Bitcoin ETFs Bleed $799M While Altcoins Attract Capital
The crypto market is showing signs of shifting investor sentiment as Bitcoin ETFs faced a massive $799 million in outflows, according to the latest fund flow data. Meanwhile, Ethereum ($ ETH ) saw a modest $16.1 million in inflows, and Solana ($SOL) stole the spotlight with $199 million in new capital, the highest among altcoins.
This divergence suggests that investors are beginning to rotate funds away from Bitcoin in search of higher upside potential in alternative Layer 1 ecosystems.
Why Is Bitcoin Seeing Outflows?
Bitcoin’s recent price stagnation and profit-taking by large institutions may be driving the outflows. After months of bullish momentum and a prolonged stay above $100K, some traders are likely rebalancing or locking in gains.
Other contributing factors include:
- ETF fatigue as initial hype cools off
- Rising interest in altcoins with higher short-term growth potential
- Regulatory uncertainty still looming over Bitcoin in some markets
Despite these outflows, Bitcoin remains the dominant crypto asset, but investor appetite may be temporarily shifting toward more agile and undervalued networks.
Solana and Ethereum Gaining Ground
The biggest winner this week is clearly Solana, with $199M in inflows — a sign that institutional and retail investors are viewing it as a high-potential asset. Strong developer activity, growing DeFi presence, and lower transaction fees have made SOL a top pick in this market rotation.
Ethereum, the long-standing #2 crypto, continues to show resilience. While its inflows were smaller at $16.1M, the steady interest reflects confidence in its ecosystem, especially with Ethereum’s Layer 2 scaling and staking narratives strengthening.
