US spot bitcoin ETFs took in $74.6 million on Wednesday, and ether funds added $53 million, a combined $127.6 million. Cointelegraph, citing SoSoValue, said the print ended three straight bitcoin outflow sessions that had totaled $1.16 billion. Ether funds snapped a seven-day streak that had sent out $657 million. CoinDesk rounded the same day to about $75 million for bitcoin and $53 million for ether. Tuesday's $115.56 million bitcoin outflow is in yesterday's ETF note.

Fidelity bought while BlackRock's IBIT kept selling

Farside Investors data cited by Cointelegraph showed Fidelity's Wise Origin Bitcoin Fund (FBTC) leading with roughly $237 million of inflows. BlackRock's iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) lost another $201.2 million, a fourth straight outflow day and $935.2 million over that run. The net bitcoin inflow still narrowed 2026's net outflow for the category to about $79 million.

The turnaround landed as bitcoin climbed back above $80,000, in today's price story. FXStreet said XRP spot ETFs stayed quiet, with cumulative inflows still near $1.8 billion and assets near $1.5 billion after small outflows on Monday and last Friday.
