I’ve been keeping an eye on ETF capital flows lately and noticed some interesting trends.
On the BTC side, the bleeding has finally stopped—there was a period of consistent outflows, but now small amounts of money are starting to move back in. ETH, on the other hand, isn’t doing so well. After seeing some inflows for a few days, there’s now a large-scale exodus again. BlackRock’s recent moves are telling—they’re cutting their ETH holdings, but their BTC positions remain untouched. It seems big institutions still want to stabilize the BTC market first so that overall sentiment doesn’t collapse.
I also took a look at the altcoin ETFs. SOL’s ETF is indeed the largest, but when it comes to the fastest outflows, XRP takes the lead. I’d already sensed that Wall Street was more interested in Ripple than SOL, and now the data confirms it. HBAR and LTC are seeing money come in at a sluggish pace, and as for DOGE... it’s at the bottom in terms of inflows. Clearly, traditional institutions still aren’t very interested in Meme coins.

BlackRock's moves this time are truly impressive—propping up BTC, reducing ETH holdings, they’ve seen through everything.
Why is XRP so strong? Did Wall Street really bet on it?
ETH’s behavior is like this—comes in and leaves right away, so frustrating.
Institutions aren’t interested in DOGE, that puts my mind at ease, haha.
SOL is big in scale, but still can’t outperform XRP. These numbers are a bit embarrassing.

ETH is really being crushed by institutions; BlackRock's move this time hits right where it hurts.

BlackRock is playing this game well: keeping BTC stable while treating ETH as a pawn to be sacrificed. Institutions really are this pragmatic.

BlackRock is reducing its holdings in ETH but holding on tightly to BTC. I see through this strategy—they're just afraid of a panic chain reaction among retail investors. Wall Street's plan for XRP this time is deeper than we thought.

BlackRock’s tactics are really ruthless. BTC staying absolutely steady is giving the market confidence, and the way ETH is pulling out is also unprecedented.
XRP saw the fastest outflow of funds, which was unexpected. Looks like Wall Street really buys into this strategy.
DOGE is still at the bottom, haha. Nobody is really paying attention to meme coins.
With ETH’s current trend, you really need to think carefully about whether to cut your losses or not.
The institutions have already figured things out. We have to keep up with the pace.

Institutions are dumping ETH, now it makes sense...
