ETF Flows Recap

Spot crypto ETFs recorded -$5.7M ↓ in aggregate net outflows during Tuesday's settled session, according to InflowScan data. Wednesday's issuer reports have not yet published; the figures below represent the most recent complete tape.

The headline number masks a narrow dispersion. Bitwise's BITB absorbed the day's largest redemption, while Fidelity's bitcoin and ether products each took in roughly $3.6M, offsetting a chunk of the outflow pressure. Grayscale's GSOL accounted for the only material Solana-side exit.

  • FBTC (Fidelity): +$3.6M ↑
  • FETH (Fidelity): +$3.6M ↑
  • BITB (Bitwise): -$10.3M ↓
  • GSOL (Grayscale): -$2.6M ↓

The pattern — a single-issuer exit offset by Fidelity-side demand across both BTC and ETH wrappers — is more consistent with routine rebalancing than a directional flow signal. Scale matters: a sub-$10M net print across the complex is background noise relative to the multi-hundred-million prints that defined the September tape.

Market Overview

Majors trade higher across the board heading into Wednesday's open, though gains are modest and the weekly picture remains mixed. Bitcoin holds the $83,500 handle after a 0.6% overnight bid; ether lags on a weekly basis despite a 0.9% intraday lift. The monthly scorecard still favors risk, with every major asset InflowScan tracks sitting green on a 30-day basis.

Asset Price Analysis

Bitcoin trades at $83,500, up 0.6% over 24 hours and down 0.6% on the week. The 30-day return of 13.7% remains the structural anchor. Price has held above $83,000 for most of the overnight session, with resistance stacking in the $84,500–$85,000 band.

Ether sits at $2,470, up 0.9% intraday but off 3.7% over seven days — the clear laggard among the four majors on a weekly basis. The 30-day gain of 3.7% has largely eroded.

Solana at $106.92 continues to outperform, up 9.2% on the week and 15.6% on the month. The relative strength is consistent with the SOL ETF complex now carrying a visible flow footprint, though Tuesday's GSOL redemption trimmed the asset-level net.

XRP trades at $1.36, up 1.6% over 24 hours and 8.4% over 30 days, with the XRP ETF cohort flat on the settled tape.

Stablecoin Flows

USDT supply contracted by roughly $234M over the past 24 hours while USDC added a marginal $6.3M, per InflowScan data. The USDT drawdown is the more notable move and runs counter to the mild risk-on tone in spot — historically, offshore stablecoin contraction has coincided with reduced perp leverage rather than fresh spot bids.

Outlook

Wednesday's session sets up around Wednesday evening's settled flow prints, which will show whether Tuesday's muted tape extended or reversed. Levels to watch: BTC $83,000 as the near-term floor and $84,500 as the first resistance; ETH $2,450 support, with a reclaim of $2,500 needed to repair the weekly chart. Flow-side, continued Fidelity-only accumulation against single-issuer exits would reinforce the rebalancing read; a broadening of outflows across issuers would carry a different signal.
