Ethereum ETFs Break Losing Streak, Solana Continues to Bleed

Historical Background Context

Bitcoin ETFs pulled in $176M on October 13, their best single day this month, while XRP ETFs logged zero net flow for three straight sessions, indicating fading investor interest. Strive bought $280 million in Bitcoin during Oct. 5–9, but the increase in Bitcoin per effective common share was limited to 1.72%.

Market Analysis

Ethereum ETFs just snapped a brutal losing streak while Solana funds keep bleeding, but the structural forces building beneath both assets suggest the recovery story is far more complicated than one green day implies. Ethereum ETFs saw a net inflow of $24.8 million on October 13, 2026, marking their first positive session since September 28. This inflow ended a streak of 10 consecutive days of withdrawals that lasted from September 29 to October 12. However, when comparing Ethereum and Solana ETFs, only one group has shown signs of recovery. In the same session, Solana funds lost $1.0 million and have faced outflows in eight of nine sessions so far in October. The trend in fund flows reflects cryptocurrency performance. As of October 14, Ethereum is priced at approximately $2,499, down 4.4% over the past week, while Solana is trading at around $107, down 9.8%.

Fund Flows

Fund flows refer to the movement of money into or out of an exchange-traded fund (ETF). When new money comes in, it creates shares; when money leaves, investors redeem shares. A streak of 10 negative sessions indicates that more money left Ethereum funds than entered during that time. Despite the positive inflow, the total value of Ethereum funds still decreased on October 13 due to a drop in Ether’s price that day. Currently, Ethereum funds hold $15.83 billion in assets, so the overall value can still decline even when money comes in. The inflow amount was relatively small. Compared with the larger asset base and the $13.20 billion in total inflows since launch, the $24.8 million inflow is barely significant. While it shows that selling has paused for now, it’s too soon to declare a full recovery.

Solana Analysis

Solana has seen a more consistent pattern compared to Ethereum. Its funds lost money in eight of nine sessions in October, with only a single gain of $1.3 million on October 2. The consistent selling reflected in nearly daily withdrawals indicates a negative sentiment among investors. The price movement mirrors this trend. Solana’s sharp 9.8% decline over the week is more than double Ethereum’s 4.4% drop, suggesting many holders are selling off their assets.

Conclusion

There isn’t enough historical data for either fund to determine how long such streaks usually last, as both are relatively new. Ethereum’s fund base is approximately nine times larger than Solana’s, with $15.83 billion in net assets compared to Solana’s $1.71 billion. Consequently, even a small change in sentiment can lead to larger capital movements, meaning a few returning buyers for Ethereum could quickly shift the daily flow figures. However, Ethereum does face a challenge. BitMine, its largest single buyer, is just $194 million away from a self-imposed purchase limit. Once BitMine reaches this threshold, Ethereum will need new buyers to replace this demand. On the other hand, Solana benefits from a steady buyer. A listed treasury company continues to add to its Solana holdings, treating it as a reserve asset. This steady support could help stabilize Solana’s price even amidst ongoing fund outflows.
