Crypto ETFs Bleed Again as Bitcoin, Ether, Solana and Hyperliquid Funds Extend Losing Streaks
Digital asset funds had a rough week as markets sold off following Tuesday's midterm elections. Monday's withdrawals pushed the year to date total for the 12 spot bitcoin funds below zero, and they ended Friday with about $914.1 million in net outflows for 2026. Their combined bitcoin holdings slipped 2.3% to $95.9 billion, around 6% of bitcoin's market value. IBIT, the largest, held $60.3 billion in net assets against $65.1 billion in lifetime inflows.

Ether ETF Outflows Reach Six Straight Weeks
Spot ether funds lost $365.3 million last week, their sixth consecutive weekly decline, which has pulled roughly $2.02 billion out since late September. Wednesday was the only day with gains, at $53 million, while Monday’s $139.8 million exit was the largest. BlackRock’s ETHA made up $90.8 million of Friday’s total. The funds are down about $405.6 million this year, and net assets fell 2.9% to $12.84 billion. They have hit eight week losing streaks twice, most recently in early July.

Solana and Hyperliquid ETF Flows
Solana funds shed $26.3 million, mostly on Friday, marking a fifth negative week and $165.4 million leaving over that span. That is the longest streak since their October 2025 launch, and it began right after a record 14 week inflow run ended. Bitwise’s BSOL led Friday’s exits, followed by Grayscale’s GSOL. Net assets fell to $1.31 billion, though the funds are still about $676.2 million positive for the year.
