Bitcoin ETF outflows deepen as ether and XRP funds quietly attract inflows

The flows are indicative of a growing split in how investors are positioning across major crypto assets during the latest bout of market volatility. What to know : U.S.-listed spot bitcoin ETFs saw about $272 million in net outflows on Feb. 3, even as bitcoin’s price swung sharply between roughly $73,000 and $76,000. In contrast, spot ether ETFs drew about $14 million in net inflows and XRP-linked products attracted nearly $20 million, signaling investors are rotating within crypto rather than exiting the asset class. The split in flows shows bitcoin’s growing sensitivity to broader macro and tech-market stress, while capital shifts toward crypto assets seen as offering distinct use cases or relative value.
