US Crypto ETF Inflows Plunge 80% After Record Week, Streaks Hold
What happened: US spot crypto ETF inflows totaled $64.
What happened: US spot crypto ETF inflows totaled $64.8 million on Monday, a sharp ~80% drop from Friday’s $330.8 million. Breakdown: Bitcoin ETFs took in $31.07 million, Ethereum $17.1 million (with BlackRock’s iShares Ethereum Trust accounting for $15.4 million), Solana $12.7 million, and XRP $3.96 million. Despite the cool-down, all major asset streaks remain intact: BTC (8 sessions), ETH (7), SOL (7), XRP (5). The prior week saw BTC ETFs notch their strongest week of 2026 with $2.4 billion in inflows, flipping year-to-date flows positive.
Why it matters: The dramatic drop in inflows suggests that the surge in ETF demand may be moderating after a period of record-breaking activity. However, the persistence of positive streaks indicates continued institutional interest, especially as traditional finance players like BlackRock lead the charge. The data also highlights the growing role of alternative crypto assets (SOL, XRP) in ETF portfolios, though their flows remain dwarfed by BTC and ETH.
