Summary
US-listed cryptocurrency exchange-traded funds diverged on October 15, 2026, with XRP, Solana and Ethereum products recording net outflows while Bitcoin funds attracted fresh capital. Bitcoin ETFs gained approximately $5.1 million, reversing the previous session's $261.4 million withdrawal, according to Farside Investors. BlackRock's IBIT attracted $16.8 million, offsetting $7.6 million in withdrawals from Grayscale's Bitcoin Mini Trust and $4.1 million from Invesco Galaxy's BTCO. The prior session's outflow was led by Fidelity's FBTC and BlackRock's IBIT.
Ethereum ETFs experienced the largest withdrawals among the major assets, with US spot Ether funds recording $60.3 million in net outflows on October 15 after $129.5 million the previous day. BlackRock's iShares Ethereum Trust (ETHA) led the decline with $44.4 million, while Grayscale's ETHE lost $18.3 million. Fidelity's FETH partially offset the losses with $2.4 million in inflows. Together, Ethereum ETFs have shed approximately $189.8 million over two sessions, though cumulative net inflows since launch remain positive at roughly $13 billion.
Solana ETFs faced more sustained selling, losing $9.8 million on October 15, including $6 million from Grayscale's GSOL and $3.8 million from Bitwise's BSOL. The decline followed a $24.8 million weekly withdrawal that ended a 14-week inflow streak.
XRP products saw approximately $1 million in net withdrawals on October 15 according to CryptoETF Today's tracker. Bitwise's XRP ETF accounted for $3.7 million in redemptions, partly offset by $2.7 million into Franklin Templeton's XRPZ. Other flow trackers report smaller withdrawals, reflecting differences in fund coverage and flow calculation methods. The five funds CryptoETF Today monitors have attracted approximately $1.81 billion in cumulative net inflows since launch.
Over the broader week of October 12-15, Bitcoin ETFs lost approximately $146 million and Ethereum funds shed around $250 million, so the single-day Bitcoin inflow does not signal a reversal. The source notes there is no direct evidence that capital leaving XRP, Ethereum or Solana funds moved into Bitcoin ETFs.
