Risk appetite cooled across much of the crypto exchange-traded fund (ETF) market on Wed, Feb. 18, with capital flowing out of both bitcoin and ether products. Solana stood out as one of the few bright spots.

Spot bitcoin ETFs logged $133.27 million in net outflows. The selling was concentrated in two major products. Blackrock’s IBIT led the decline with $84.19 million in redemptions, followed by Fidelity’s FBTC, which saw $49.07 million exit the fund. No meaningful inflows elsewhere offset the pressure. Total trading volume reached $2.76 billion, while aggregate net assets across bitcoin ETFs fell to $83.63 billion.

Four days of outflows for bitcoin ETFs over the past five trading days.

Ether ETFs also faced headwinds. The segment posted $41.83 million in net outflows, spread across several issuers. Blackrock’s ETHA recorded $29.93 million in withdrawals, Fidelity’s FETH lost $8.23 million, and Invesco’s QETH saw $3.67 million in outflows. Trading activity remained relatively firm at $892.43 million, with total net assets ending the session at $11.12 billion.

XRP ETFs joined the broader pullback. The category saw $2.21 million in net outflows, primarily from Grayscale’s GXRP. Total value traded came in at $9.23 million, and net assets closed at $1.02 billion.

In contrast, solana ETFs attracted fresh capital. The group posted $2.4 million in inflows, led by Bitwise’s BSOL with $1.51 million. Fidelity’s FSOL added $476,410, while Invesco’s QSOL brought in $407,830. Trading volume totaled $20.26 million, and net assets finished at $697.13 million.

Taken together, Wednesday’s flows reflected a defensive tilt. Investors reduced exposure to bitcoin and ether products, trimmed XRP positions, and selectively added to solana. While volumes remained active, the overall direction pointed to caution rather than aggressive positioning.

• Why did bitcoin ETFs record $133 million in outflows?
  The redemptions were concentrated in Blackrock’s IBIT and Fidelity’s FBTC, signaling institutional repositioning or short-term risk reduction rather than broad-based exits across all issuers.

  Ether ETFs also saw notable outflows totaling $41.83 million, with withdrawals spread across Blackrock, Fidelity, and Invesco products, reflecting similar cautious sentiment.

  Solana ETFs were the only major segment to post net inflows, attracting $2.4 million across Bitwise, Fidelity, and Invesco funds.
• What were the total assets under management after the session?
  Bitcoin ETFs ended with $83.63 billion in net assets, ether ETFs with $11.12 billion, XRP ETFs with $1.02 billion, and solana ETFs with $697.13 million.
