The latest round of inflows in US-based Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) was interrupted by fresh outflows as the price of BTC fell below $71,000 on Thursday.
Spot Bitcoin (BTC) ETFs saw $228 million in net outflows on Thursday, ending a three-day run of nearly $1.1 billion, according to data from SoSoValue.
While weekly inflows remained flat at $917.3 million in Friday’s session, net outflows rose to $900 million for the year. The total import in 2026 so far is $3.58 billion, while the total output is $4.49 billion.
Assets under management remained above $90 billion after the cap was reset earlier this week.
According to Farside, BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust ETF (IBIT) led the way with $89 million, followed by Wise Origin Bitcoin Fund (FBTC) with $48 million and Bitwise Bitcoin ETF (BITB) with $46 million.
The slide in Bitcoin ETFs came as analysts pointed to BTC’s mild rally facing headwinds in an ongoing bear market.

According to CryptoQuant, Bitcoin’s rally above $73,000 was “probably just a relief rally” rather than the start of a new bull phase. The observation is consistent with previous analyst predictions that BTC could fall below $60,000 amid the ongoing crypto winter.
Solana ETFs are strong despite a 57% price drop since inception
Negative sentiment hit altcoin ETFs, and Ether (ETH) funds moved $91 million out. XRP (XRP) and Solana (SOL) also removed $6 million and $5 million, respectively.
Notably, outflows for the Solana ETF marked the first loss since early February, while inflows have totaled nearly $200 million year-to-date. In comparison, XRP saw $86 million in revenue.
Solana’s ETFs have amassed $1.5 billion in cumulative inflows since the spot ETFs launched, despite a 57% drop in SOL prices, Bloomberg ETF analyst Erik Balchunas said in a note on X.
“However, they were able to not only collect $1.5 billion of the flow, but not really give it up,” Balchunas said, adding that many institutions increased their exposure to Solana in the fourth quarter of 2025. “Both are really good signs for the future,” he added.
