Bitcoin ETFs Reclaim Momentum With $167M Surge While Altcoin Funds Bleed for Third Straight Day

Investors returned to Bitcoin-backed ETFs on Monday, even as funds tracking Ether, XRP, and Solana continued hemorrhaging capital amid cautious market sentiment.

US spot Bitcoin ETFs staged a notable recovery on Monday, pulling in $167 million in net inflows after back-to-back sessions of heavy selling. The reversal came as Bitcoin climbed back toward the $70,000 level, reigniting short-term confidence among institutional participants.

The turnaround followed roughly $577 million in combined outflows on Thursday and Friday, according to SoSoValue data, marking the sharpest two-day retreat for Bitcoin ETFs in weeks. The recovery appears tied, in part, to easing macroeconomic anxiety after US President Donald Trump signaled that hostilities involving Iran could be nearing a resolution, cooling oil prices and lifting broader risk appetite.

Despite the crypto market posting modest gains with ETH, XRP, and SOL each rising 3–5% over 24 hours, altcoin-focused ETFs failed to attract fresh capital. Ether funds shed $51 million, XRP products lost $18 million, and Solana vehicles posted $2.5 million in outflows on the same day. This extended a three-day outflow streak, with Ether bearing the heaviest cumulative losses at approximately $225 million since Thursday.
