Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana and XRP coins on a bright institutional capital pathway

XRP and Solana Join a $3 Billion Crypto ETF Week as Bitcoin Demand Broadens

Wall Street’s crypto bid is no longer stopping at Bitcoin.

U.S. exchange-traded funds tied to Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, XRP and Zcash pulled in roughly $3.04 billion from Monday through Thursday, according to a CryptoSlate review of SoSoValue data. Bitcoin still dominated with $2.25 billion, but nearly $793 million landed in products tied to other crypto assets.

The dataset covers five separate spot-crypto fund markets. Bitcoin and Ethereum products remained positive through Thursday, while XRP added money on three consecutive sessions.

The breadth changes the story. Institutional buying is reaching several crypto assets at the same time.

Ethereum products attracted $602.94 million over four sessions. Solana funds added $101.55 million, XRP products took in $52.95 million, and Zcash drew $35.17 million.

In other words, about 26% of the week’s five-asset inflow went somewhere other than Bitcoin.

The buying also came in a clear sequence rather than one isolated print. Bitcoin and Ethereum products were positive through all four reported sessions, while XRP added capital on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday.

SoSoValue’s September 24 snapshot put the 12 U.S. spot Bitcoin funds at $108.92 billion in net assets and $57.43 billion in cumulative inflows.

Bitcoin remains the anchor.

Bitcoin funds opened the week with a $999 million day, the strongest daily inflow of 2026. They then remained positive through Thursday, when another $190.65 million entered the group.

Farside Investors’ fund-by-fund tally shows how Thursday’s Bitcoin total was built, with BlackRock’s IBIT accounting for most of the session’s buying.

The six-day quantity is even more striking. One market tracker calculated that U.S. Bitcoin ETFs bought 34,500 BTC during that stretch.

XRP and Solana are becoming real ETF markets.

The smaller products are nowhere near Bitcoin’s scale, but they are no longer rounding errors. Solana ETFs have now accumulated $1.52 billion in net inflows and hold about $1.81 billion in assets, based on the same dataset.

XRP funds have reached $1.77 billion in cumulative inflows against approximately $1.70 billion in net assets. This week’s $52.95 million arrived across three consecutive positive sessions: $20.02 million Tuesday, $18.04 million Wednesday and $14.89 million Thursday.

That steady sequence is more useful than a one-day spike. It suggests allocators are building positions instead of simply chasing one volatile session.

Ethereum still captured more than three-quarters of all non-Bitcoin inflows this week. Its $602.94 million total included four straight positive days, led by $269.98 million Monday.

The price response is the next test.

Heavy ETF buying has not yet forced Bitcoin decisively above $85,000. The asset reached $87,392 on September 21, then settled back into the mid-$80,000 range.

CryptoSlate cited Bitfinex estimates placing the aggregate ETF investor break-even level near $86,000.

That creates a clean test. If inflows continue while Bitcoin holds near the recent buyers’ cost basis, the institutional bid could provide durable support. If the flows fade quickly, this week may look more like a catch-up burst than a new trend.

Bitcoin remains the market’s institutional anchor, while Ethereum, Solana and XRP are now attracting meaningful capital alongside it.
