$BTC saw a single-day net outflow of $89.9 million from spot ETFs; $ETH saw 5,076 万, and $SOL saw 925 万. All three moved in the same direction: selling.
The ranking by absolute size broadly follows market capitalization, so $BTC having the largest outflow doesn’t mean it’s the weakest. The real signal is that all three figures are negative—there was no hedging demand from institutional investors in any of the three assets.
ETF flows are one of the few measures of institutional demand for which hard data is available every day, but a single day’s direction doesn’t make a trend. A sustained move in the same direction suggests allocation flows are shifting; a single day is more likely to be rebalancing noise.
The key question is whether these figures remain negative for several days in a row. If they do, support during a rebound will be noticeably thinner; if they’re negative for just one day, there’s no clear sign yet of a shift among institutional investors.
