Fidelity\u2019s FBTC added $12.86 million, while Morgan Stanley\u2019s MSBT brought in $10.16 million. Franklin\u2019s EZBC gained $4.88 million, and Bitwise\u2019s BITB added $4.13 million. Wisdomtree\u2019s BTCW recorded the only outflow at $4.02 million.<\/p>\n<p>Daily trading volume reached $2.27 billion, while net assets closed at $108.92 billion. The persistent buying keeps attention firmly on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bitcoin.com\/price\/bitcoin\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">bitcoin\u2019s price<\/a>, which has benefited from a renewed wave of institutional demand across the crypto market.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_850596\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-850596\" style=\"width:842px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-850596\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Six days of inflows for bitcoin ETFs worth $2.84 billion. Source: Sosovalue<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2>Ether Stretches Its Winning Run<\/h2>\n<p>Ether ETFs also stayed firmly in the green, posting $66.01 million in net inflows and marking a fifth consecutive positive session for the group.<\/p>\n<p>Blackrock\u2019s ETHA led with $26.81 million, followed by Fidelity\u2019s FETH with $21.45 million. Grayscale\u2019s Ether Mini Trust added another $17.75 million. Trading activity reached $771.91 million, while net assets closed at $17.70 billion.<\/p>\n<p>The steady pace of inflows suggests ether continues to participate in the latest institutional rebound, even as bitcoin remains the <a href=\"https:\/\/news.bitcoin.com\/bitcoin-etf\/bitcoin-etfs-erase-2026-outflows-with-4-6-billion-rebound\/\">dominant destination for capital<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2>Solana and XRP Keep Pace<\/h2>\n<p>Solana ETFs delivered one of the stronger altcoin readings of the day, attracting $32.81 million. Bitwise\u2019s BSOL accounted for $27.97 million, while Fidelity\u2019s FSOL added $4.84 million. Trading value reached $115.97 million, with net assets ending at $1.81 billion.<\/p>\n<p>XRP ETFs brought in another $14.89 million.

Net assets closed at $513.66 million.<\/p>\n<p>ZEC ETFs recorded no net flows for a second straight day, although combined assets reached the $1 billion mark.<\/p>\n<h2>Derivatives Market Flashes Caution<\/h2>\n<p>ETF flows have strengthened sharply this week, though derivatives markets are sending a more guarded signal.<\/p>\n<p>Brian Huang, co-founder and CEO of Glider, noted that bitcoin\u2019s open interest has returned to levels last seen in May. Hyperliquid alone has surpassed $3 billion in BTC open interest during the latest move.<\/p>\n<p>Huang also pointed to the basis turning negative, commenting:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align:left\">When the basis flips while open interest increases, it means shorts are adding to their positions. So overall, while ETF inflows spiked this week, traders are betting the move up will be short-lived.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>That creates an unusual backdrop for bitcoin. <a href=\"https:\/\/news.bitcoin.com\/market-updates\/bitcoin-etfs-add-347m-as-blackrock-fidelity-lead-buying\/\">ETF demand remains strong<\/a>, while parts of the derivatives market are positioning for a possible pullback.<\/p>\n<p>For now, institutional buying continues to set the tone.
