Grayscale\u2019s ETHE shed another $7.50 million. Trading activity totaled $653.41 million, while net assets fell to $17.60 billion.<\/p>\n<p>Zcash ETFs also came under pressure. Grayscale\u2019s ZCSH lost $30.25 million, pushing net assets down to $875.29 million. HYPE ETFs shed $5.03 million through Bitwise\u2019s BHYP, leaving net assets at $482.95 million.<\/p>\n<p>The breadth of the selling suggests investors reduced exposure across several corners of the crypto ETF market rather than concentrating withdrawals in a single asset.<\/p>\n<h2>Solana Weakens Despite Pockets of Demand<\/h2>\n<p>Solana ETFs posted $11.10 million in net outflows on Wednesday. Bitwise\u2019s BSOL lost $8.94 million, while Morgan Stanley\u2019s MSOL and Vaneck\u2019s VSOL shed $3.20 million and $3.17 million, respectively.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/news.bitcoin.com\/bitcoin-etf\/blackrock-leads-66m-bitcoin-etf-inflow-9-day-winning-streak-holds\/\">Some buyers remained active<\/a>.

It was the only major crypto ETF category to finish Wednesday with positive flows.<\/p>\n<p>Despite the day\u2019s reversal, Bloomberg ETF analysts Eric Balchunas and James Seyffart have pointed to the <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/JSeyff\/status\/2105336661748092972?s=20\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">longer-term recovery<\/a> in bitcoin ETF demand.<\/p>\n<p>Balchunas noted that lifetime cumulative flows are approaching their previous high-water mark despite a difficult past 11 months.
