While Bitcoin and Ethereum funds experienced withdrawals, Solana spot ETFs recorded $10.26 million in net inflows, making them the strongest performers of the week.
Meanwhile, XRP spot ETFs added $2.25 million in fresh inflows, extending institutional exposure to Ripple-related investment products despite broader weakness in the crypto ETF market.
The contrasting flows suggest investors were selectively allocating capital rather than reducing exposure across the entire digital asset sector.

Although Bitcoin experienced significant outflows, demand for Solana and XRP products demonstrates that investors continue to seek opportunities beyond the two largest cryptocurrencies. Market participants will be watching upcoming ETF flow data to determine whether the divergence persists or if capital rotates back into Bitcoin and Ethereum funds.
