Even as the broader crypto market faces a sharp downturn, altcoin ETF inflows continue to show surprising strength. The total crypto market cap fell 1.06% today to $3.17T, while the Fear & Greed Index sits at a strongly fearful 15. Major ETFs like Bitcoin and Ethereum registered heavy red days once again — yet Solana, XRP, and Litecoin ETFs continue to shine with fresh inflows.
Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs Extend Red Streaks
While the focus remains on altcoins, it’s important to note that market pressure continues to weigh heavily on the majors:
- Bitcoin ETF saw its 4th consecutive day of outflows, losing $254.6M on Nov 17.
- Ethereum ETF recorded its 5th straight outflow day, with $182.7M leaving the funds.
Despite this backdrop, altcoin ETF inflows remained positive — a striking divergence.
Solana ETF Leads Altcoin ETF Inflows Again
The Solana ETF extended its perfect streak, registering 13 consecutive days of positive net inflows since launch.
On November 17:
- Net inflow: $8.2M
- Grayscale GSOL: $0.7M
- Bitwise BSOL: $7.3M
Total Solana ETF AUM now sits around $513.48M.
More issuers joining the Solana ETF ecosystem
- VanEck has now officially joined with its own Solana ETF.
- Fidelity is expected to launch today or tomorrow, expanding institutional access further.
Solana Price Context
- Current price: $139
- +3% on the day
- –13% on the weekly timeframe
Even with the price slump, Altcoin ETF inflows into Solana continue to outperform nearly all crypto ETFs on the market.
XRP ETF Posts Strong Second-Day Performance
The XRP ETF recorded a strong $25.41M net inflow on Nov 17 — a major achievement given the market’s red conditions.
- Total XRP ETF AUM: $257.08M
- This impressive number was reached in only two days of trading.
XRP Price Context
- Current price: $2.21
- +1.55% on the day
- –8.87% on the week
XRP ETF inflows remain disconnected from short-term price weakness, showing early institutional interest.
Litecoin ETF Maintains Perfect Streak of Positive Days
The Litecoin ETF has never posted a negative day since launch — only positive inflows or neutral days.
On Nov 17:
- Net inflow: $2.03M
- Second-best inflow day ever
Total AUM: $7.88M
Litecoin Price Context
- Current price: $97
- +7% from yesterday
- –4% on the weekly chart
Litecoin is benefiting from renewed interest, especially after trending higher in the privacy-token narrative.
HBAR ETF: First Negative Day Since Launch
HBAR ETF recorded its first-ever net outflow on Nov 17:
- Outflow: $1.71M
- Total AUM now: $58.51M
HBAR Price Context
- Current price: $0.1509
- +1.44% on the day
- –18% across the week
Despite the outflow, HBAR remains structurally strong relative to price action.
Conclusion — Altcoin ETF inflows outshine market sentiment
While Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs continue to bleed, altcoin ETF inflows remain the standout story of the week. Solana’s 13-day streak, XRP’s explosive early demand, and Litecoin’s flawless inflow history suggest that institutional investors are diversifying aggressively into alternative large-cap assets — regardless of short-term volatility.
