TLDR

  • On Tuesday, Bitcoin ETFs had inflows of $167 million, continuing a three – day positive trend.
  • The total weekly inflows of ETFs now amount to $311.6 million, which is close to last week’s $318 million outflows.
  • Goldman Sachs decreased its Bitcoin ETF holdings while adding positions in XRP and Solana.
  • On Tuesday, altcoin ETFs had gains, with Ether, XRP, and Solana leading the way.

Spot Bitcoin ETFs received $167 million in inflows on Tuesday, making it a third consecutive day of positive inflows. This has almost offset the $318 million in outflows from last week. Even though the price of Bitcoin dropped by 13% in the past seven days, investor interest has remained stable. The resurgence in ETF activity implies that institutional investors are still putting capital into Bitcoin, despite the broader market being uncertain and volatile.

ETF Inflows Continue Despite Falling Prices

On Tuesday, there were inflows of $166.6 million, continuing the positive streak that started earlier this week. According to SoSoValue, this brought the total weekly inflows to $311.6 million.

This happened even though Bitcoin’s price dropped by 13% in the past seven days. Based on CoinGecko data, the price briefly fell below $68,000 on Tuesday. While there were outflows of $318 million last week, this week’s gains have nearly made up for the loss.

Institutional Holdings Show Resilience

Data from SoSoValue shows that core institutional holdings have remained stable even during the price decline. The total institutional held in ETFs has only decreased by 7% since October, going from 1.37 million BTC to 1.29 million BTC.

Eric Balchunas, a senior ETF analyst at Bloomberg, pointed out that “only about 6% of total assets left the funds,” even though the Bitcoin price dropped sharply. He also mentioned that BlackRock’s IBIT is still the fastest ETF to reach $60 billion in assets.

Goldman Sachs Adjusts Crypto ETF Portfolio

In a recent SEC Form 13F filing, Goldman Sachs revealed that it reduced its exposure to Bitcoin ETFs in the fourth quarter of 2025. The bank cut its position in BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust ETF by 39%, reducing the number of shares from 34 million to 20.7 million.

At the same time, Goldman decreased its holdings in Fidelity Wise Origin Bitcoin and Ether ETFs. However, it opened new positions in XRP and Solana ETFs, buying $152 million worth of XRP shares and $104 million in Solana ETFs.

Altcoin ETFs Register Modest Gains

While Bitcoin ETFs led the inflows, altcoin ETFs also saw increases. On Tuesday, Ether ETFs added around $14 million. According to SoSoValue, XRP and Solana ETFs followed with $3.3 million and $8.4 million respectively.

The overall activity shows a broader market move towards crypto ETFs, although the levels are still below the early – year highs. Assets have dropped from a peak of $100 billion to about $60 billion, but core investors seem to be holding on.
