U.S. crypto ETFs had a strong September, with billions of dollars flowing into funds linked to Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), Solana (SOL), and XRP.
According to data from SosoValue (on October 1 at 18:00 UTC), Bitcoin led the month with $2.65 billion in inflows, while Ethereum recorded $832.43 million, Solana $271.61 million, and XRP $121.40 million. However, the strong run ended with broad selling on September 30.
Bitcoin’s nine-day inflow streak ends
Bitcoin ETFs had been building momentum throughout the month. The 12 U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded a nine-day inflow streak, bringing in about $3.1 billion during the run.
The inflow came as Bitcoin gained about 42% during the third quarter, according to data from CoinMarketCap (on October 1 at 18:00 UTC), helping the funds return to positive territory for 2026 after earlier outflows had weighed on their yearly figures.
The streak ended on September 30. According to SoSoValue (on October 1 at 18:00 UTC), U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded about $149 million in net outflows that day, with none of the 12 funds recording an inflow.
The broad outflows meant selling was spread across the funds rather than concentrated in one or two products.
According to data from SosoValue (on October 1 at 18:00 UTC), Fidelity’s FBTC recorded the largest outflow at about $125.58 million. Bitwise’s BITB followed with $13.63 million, while BlackRock’s IBIT recorded an outflow of $9.48 million. Trading volume across the Bitcoin ETFs reached about $2.36 billion, while total net assets stood at about $107.98 billion.
Ethereum ETFs face fresh outflows
Ethereum ETFs also faced selling pressure on the final day of the month. The funds recorded a combined $59.58 million in net outflows, with none of the 10 ETFs posting an inflow.
According to data from SosoValue (on October 1 at 18:00 UTC), Fidelity’s FETH saw $26.60 million leave the fund, while Grayscale’s Ether Mini Trust recorded a $25.48 million outflow. Grayscale’s ETHE also lost another $7.50 million.
Major crypto ETFs record strong September inflows
September still included several strong inflow days before the broad selloff. On September 28, Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, and XRP ETFs all recorded inflows at the same time.
Together, they brought in about $65 million that day. Bitcoin accounted for $31.07 million, Ethereum recorded $17.10 million, Solana attracted $12.70 million, and XRP brought in $3.96 million.
The week around September 25 was another notable period for Bitcoin ETFs. They recorded about $2.39 billion in inflows during the week, the largest weekly figure of 2026 in the supplied data. Solana ETFs also reached a daily inflow record of $86.7 million on September 25.
According to data from SosoValue (on October 1 at 18:00 UTC), looking at the broader picture, Bitcoin ETFs have attracted about $57.58 billion in cumulative net inflows since launching in January 2024. Their total net assets stood at about $107.82 billion as of September 28. Ethereum ETFs have recorded $13.96 billion in cumulative inflows, while XRP and Solana ETFs have reached $1.79 billion and $1.62 billion, respectively.
Other crypto ETFs show mixed results
SosoValue’s data (on October 1 at 18:00 UTC) also showed mixed results across other crypto ETFs during September. BNB ETFs recorded no inflows, while HYPE ETFs recorded a $6.86 million net outflow.
Solana ETFs also ended September 30 with an $11.10 million outflow, while XRP ETFs recorded no net flow that day.
The final day also brought some buying elsewhere. Bitwise’s NEAR ETF recorded a $14.04 million inflow, making it the only major crypto ETF category in the supplied September 30 data to finish with a positive flow.
