Summary
US-listed crypto exchange-traded funds moved in opposite directions on October 15, according to Coinpaper's review of flow data. Ethereum products suffered the largest withdrawals, with US spot Ether funds recording $60.3 million in net outflows after $129.5 million the previous day, per Farside Investors. BlackRock's ETHA led the decline with $44.4 million in redemptions, while Grayscale's ETHE lost $18.3 million. Fidelity's FETH partially offset the selling with $2.4 million in inflows. Ethereum ETFs have shed roughly $189.8 million over two sessions, though cumulative net inflows since launch remain positive at approximately $13 billion.

Solana ETFs faced more sustained pressure. Farside data show Solana funds lost $9.8 million on October 15, including $6 million from Grayscale's GSOL and $3.8 million from Bitwise's BSOL. The session follows a $24.8 million weekly withdrawal that ended a 14-week inflow streak.

XRP products recorded roughly $1 million in net withdrawals on October 15, according to CryptoETF Today's tracker. Bitwise's XRP ETF accounted for $3.7 million in redemptions, partly offset by $2.7 million into Franklin Templeton's XRPZ. Coinpaper notes that XRP flow aggregators disagree on the final total due to differences in fund coverage and flow calculation methods. The five funds monitored by CryptoETF Today have attracted approximately $1.81 billion in cumulative net inflows since launch.

Bitcoin ETFs showed relative resilience, though the recovery was modest. BlackRock's IBIT attracted $16.8 million on October 15, offsetting $7.6 million in outflows from Grayscale's Bitcoin Mini Trust and $4.1 million from Invesco Galaxy's BTCO, for net inflows of $5.1 million. This followed a $261.4 million outflow on October 14, led by Fidelity's FBTC and BlackRock's IBIT.

The broader weekly trend remains negative. Between October 12 and 15, Bitcoin ETFs lost approximately $146 million and Ethereum funds shed around $250 million. Coinpaper cautions that the single-session Bitcoin inflow does not establish a rotation from altcoin products, noting there is no direct evidence that capital leaving XRP, Ethereum or Solana funds flowed into Bitcoin ETFs.
