Spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds recorded $102.67 million in net inflows on Oct. 1, reflecting sustained institutional demand. XRP spot ETFs added $4.07 million, while Ethereum products experienced $55.37 million in withdrawals and Solana ETFs lost $5.91 million during the same period.
Bitcoin climbed to $85,918, up 2.4 percent in 24 hours. The consistent capital influx into BTC spot products shows institutional conviction translating into reduced selling pressure. On-chain data reveals Bitcoin exchange balances continuing to decline, with assets flowing into cold storage and long-term holding wallets—a bullish signal for supply tightness. The Crypto Fear & Greed Index sits at 72, firmly in Greed territory.
The $55.37 million outflow from Ethereum ETFs signals capital rotation or profit-taking. Ethereum trades at $2,727, up 0.7 percent, but institutional buying has cooled compared to Bitcoin's momentum in recent weeks. Solana's $5.91 million outflow suggests similar dynamics, with SOL at $121.34. Investors appear to be re-evaluating risk exposure across layer-one protocols, consolidating positions into Bitcoin as the perceived safer bet.
XRP's $4.07 million net inflow reflects confidence following regulatory clarity in the U.S. market. XRP trades at $1.52. The consistent institutional interest points to a strategic allocation based on XRP's cross-border payment utility and established protocol mechanics.
