Crypto Spot ETFs Diverge: SOL and XRP See Inflows as BTC and ETH Post Outflows
News Brief
Spot crypto ETFs showed divergent fund flows last week, with Solana (SOL) and XRP products recording net inflows, while Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) spot ETFs experienced notable net outflows.
Spot crypto ETFs showed divergent fund flows last week, with Solana (SOL) and XRP products recording net inflows, while Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) spot ETFs experienced notable net outflows.
Weekly Net ETF Flows
- Bitcoin (BTC): –$782 million
- Ethereum (ETH): –$102.34 million
- Solana (SOL): +$13.14 million
- XRP: +$64 million
Market Context
The outflows from BTC and ETH ETFs suggest a period of profit‑taking or risk reduction in the two largest cryptocurrencies, following extended periods of strong inflows earlier in the cycle. Macro uncertainty, shifting rate expectations, and short‑term price volatility may have contributed to the pullback.
In contrast, SOL and XRP ETFs attracted fresh capital, signaling selective investor interest in large‑cap altcoins. Market participants point to relative performance, rotation trades, and expectations around ecosystem growth and regulatory developments as possible drivers.
Key Takeaways
- Capital rotation: Investors may be reallocating from BTC and ETH into select altcoin exposure
- Altcoin resilience: Positive flows into SOL and XRP indicate sustained demand despite broader ETF outflows
- Short‑term sentiment shift: ETF flows reflect tactical positioning rather than a broad reversal of long‑term trends
Looking Ahead
Analysts will be watching whether:
- BTC and ETH ETF outflows persist or stabilize
- Inflows into SOL and XRP accelerate
- Broader market sentiment turns risk‑on again
ETF flow data remains a closely watched indicator of institutional and allocator sentiment in the crypto market.

The Channel Factories We’ve Been Waiting For
The post The Channel Factories We’ve Been Waiting For appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Visions of future technology are often prescient about the broad strokes while flubbing the details. The tablets in “2001: A Space Odyssey” do indeed look like iPads, but you never see the astronauts paying for subscriptions or wasting hours on Candy Crush. Channel factories are one vision that arose early in the history of the Lightning Network to address some challenges that Lightning has faced from the beginning. Despite having grown to become Bitcoin’s most successful layer-2 scaling solution, with instant and low-fee payments, Lightning’s scale is limited by its reliance on payment channels. Although Lightning shifts most transactions off-chain, each payment channel still requires an on-chain transaction to open and (usually) another to close. As adoption grows, pressure on the blockchain grows with it. The need for a more scalable approach to managing channels is clear. Channel factories were supposed to meet this need, but where are they? In 2025, subnetworks are emerging that revive the impetus of channel factories with some new details that vastly increase their potential. They are natively interoperable with Lightning and achieve greater scale by allowing a group of participants to open a shared multisig UTXO and create multiple bilateral channels, which reduces the number of on-chain transactions and improves capital efficiency. Achieving greater scale by reducing complexity, Ark and Spark perform the same function as traditional channel factories with new designs and additional capabilities based on shared UTXOs. Channel Factories 101 Channel factories have been around since the inception of Lightning. A factory is a multiparty contract where multiple users (not just two, as in a Dryja-Poon channel) cooperatively lock funds in a single multisig UTXO. They can open, close and update channels off-chain without updating the blockchain for each operation. Only when participants leave or the factory dissolves is an on-chain transaction…
