CryptoCompass editorial visual for altcoins coverage.
  • Bitcoin ETFs attracted $132.3 million in net inflows.
  • Ethereum ETFs added $36.7 million in fresh capital.
  • Solana and XRP ETFs recorded zero net flows on July 17.

U.S. crypto exchange-traded funds (ETFs) ended the week on a positive note, with Bitcoin and Ethereum attracting fresh investor capital on July 17.

Bitcoin spot ETFs led the session, recording $132.3 million in net inflows. Ethereum spot ETFs also posted a solid performance, bringing in $36.7 million in new investments.

The positive flows suggest institutional investors continued to show interest in the two largest cryptocurrencies despite ongoing market volatility.

Bitcoin and Ethereum Continue to Attract Capital

Bitcoin remained the primary destination for institutional investment, accounting for the majority of ETF inflows during the session. Ethereum also maintained positive momentum, reflecting sustained demand for exposure to the second-largest digital asset.

Spot ETF flows are widely monitored because they provide insight into institutional sentiment. Consistent inflows often indicate growing confidence, while outflows can point to caution or profit-taking.

Solana and XRP ETFs Remain Unchanged

Unlike Bitcoin and Ethereum, Solana (SOL) and XRP ETFs recorded no net inflows or outflows on July 17. The flat performance indicates that investor activity in these products remained unchanged during the trading session.

As institutional adoption of digital assets continues to evolve, daily ETF flow data remains an important indicator of market sentiment. Investors will be watching whether Bitcoin and Ethereum can maintain their positive momentum and whether Solana and XRP ETFs begin attracting fresh capital in the coming weeks.
