U.S. spot ether ETFs recorded $542.1 million in net outflows last week, their worst result since January, while spot Solana ETFs lost $24.8 million and ended a record 14-week inflow streak. Ether funds have now posted redemptions for nine consecutive trading days, totaling $697.2 million. Bitcoin ETFs added another $681.1 million in outflows, taking combined losses across the three categories to about $1.25 billion.
Why it matters
The selling was concentrated in the largest products. BlackRock's ETHA lost $477 million during the week, about 88% of ether ETF outflows, while Grayscale's ETHE shed $31.9 million. ETHA recorded outflows in all five sessions, including $201.9 million on Tuesday, the fund's largest single-day redemption since Jan. 21. The move came as ETHA's 1-for-3 reverse share split took effect.
Ether ETF net assets fell 10% to $15.71 billion. Cumulative net inflows since launch remain positive at $13.26 billion, and the funds still hold $931.8 million in net inflows for 2026, but that figure dropped from $1.47 billion a week earlier. The nine-day outflow run now ranks as the third-longest in the products' history, behind a 17-day streak and a separate 14-day period.
Market impact
Solana funds recorded outflows in every session, their longest daily losing streak on record. Bitwise's BSOL accounted for $20.9 million of the category's $24.8 million weekly outflow, while the total was roughly three times the previous weekly record. Solana fund net assets fell to $1.73 billion from $1.90 billion.
Bitcoin ETFs also ended a three-week inflow streak. Their $681.1 million weekly outflow was the worst since late June, although Friday brought $21.1 million of inflows. ETH traded near $2,506, SOL near $110.50 and BTC near $82,900, leaving ETF flows as a key measure of whether institutional demand can recover.
