Summary
Bitcoin spot exchange-traded funds posted $65.40 million in net outflows on Monday, with the entire amount concentrated in BlackRock's IBIT fund. The flows reflect a shift from broad-based selling toward more selective portfolio adjustments among institutional investors, according to the report.
Ether ETFs continued to weaken, extending their outflow streak to 10 consecutive sessions and shedding a cumulative $85.40 million over that period. BlackRock's ETHA and Grayscale's Ether Mini Trust accounted for the bulk of the declines. Solana ETFs also experienced ongoing outflows, while NEAR ETFs were a notable exception, attracting inflows during the same window.
Supplemental coverage in the publisher's context describes a broader cooling in U.S. spot crypto ETF demand, with bitcoin ETF outflows accelerating as BTC traded near the $60,000 level. Market participants are watching whether institutional demand can stabilize prices, and the outflow streak is viewed by some analysts as a sign of temporary caution rather than a lasting withdrawal from the asset class.
The report characterizes the current environment as one of ongoing cautiousness in the crypto ETF market, with a near-term inflection likely tied to renewed bitcoin ETF inflows. Mixed sentiment is evident across the sector, with divergent flows across asset-specific products.
