Fidelity\u2019s FBTC lost $52.72 million, while Grayscale\u2019s GBTC shed another $18.22 million. Morgan Stanley\u2019s MSBT provided the lone inflow at $3.47 million.<\/p>\n<p>Bitcoin ETF trading value reached $2.81 billion, while net assets fell to $95.19 billion.

Fidelity\u2019s FETH lost $55.58 million, while Blackrock\u2019s staking-focused ETHB shed $19.76 million. Vaneck\u2019s ETHV recorded a $14.03 million exit. Grayscale\u2019s ETHE and 21Shares\u2019 TETH lost $13.93 million and $10.78 million, respectively.<\/p>\n<p>No ether fund reported an inflow. Trading value reached $1.20 billion, with net assets declining to $15.16 billion. The retreat followed Tuesday\u2019s $141.47 million outflow, putting ether ETFs under sustained pressure after several weeks of resilient institutional demand.<\/p>\n<h2>XRP, HYPE and Solana Find Buyers<\/h2>\n<p>Smaller crypto ETF categories showed greater resilience.<\/p>\n<p>XRP ETFs attracted $3.50 million, entirely through Franklin\u2019s XRPZ. Daily trading value totaled $37.30 million, while net assets closed at $1.40 billion. The inflow provided a modest positive signal for investors tracking XRP\u2019s price correlation with daily ETF flows.<\/p>\n<p>HYPE ETFs added $1.67 million through Grayscale\u2019s HYPG. Net assets finished at $417.20 million. Solana ETFs edged higher by $836,930. Bitwise\u2019s BSOL attracted $2.69 million, offset by a $1.85 million withdrawal from Grayscale\u2019s GSOL. Net assets closed at $1.38 billion.<\/p>\n<h2>Fed Opens a New Chapter for Risk Assets<\/h2>\n<p>The day\u2019s defining macro event came from Washington.<\/p>\n<p>The Federal Reserve unanimously raised its benchmark rate by 25 basis points to a range of 3.75% to 4%, its first increase since July 2023. Officials said inflation remained elevated and reiterated their commitment to returning it to the 2% target.<\/p>\n<p>The accompanying projections carried an equally important signal. 16 of 18 policymakers expected at least one additional quarter-point increase before year-end, while the median projection placed the federal funds rate at 4.1% at the end of 2026.<\/p>\n<p>For bitcoin and the wider crypto market, that outlook keeps borrowing costs and liquidity firmly in focus. Wednesday\u2019s ETF data showed how quickly institutional positioning can respond when expectations for prolonged monetary restraint move higher.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/news.bitcoin.com\/bitcoin-etf\/bitcoin-ether-etfs-lose-520m-as-xrp-bucks-fed-rate-hike-selloff\/\">Source link <\/a><br \/>\n<br \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>(Originally posted on : Bitcoin News ) Key Takeaways Bitcoin and ether ETFs lost $520.09M on Wednesday after the Fed\u2019s first rate hike since 2023.
