Bitcoin ETFs bleed $64M as Ethereum, Solana, and XRP funds absorb $28M in a single day
Bitcoin spot ETFs hemorrhaged roughly $64 million in net outflows on June 15, while Ethereum, Solana, and XRP funds collectively pulled in about $28 million.
Ethereum led the altcoin charge with approximately $22.5 million in net inflows. Solana and XRP each attracted around $2.8 million apiece.
Grayscale’s GBTC product continues to be a major contributor to Bitcoin’s outflow problem. The converted trust has been a persistent source of selling pressure since its spot ETF conversion, and the pattern showed no signs of breaking on this particular trading day.
Meanwhile, XRP’s price climbed roughly 7% and Solana gained about 6%. Cumulative inflows for XRP spot ETFs have surpassed $1.44 billion since their launch in late 2025.
The combined $28 million flowing into altcoin ETFs on a single day, while Bitcoin shed $64 million, creates an interesting dynamic. For every dollar going into altcoin ETFs, more than two dollars left Bitcoin funds.
In 2025, spot ETFs for leading digital assets beyond Bitcoin garnered significant regulatory attention, resulting in Ethereum ETFs being introduced first, followed by those for Solana and XRP later that year. These products allowed traditional investors to gain exposure to cryptocurrencies without the need for direct token custody.

The AI boom may follow the path of the 19th-century railway bubble, and builders may not be the ultimate winners
Goldman Sachs analyst Bobby Molavi compared the current situation to the 19th-century British railway mania: 500 companies spent more than the nation's annual income building 8,000 miles of railway, with most early investors losing out, while the real beneficiaries were the later "passengers." He pointed out that the current AI craze is driven by both debt and momentum, and that the S&P 500’s forward P/E ratio of 18x is only "a bit cheaper." Whether the builders can retain value is uncertain, and history does not offer an optimistic answer.
If Anthropic's IPO goes smoothly and the stock price rises next week, then everything remains the same for AI. Otherwise, some companies will go bankrupt.

Multiple venture capital firms have advised their portfolio companies to lower valuation expectations and to quickly build up cash reserves. Market participants warn that the outcome of Anthropic’s IPO will be a barometer for the industry: if successful, the boom will continue; if it fails, some companies may face elimination.
