The final week of February is bringing continued pressure to the crypto market, and the latest exchange-traded fund (ETF) flows reflect that trend.
Bitcoin ETFs recorded $315.9 million in outflows over the week, including $303.5 million from BlackRock’s IBIT. Grayscale’s BTC Mini ETF, which offers lower-cost Bitcoin exposure, attracted $36 million during the same period.
According to Farside Investors data, mid-February was difficult for Bitcoin ETFs, with large investors pulling money out for three consecutive days.
The selling began on February 17, when $104.9 million left the market. Most of that outflow came from IBIT, which alone saw $119.7 million in losses. Grayscale’s BTC Mini ETF added $36 million, but overall investors were still exiting.
Outflows increased over the next two days: $133.3 million on February 18 and $165.8 million on February 19. On February 19, BlackRock led the selling again, with $164.1 million leaving IBIT.
At the end of the week, the pattern shifted. On February 20, Bitcoin ETFs returned to net inflows, totaling $88.1 million. IBIT also reversed its trend, contributing $64.5 million in inflows.
Ethereum ETFs followed a similar early-week pattern to Bitcoin but showed less sustained weakness. On February 17, Ethereum ETFs brought in $48.6 million in new inflows, largely driven by BlackRock’s ETHA fund.
That momentum faded quickly. By February 19, Ethereum ETFs saw a large outflow of $130.1 million, with nearly $97 million attributed to BlackRock alone.
On February 20, Ethereum ETFs recorded zero net flows, indicating no net inflows and no net outflows on the day.
Solana stood out as an exception. Solana ETFs have seen steady inflows since February 9. Between February 17 and 20, Solana continued to attract inflows, with the highest point on February 19, when $6 million entered in a single day.
Bitwise led total weekly volume with $11.7 million, while BlackRock’s BSOL fund supported the trend with consistent daily inflows.
In contrast, the Ripple ETF market showed a cautious approach. It started quietly and saw a small drop of $2.21 million on February 18. On February 19, it briefly recovered with $4.05 million in inflows, but activity slowed again by February 20, returning to nearly zero.
Overall, the crypto ETF market is becoming more divided, with Bitcoin and Ethereum facing greater pressure while newer assets such as Solana gain momentum.
This was also reflected in February 17, when T. Rowe Price announced plans for an Active Crypto ETF covering multiple assets beyond Bitcoin and Ethereum, including Litecoin, Solana, and Cardano.
Premium gym chains are entering a “golden era” that is ending or already in decline, as rising operating costs collide with shifting consumer preferences toward more flexible, community-based ways to exercise. Long-term memberships are shrinking, margins are pressured by higher rents and facility expenses, and competition from smaller, more personalized…
