The selling was broad and relentless, with no fund reporting inflows during the session.<\/p>\n<p>Blackrock\u2019s IBIT absorbed the largest hit, shedding a massive $448.36 million in capital. Ark &amp; 21Shares\u2019 ARKB followed with $109.64 million in outflows, while <a href=\"https:\/\/news.bitcoin.com\/fidelity-leads-233m-bitcoin-etfs-loss-as-solana-funds-add-19m\/\">Fidelity<\/a>\u2019s FBTC lost another $63.42 million.<\/p>\n<p>Additional exits came from Bitwise\u2019s BITB at $9.16 million, Vaneck\u2019s HODL at $7.59 million, Franklin\u2019s EZBC at $6.65 million, and Invesco\u2019s BTCO at $3.82 million.<\/p>\n<p>Despite the sharp withdrawals, trading activity surged.

The category recorded net outflows of $86.31 million as institutional demand continued to weaken.<\/p>\n<p>Blackrock\u2019s ETHA once again led the declines with a $55.40 million exit, while Fidelity\u2019s FETH saw $14.70 million leave the fund. Grayscale\u2019s Ether Mini Trust and ETHE products posted outflows of $10.08 million and $3.96 million, respectively.

Fidelity\u2019s FSOL led the gains with $2.98 million, while smaller inflows were recorded in Bitwise\u2019s BSOL and 21Shares\u2019 TSOL. Those additions were partially offset by a $1.12 million outflow from Vaneck\u2019s VSOL, but the category still closed the day in positive territory.<\/p>\n<p>Trading activity in <a href=\"https:\/\/markets.bitcoin.com\/crypto\/solana?utm_source=bitcoin_news\" class=\"lar_link lar_link_outgoing\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Solana<\/a> ETFs totaled $63.45 million, with net assets ending at $957.12 million.<\/p>\n<p> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.binance.com\/en\/price\/xrp\" class=\"lar_link lar_link_outgoing\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">XRP<\/a> ETFs also remained in positive territory, though only marginally.

Whether Monday\u2019s heavy withdrawals represent panic selling or a temporary reset may depend on how quickly institutional buyers return to the market in the days ahead.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/news.bitcoin.com\/bitcoin-etfs-post-third-biggest-2026-outflow-as-blackrock-loses-448m\/\">Source link <\/a><br \/>\n<br \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>(Originally posted on : Bitcoin News ) Key Takeaways Bitcoin ETFs lost $648.64M, with Blackrock IBIT posting a $448.36M outflow.
