Crypto exchange-traded funds (ETFs) ended the week on firmer footing as bitcoin and ether both returned to inflows. XRP and solana also closed green, delivering a modest but broad-based recovery across digital asset funds.
Crypto ETFs Snap Back in Broad-Based Green Close
A cautious sense of relief returned to crypto ETFs as the week wrapped up, with buyers stepping back in after consecutive sessions of heavy outflows. The rebound was not explosive. But it was broad.
Bitcoin spot ETFs recorded a $15 million net inflow, driven primarily by Fidelity’s FBTC, which added $11.99 million. Grayscale’s Bitcoin Mini Trust brought in $6.99 million, while Wisdomtree’s BTCW attracted $3.64 million and Vaneck’s HODL added $1.95 million. A $9.36 million outflow from Blackrock’s IBIT trimmed the overall gain but failed to reverse it. Trading activity reached $3.69 billion, with total net assets closing at $87.04 billion, marking a modest recovery from the prior day’s dip.
Ether ETFs followed suit with a $10.26 million net inflow. Grayscale’s Ether Mini Trust led the move, drawing $14.51 million, while Vaneck’s ETHV contributed $3 million and Fidelity’s FETH added $2.04 million. These inflows were partially offset by a $9.28 million outflow from Blackrock’s ETHA. Trading volume totaled $1.10 billion, and net assets ended at $11.72 billion.
XRP ETFs continued their steady performance, posting $4.5 million in net inflows without any recorded outflows. Franklin’s XRPZ attracted $1.79 million, Bitwise’s XRP added $1.09 million, and Canary’s XRPC saw $319,190 in fresh capital. Trading volume came in at $19.69 million, with net assets finishing at $1.01 billion.
Solana ETFs also closed higher, logging a $1.57 million net inflow. Bitwise’s BSOL brought in $1.69 million, while Grayscale’s GSOL added $438,350. These gains were slightly offset by a $554,120 outflow from Vaneck’s VSOL. Trading volume reached $40.99 million, and total net assets ended the session at $729.78 million.
Overall, Friday’s session delivered a synchronized but measured recovery across crypto ETFs. Bitcoin and ether regained their footing, XRP maintained steady momentum, and solana edged higher, signaling that investor appetite, while cautious, remains present beneath the surface.
