Ah, the theater of crypto, where fortunes rise and fall with the whims of the market! On this fine Friday, May 29, the stage was set for a drama most absurd. Bitcoin funds, those proud giants, suffered their tenth day of outflows, while Ether funds, ever the loyal companions, extended their streak to fourteen. Yet, lo! The lesser players-XRP, HYPE, and Solana-stepped forth to claim their moment of glory, attracting fresh capital like moths to a flame.

Key Farces:
- Bitcoin ETFs wept into their ledgers, losing $125.3M, led by the tragic Blackrock IBIT.
- Ether ETFs, ever the tragedians, saw their 14th day of outflows, with ETHA’s withdrawals stealing the show.
- XRP, HYPE, and Solana ETFs, the court jesters, attracted capital, proving that even fools have their day.
Bitcoin and Ether ETFs Weep $143M as XRP and HYPE Funds Dance in Glory
The week closed with a comedy of errors in the crypto ETF market. Investors, those fickle patrons, fled the grand stages of Bitcoin and Ether, yet they did not abandon the theater entirely. Instead, they moved with the caution of a cat on a hot tin roof, favoring the lesser-known acts.
Bitcoin ETFs shed $125.31 million, their tenth consecutive day of sorrow. Blackrock’s IBIT, the lead tragedian, lost $68.20 million, while Fidelity’s FBTC followed with a $31.95 million exit. Grayscale’s Bitcoin Mini Trust and Ark & 21Shares’ ARKB also wept, losing $9.74 million and $7.30 million, respectively. Morgan Stanley’s MSBT and Grayscale’s GBTC joined the chorus of woe, shedding $5.26 million and $2.85 million. Total Bitcoin ETF value traded reached $2.21 billion, with net assets closing at $94.17 billion.
Ether ETFs, though not without their moments of levity, remained in the red. The group saw $17.91 million in net outflows, extending their losing streak to 14 days. Yet, some funds found favor: Fidelity’s FETH added $10.53 million, Blackrock’s ETHB brought in $9.32 million, 21Shares’ TETH gained $1.51 million, and Bitwise’s ETHW added $1.44 million. Alas, Blackrock’s ETHA, the villain of the piece, recorded a $40.72 million outflow, leaving the category in the red. Total Ether ETF value traded was $589.04 million, with net assets closing at $11.27 billion.
Altcoin ETFs, the unsung heroes, offered the clearest support.
XRP ETFs added $11.88 million, led by Bitwise’s XRP product with $7.36 million. Canary’s XRPC drew $2.38 million, while Franklin’s XRPZ brought in $2.14 million. Total value traded was $13.21 million, with net assets closing at $1.12 billion.
HYPE ETFs posted $9.50 million in inflows, all through 21Shares’ THYP. Total value traded reached $83.37 million, while net assets rose to $136.56 million.
Solana ETFs added $1.32 million, split between Fidelity’s FSOL at $1.21 million and Bitwise’s BSOL at $110,830. Total value traded was $32.62 million, with net assets ending at $943.57 million.
Friday’s flows revealed a market still trimming its exposure to the grandest crypto ETFs, with Bitcoin and Ether funds losing a combined $143.22 million. Yet, inflows into XRP, HYPE, and Solana products softened the blow, suggesting investors remain discerning rather than absent. Ah, the folly of it all!
