Bitcoin’s Fourth Outflow Day: A Masterclass in Financial Drama 🎭💸

by

Ah, Bitcoin ETFs, those darling darlings of modern finance, have now bled $189 million over four days, while ether ETFs returned to their red-letter days. XRP and Solana, ever the understudies, siphoned in modest sums, proving investors have a taste for selective indulgence. 🤷♂️

Ether Turns Red Again as Bitcoin ETFs Sink Further

Risk appetite, once a roaring fire, has dwindled to a smoldering cigarette. Investors, like guests at a dinner party who’ve lost faith in the host, are fleeing Bitcoin and ether ETFs, opting instead for the quieter charm of XRP and Solana. 🏃♂️💨

Bitcoin spot ETFs, led by Blackrock’s IBIT (a titan in name, a weenie in performance), shed $157 million alone. Fidelity’s FBTC and Grayscale’s GBTC followed suit, their outflows resembling a Victorian mourning procession. Bitwise’s BITB, the smallest of the lot, added a mere $5.72 million to the exodus. Total assets? Unchanged. Progress, perhaps? Or a tragic farce? 🎭

Ether ETFs, after a fleeting moment of hope, have returned to their red hues. Grayscale’s ETHE, the market’s least surprising disaster, lost $50 million. Blackrock’s ETHA, not to be outdone, added $25 million to the chaos. One must commend the investors’ ability to turn a profit into a funeral. 🕯️

XRP ETFs, ever the stoic, added $8.19 million, led by Franklin’s XRPZ. Trading volume? A paltry $12.41 million. Investors, it seems, are content to sip tea while others drown. 🍵

Solana ETFs, the golden child of 2025, inched closer to $1 billion, buoyed by Bitwise’s BSOL and Grayscale’s GSOL. A $4.20 million inflow-modest, yes, but a triumph over the dreary winter of capital flight. ❄️

As the world dons Christmas hats, Bitcoin and ether ETFs face a bleak yuletide. Meanwhile, XRP and Solana, the holiday’s unexpected heroes, may yet finish the year with a sprig of mistletoe on their ETFs. 🎄
