Crypto News: XRP, SOL, ETH, Sui Gain as Bitcoin ETPs Crumble

  • Crypto ETPs shed $508M, Bitcoin ETPs hit hardest at $571M, per CoinShares’ Feb. 24 report.
  • XRP ETPs drew $38M, totaling $819M since Nov. 2024, tied to SEC hopes.
  • BlackRock lost $22M, Grayscale and Fidelity saw $170M and $166M outflows.
  • US outflows reached $560M, Europe gained $46.3M, led by Germany and Switzerland.

Latest crypto news reports saw Bitcoin ETPs bearing the brunt of the sell-off. Altcoin ETPs recorded are attracting new money, according to the latest report from CoinShares published on February 24, 2025.

Bitcoin investment products suffered the most, with $571 million in outflows last week, accounting for the majority of the $508 million total crypto ETP losses.

This trend, exclusive to Bitcoin, underscores investor caution, possibly linked to macroeconomic factors like inflation and monetary policy uncertainty post-inauguration, as per CoinShares’ analysis.

Altcoin Inflows: XRP, SOL, Ether, and Sui Lead the Charge

Solana, Ether, and Sui ETPs saw inflows of $8.9 million, $3.7 million, and $1.5 million, respectively, last week.

In contrast, Bitcoin ETPs suffered $571 million in outflows, driving total crypto ETP losses to $508 million, following $415 million the previous week.

This contrast suggests a growing interest in altcoins, possibly due to perceived growth potential.

XRP ETPs led altcoin gains with $38 million in inflows last week, part of $819 million since November 2024.

This surge is tied to investor hopes that the SEC will resolve its lawsuits with Ripple and approve a spot XRP ETF, per CoinShares’ analysis.

Crypto News: ProShares Shines with $38M Inflows as Crypto ETP Giants Bleed

The past trading week marked a rare event for BlackRock’s iShares ETFs, which saw losses of $22 million, per CoinShares’ issuer flow data.

ProShares, however, saw $38 million in inflows, one of the few major US ETPs to avoid losses.

On the other hand, Grayscale Investments and Fidelity Digital Assets recorded the largest outflows, amounting to $170 million and $166 million, respectively, highlighting divergent strategies among providers.

An unexpected detail is ProShares’ ability to attract $38 million in inflows amidst widespread outflows, suggesting strong investor confidence in their ETP offerings.

This resilience, not often highlighted in broader market narratives, adds a layer of complexity to understanding investor behavior in volatile times.

Regionally, the US led with $560 million in outflows, contrasting with Europe’s $46.3 million in inflows, led by Germany ($30.5 million) and Switzerland ($15.8 million).
