A new week brought a shift in tone. After several sessions of steady withdrawals, bitcoin ETFs found their footing again, drawing fresh capital and restoring a measure of confidence.
Bitcoin spot ETFs recorded a net inflow of $167.23 million, snapping a three-day outflow streak. The recovery was led decisively by Blackrock’s IBIT, which pulled in $160.81 million, accounting for the bulk of the day’s gains. Fidelity’s FBTC added another $41.70 million, reinforcing the turnaround.
Not all funds shared in the optimism. Grayscale’s GBTC posted an outflow of $25.87 million, while Ark & 21shares’ ARKB saw $9.41 million exit. Even so, the strength of inflows outweighed the redemptions, pushing the market back into positive territory. Trading activity remained solid, with $2.98 billion exchanged, while total net assets stood at $91.71 billion.
Ether ETFs, however, continued to drift in the opposite direction. The sector recorded its fourth consecutive day of outflows, totaling $16.18 million. Blackrock’s ETHA once again led the declines with a $15.68 million withdrawal, followed by Fidelity’s FETH at $1.62 million.
There was one exception. Blackrock’s ETHB maintained its steady inflow streak, adding $1.11 million and continuing to stand apart from the broader trend. Trading volume reached $1.14 billion, with net assets closing at $12.51 billion.

Elsewhere, activity was notably quiet. XRP ETFs saw no trading movement, with assets holding at $1.01 billion. Solana ETFs also recorded zero flows, ending the day with $903.06 million in net assets.
The contrast is clear. Bitcoin is still attracting institutional demand when sentiment stabilizes, while ethereum continues to face persistent selling pressure. Smaller ETF segments remain largely dormant, waiting for stronger catalysts.
In summary, Monday’s session marked a subtle reset. Bitcoin ETFs returned to inflows with conviction, ether extended its losing streak, and both solana and XRP sat the day out. The market appears to be stabilizing, but conviction remains uneven.
