Crypto ETFs delivered a broadly constructive week as strong mid-week inflows outweighed late selling pressure. Bitcoin and ether ETFs led the charge, while XRP and solana quietly extended their positive momentum.

Exchange-traded fund (ETF) flows told a familiar January story this week: sharp rotations, heavy conviction, and resilience beneath the surface. Despite a volatile finish, institutional appetite remained intact across the crypto ETF market.

Bitcoin ETFs posted a net inflow of $1.42 billion on $21.77 billion in trading volume, driven by explosive mid-week demand. Blackrock’s IBIT was the clear anchor, finishing the week with $1.03 billion in net inflows, powered by massive entries on Jan. 14 and 15 that easily absorbed late-week selling.

Fidelity’s FBTC closed firmly positive with $194.40 million in net inflows, even after heavy redemptions on Friday. Grayscale’s GBTC was largely flat on the week as inflows earlier were offset by late exits, while Ark & 21Shares’ ARKB ($42.50 million) and Bitwise’s BITB ($79.64 million) both ended marginally positive after Friday’s sharp risk-off move trimmed earlier gains.

Ether ETFs recorded a $479.04 million weekly net inflow with $7.74 billion traded, marking their strongest week of the year. Blackrock’s ETHA dominated activity, delivering the bulk of inflows with $219.05 million and setting the tone for the category.

Grayscale’s Ether Mini Trust and ETHE added steady demand throughout the week with inflows of $123.38 million and $76.74 million, while Fidelity’s FETH saw mixed flows but ultimately finished slightly positive with $20.27 million as strong mid-week accumulation offset Friday profit-taking.

XRP ETFs continued to build momentum, posting $56.83 million in net inflows on $144.53 million in volume. Grayscale’s GXRP was the primary driver with $23.75 million, with additions from Bitwise’s XRP ($18.39 million) and Franklin’s XRPZ ($11.30 million), adding incremental support despite mild volatility late in the week.

Solana ETFs quietly extended their advance with $46.88 million in net inflows and $209.13 million traded. Bitwise’s BSOL once again led demand with $32.23 million, supported by steady contributions from Fidelity’s FSOL ($10.97 million) and Grayscale’s GSOL ($3.94 million), even as Friday saw light profit-taking.

The week reinforced a key January theme which shows that short-term volatility hasn’t shaken institutional conviction. Dip-buying behavior remains intact, especially in bitcoin and ether, keeping the broader ETF structure constructive heading into late January.
