Bitcoin ETFs Record $254.4M in Net Inflows
Bitcoin ETFs extended their positive run with $254.4 million in net inflows on February 26. BlackRock’s IBIT attracted $275.8 million in fresh capital during the session. However, Fidelity’s FBTC posted $51.5 million in outflows, while ARK’s ARKB shed $44.9 million.
Despite those redemptions, total flows remained firmly positive for the day. The result followed the previous session’s $506.6 million surge across spot Bitcoin funds. Issuer data showed that IBIT dominated activity and captured most new allocations.
Market records confirmed that larger products absorbed the bulk of capital. In contrast, smaller issuers recorded limited activity during the session. Flow concentration remained clear as IBIT outpaced competing funds by a wide margin.
Trading data reflected continued participation across major exchanges. However, aggregate inflows declined from the prior day’s higher level. Still, Bitcoin ETFs maintained positive momentum for another consecutive session.
Ethereum and XRP ETFs Post Mixed but Positive Activity
Ethereum ETFs posted net inflows totaling $6.6 million on February 26. BlackRock’s ETHA added $15.3 million in new capital during the day. Meanwhile, Fidelity’s FETH recorded $19.2 million in outflows, which offset part of the gains.
Other Ethereum issuers reported muted flow data across their products. As a result, total net inflows remained modest compared to Bitcoin funds. Trading desks reported steady but limited allocation into Ethereum ETFs.
Solana ETF products brought in $0.5 million in inflows during the same session. The figure trailed Bitcoin and Ethereum totals by a wide margin. Issuer disclosures showed limited participation in Solana-linked products.
Spot XRP ETFs also attracted net inflows during the session. Total inflows reached 848,590 XRP across reporting issuers. Canary’s XRPG added 520,270 XRP, while Bitwise’s XRP ETF gained 328,320 XRP.
Other XRP issuers reported flat flow data for the day. Dollar values for XRP products remained lower than Bitcoin allocations. However, flow reports confirmed continued demand for XRP-based funds on February 26.
Exchange data closed with Bitcoin ETFs leading total digital asset ETF inflows. Ethereum funds followed with smaller gains, while Solana products recorded limited additions. XRP ETFs ended the session with positive token inflows across two issuers.
