While <span>bitcoin<\/span> and ether faced aggressive institutional selling, smaller ecosystem-focused products quietly attracted fresh demand.<\/p>\n<p>Spot <span>bitcoin ETFs<\/span> recorded net outflows of $1.26 billion for the week, making it one of the weakest weekly performances of 2026. The overwhelming share of the selling pressure came from Blackrock\u2019s IBIT, which alone lost $1.01 billion over the five days.<\/p>\n<p>Fidelity\u2019s FBTC followed with $111.5 million in outflows, while Ark &amp; 21Shares\u2019 ARKB shed another $106.8 million. Additional withdrawals came from Bitwise\u2019s BITB, Vaneck\u2019s HODL, Franklin\u2019s EZBC, Valkyrie\u2019s BRRR, and Invesco\u2019s BTCO.<\/p>\n<p>Morgan Stanley\u2019s MSBT stood out as the lone bright spot, attracting a modest $1.1 million inflow during an otherwise difficult week for <span>bitcoin<\/span> products.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_816993\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-816993\" style=\"width:842px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/static.news.bitcoin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/bitcoin-etfs-lose-1-26b-as-xrp-and-hype-funds-attract-fresh-inflows_nwmk.png?X-Amz-Content-Sha256=UNSIGNED-PAYLOAD&amp;X-Amz-Algorithm=AWS4-HMAC-SHA256&amp;X-Amz-Credential=AKIARQKIT2TMGZBKV2L6%2F20260525%2Fus-east-1%2Fs3%2Faws4_request&amp;X-Amz-Date=20260525T122225Z&amp;X-Amz-SignedHeaders=host&amp;X-Amz-Expires=600&amp;X-Amz-Signature=92707b22f6052f84e62f6ae30d68a13ab8be5c2e2b2230f599e3637191e2b3fe\"><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-816993\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Mixed May for <span>bitcoin ETFs<\/span> with $776.6 million in inflows and $2.26 billion in outflows.

Trading activity remained elevated throughout the week at $9.27 billion, indicating that investors were actively repositioning rather than abandoning the market altogether.<\/p>\n<p>Spot ether ETFs also endured sustained pressure, recording $216 million in net outflows. The category extended a prolonged losing streak as institutional investors continued pulling back exposure from ethereum-linked products.<\/p>\n<p>Blackrock\u2019s ETHA consistently led the declines during the week, while Fidelity\u2019s FETH and Grayscale\u2019s ether products also recorded notable withdrawals. Blackrock\u2019s ETHB occasionally attracted inflows and acted as a limited stabilizer, but it was not enough to reverse the broader trend.<\/p>\n<p>Away from <span>bitcoin<\/span> and ether, the tone shifted considerably.<\/p>\n<p>Spot <span>XRP<\/span> ETFs attracted $22 million in net inflows during the week, continuing a steady run of institutional interest. Products from Canary, Franklin, and Bitwise all contributed to the gains as investors maintained exposure to XRP-linked funds despite the broader market weakness.<\/p>\n<p>The flows suggest growing confidence around <span>XRP<\/span>\u2019s longer-term utility narrative, particularly as optimism surrounding regulatory clarity continues to build.<\/p>\n<p> <span>Solana<\/span> ETFs also remained in positive territory, recording $15.6 million in net inflows for the week. Fidelity\u2019s FSOL and Bitwise\u2019s BSOL led most of the gains, while periodic inflows into Vaneck and 21Shares products reinforced continued investor interest in the <span>solana<\/span> ecosystem.<\/p>\n<p>Perhaps the strongest relative performance came from HYPE ETFs, which brought in a notable $72.4 million in net inflows during the week.
