Institutional Crypto ETF Inflows Hit $3.2 Billion Across Multiple Assets

Last week saw a significant surge in crypto spot ETF inflows, marking one of the broadest expansions this year. Bitcoin spot ETFs led the charge with $2.39 billion in net inflows, the highest weekly total since October 2025. Ethereum followed with $689.88 million, while Solana (SOL) attracted $188.22 million, XRP $75.59 million, and HYPE $9.25 million. This widespread demand indicates that institutional interest is extending beyond Bitcoin and Ethereum to higher-risk crypto assets.

Bitcoin's price volatility did not deter investors. After rallying to nearly $88,000, BTC pulled back to the mid-$80,000 range due to stronger U.S. economic data and rising Treasury yields. Despite this, Bitcoin spot ETFs recorded five consecutive days of net inflows, totaling $2.39 billion for the week. This consistent buying suggests that institutional investors are increasingly willing to add exposure even during price pullbacks.

Ethereum also saw a reversal in fortune, with ETH spot ETFs recording $690 million in net inflows after the previous week's outflows. ETH's price briefly exceeded $2,800 before retreating. The renewed demand, combined with corporate treasury accumulation, indicates strong structural buying pressure. This dual demand channel is reducing available supply, potentially supporting higher prices.

Solana emerged as the standout performer relative to its asset size, with inflows of $188.22 million representing nearly 10% of its total ETF assets. XRP and HYPE also saw positive flows, albeit at a slower pace. The broadening of institutional demand across multiple crypto assets, despite a challenging macro environment, signals a shift in investment strategy towards higher-risk exposures.
