BTC spot ETFs recorded $104.87M in net outflows.
ETH and SOL spot ETFs saw positive inflows.
XRP ETFs remained flat with no net movement.
The latest ETF Flows data from February 17 shows a clear shift in investor behavior across major crypto spot ETFs. While Bitcoin saw heavy withdrawals, Ethereum and Solana managed to attract fresh capital.
Bitcoin spot ETFs posted net outflows of $104.87 million, signaling cautious sentiment among institutional investors. In contrast, Ethereum spot ETFs brought in $48.63 million, reflecting renewed confidence in ETH exposure. Solana also saw positive activity, adding $2.19 million in net inflows. Meanwhile, XRP-related ETFs recorded no net change for the day.
This divergence suggests investors may be repositioning rather than exiting the crypto ETF market entirely.
Ethereum and Solana Gain Momentum
The positive ETF Flows into Ethereum could indicate growing interest ahead of potential network upgrades and broader adoption of ETH-based applications. Investors often use ETF products as a safer and regulated way to gain exposure without holding the underlying assets directly.
Solana’s modest but positive inflow also reflects continued interest in alternative Layer-1 networks. While the amount is smaller compared to Ethereum, it still signals selective accumulation.
These inflows may suggest that institutions are diversifying their crypto holdings instead of concentrating solely on Bitcoin.

Bitcoin Faces Short-Term Pressure
Bitcoin’s negative ETF Flows stand out, with over $100 million exiting spot ETFs in a single day. Such outflows can reflect profit-taking, risk-off sentiment, or broader portfolio adjustments.
However, a single day of outflows does not necessarily indicate a long-term trend. ETF movements often fluctuate based on macroeconomic signals, interest rate expectations, and short-term market positioning.
Overall, February 17 paints a picture of capital rotation rather than market panic. Investors appear to be adjusting exposure within crypto ETFs rather than pulling out entirely.
