Bitcoin ETF attracts $562 million in a single day, XRP spot ETF shifts to net outflows, are investor preferences changing?

American cryptocurrency spot ETF capital flows show a clear divergence. Data indicates that on that day, the total net inflow of Bitcoin spot ETFs was approximately $562 million, maintaining strong appeal despite the overall market weakness. Among them, Fidelity’s products led with about $153 million in single-day inflows, demonstrating that institutional investors’ willingness to allocate to BTC remains solid. Bitcoin prices stayed around $78,000, providing a stable anchor for continued capital inflows.

In contrast, Ethereum spot ETFs experienced a slight net outflow on that day, amounting to about $2.86 million, reflecting some short-term caution among investors regarding ETH. Even more notably, XRP spot ETFs also saw net outflows, totaling approximately $400,000. Although the scale is small, it stands out among mainstream ETFs. 21Shares’ XRP product saw a single-day outflow of about $950,000, while Bitwise-related products experienced a slight inflow of about $540,000, with other products remaining relatively flat.

Despite the capital outflows, the overall asset size of XRP spot ETFs still exceeds $1.1 billion, accounting for about 1.1% of the total market cap of that asset class. The daily trading volume was around $40 million, indicating that market activity has not significantly declined. This “stable volume but negative capital flow” structure reflects investor disagreement: some are cautiously reducing their positions, while others maintain neutral allocations.

In comparison, Solana-related spot ETFs saw a net inflow of about $5.58 million on that day, making it one of the few products maintaining positive capital flow. Some institutions view it as a potential leader in DeFi and blockchain gaming sectors, reallocating some positions from other assets.

Overall, ETF capital is showing a clear safety preference. Bitcoin continues to serve as the “core asset,” becoming the first choice before risk appetite rebounds; Solana attracts growth-oriented funds; while XRP remains in a wait-and-see zone, awaiting more convincing catalysts. In the short term, this structure is likely to continue dominating the flow of funds in the crypto market.
