TL;DR
- Crypto exchange-traded funds returned to positive territory with a $166M Bitcoin inflow after several sessions of outflows.
- Ethereum, Solana and XRP products also attracted fresh capital, showing broader demand beyond a single asset.
- The shift reflects renewed institutional participation as investors react to improving liquidity conditions and expectations of clearer U.S. regulatory signals during the first quarter.
The digital-asset ETF market recovered on February 10 as Bitcoin funds captured $166.5 million in net inflows, ending a short period of weakness that had worried traders. The move coincided with steadier prices across major tokens and with a decline in volatility gauges used by professional desks.
BlackRock’s IBIT added $26.5 million and Fidelity’s FBTC drew $56.9 million, while ARK’s ARKB led the day with $68.5 million. Smaller contributions came from Valkyrie and VanEck products. Analysts linked the rebound to bargain hunting after Bitcoin held support near $95,000 and to growing optimism that pension funds will expand allocations during 2025.
Crypto Etfs Snap Multi Day Slide And Restore Momentum
Ethereum ETFs reported $13.8 million in inflows, mostly through Grayscale’s ETH vehicle, which gained $13.3 million. Fidelity’s FETH added $0.5 million and other issuers were flat. Market makers said the pattern suggested careful positioning rather than speculative buying, with institutions waiting for network upgrades expected later this year.
Solana ETFs continued gradual accumulation with $8.4 million in new money. Bitwise’s BSOL represented $7.7 million of that total and Fidelity’s FSOL contributed $0.7 million. Interest in Solana has been supported by rising on-chain activity and by the growth of payment applications that use the network for low-cost transfers.
XRP spot ETFs gathered $3.26 million, led by Grayscale’s GXRP with $2.17 million and Bitwise’s product with $1.10 million. The flows arrived as legal clarity around XRP in the United States improved, encouraging asset managers to treat the token as a standard component of diversified portfolios.
Industry data from CoinShares showed that global digital-asset investment products have attracted more than $4 billion since the start of the year, a pace similar to early 2024 when the first U.S. Bitcoin ETFs launched. Several brokerage platforms in Europe and Latin America reported increased client inquiries after adding crypto funds to traditional retirement accounts.
Risk managers noted that futures basis and options skew have stabilized, reducing hedging costs for large buyers.
