBIT dominated with $938.3 million in weekly inflows. Grayscale’s Bitcoin Mini Trust added $81.9 million, Fidelity’s FBTC brought in $62 million and Morgan Stanley’s MSBT gained $25.3 million.
Selling included $85.2 million from ARK 21Shares’ ARKB, $77.6 million from Grayscale’s GBTC and $16 million from Bitwise’s BITB.

Daily inflows rose from $115.57 million on Monday to $179.80 million on Tuesday, $192.35 million on Wednesday and $234.51 million on Thursday. Another $102 million arrived Friday, bringing the weekly haul to $824.42 million.
The macro backdrop remained rate-sensitive. Second-quarter U.S. GDP grew at a 1.5% annualized pace, while July core PCE inflation held at 3.3% from a year earlier. Personal spending increased 0.2% during the month, keeping inflation and Federal Reserve policy firmly in investors’ calculations.
Solana, XRP and HYPE Turn Into Persistent Buyers’ Markets
The growing breadth of altcoin ETF demand was highlighted by the weekly inflows for solana, XRP, and HYPE ETFs.
Solana ETFs attracted $153.87 million, more than five times the previous week’s $28.34 million and its second-biggest weekly inflow since inception. Flows stayed positive through all five sessions, while weekly turnover more than doubled to roughly $699 million. SOL ended near $103.41, about 14% above the prior week’s level.

HYPE delivered an even sharper acceleration. Weekly inflows reached $56.86 million after just $3.89 million in the previous period, with five consecutive positive sessions. Assets finished near $439 million.
That persistence marks a meaningful stage in the altcoin ETF market. Earlier weekly gains often depended on one or two strong sessions. This time, solana, XRP and HYPE attracted fresh capital from Monday through Friday.
Two consecutive weeks above $2 billion in combined crypto ETF inflows have left institutional demand running at one of its strongest stretches of the year. The latest flows also show that investors are increasingly willing to spread those allocations beyond bitcoin and ether.
