U.S. crypto exchange-traded funds opened the week under continued selling pressure, with Bitcoin and Ether funds both recording net outflows on Monday.
Bitcoin ETFs lost $65.40 million on Monday, with the entire withdrawal coming from Blackrock's IBIT fund. All other Bitcoin ETF providers recorded flat flows. Trading activity reached $1.23 billion, while net assets closed at $106.06 billion.
The concentration of selling in a single fund marks a shift from last week's pattern. The previous week saw $681 million in Bitcoin ETF outflows spread across multiple major issuers, led by Fidelity and Ark & 21Shares. The narrower selling this week suggests a move from broad de-risking toward more selective portfolio adjustments.
Ether ETFs Extend Losing Streak
Ether ETFs lost another $85.40 million, extending their outflow streak to 10 consecutive trading days. Blackrock's ETHA accounted for $75.07 million of the decline, while Grayscale's Ether Mini Trust shed $10.33 million.
Ether ETFs lost roughly $542 million last week, marking their heaviest weekly withdrawal since January. With Monday showing no sign of reversal, Ether has become the clearest example of sustained institutional de-risking across the current crypto ETF market. Net assets in Ether ETFs ended at $15.86 billion, with trading activity totaling $634 million.
Other Digital Assets Under Pressure
Solana ETFs posted their sixth consecutive session of outflows, declining by $699,830 through Vaneck's VSOL. This followed the end of Solana's 14-week inflow streak last week. Net assets fell to $1.72 billion.
HYPE ETFs lost $2.35 million through Bitwise's BHYP, while Zcash ETFs shed $1.66 million from Grayscale's ZCSH. XRP ETFs recorded no net flows.
NEAR as Outlier
NEAR stood apart from broader market trends, with Bitwise's NRR fund attracting another $3.98 million, lifting net assets to $81.67 million. The fund has continued drawing capital through multiple sessions when larger crypto ETF categories recorded outflows.
Monday's data indicates a market still processing last week's de-risking cycle. Institutional positioning remains defensive and increasingly concentrated in the largest, most liquid ETF vehicles.
