Bitcoin Spot ETFs Take In $175.6M; Solana Sheds $1.04M
Spot cryptocurrency ETFs closed a mixed session on Oct. 13, 2026, with Bitcoin and Ethereum drawing fresh capital while Solana funds saw redemptions.
Bitcoin spot ETFs pulled in $175.62 million in net inflows, the largest haul among the three categories, according to the reported figures. Ethereum funds added $24.84 million. Solana spot ETFs moved the other way, logging $1.04 million in net outflows.
Combined net inflows across the three categories reached $199.42 million, with Bitcoin supplying the bulk of the money entering these products. Its intake equaled roughly 88% of the positive flows into Bitcoin and Ethereum funds combined; Ethereum made up the remaining $24.84 million.
Spot ETF net flows — Oct. 13, 2026
Bitcoin (BTC): +$175.62M
Ethereum (ETH): +$24.84M
Solana (SOL): –$1.04M
Combined net flow: +$199.42M
Demand was concentrated in Bitcoin-linked products. Ethereum also drew net buying interest, though on a far smaller scale. Solana's $1.04 million withdrawal means more money left its spot ETFs than entered them during the reporting period.
Flow gaps of this kind do not necessarily signal that investors expect one cryptocurrency to outperform another. ETF activity can be swayed by portfolio adjustments, trading strategies and shifting market conditions.
ETF FLOWS: BTC and ETH spot ETFs saw net inflows on Oct. 13, while SOL spot ETFs saw net outflows. BTC: $175.62M ETH: $24.84M SOL: –$1.04M — Cointelegraph (@Cointelegraph), Oct. 14, 2026
Spot ETFs let investors gain exposure to digital assets without directly managing cryptocurrency wallets. Positive net flows mean fund creations exceeded redemptions in value for the session; negative flows reflect the reverse.
One positive trading day does not guarantee a sustained recovery in institutional demand, just as Solana's modest outflows do not establish a longer-term decline in investor interest. Market participants typically track ETF activity across several sessions to identify meaningful trends.
For now, Bitcoin leads with $175.62 million in inflows, followed by Ethereum's $24.84 million. Solana's $1.04 million withdrawal aside, the three categories finished Oct. 13 with nearly $200 million in combined net inflows.
