Solana, XRP attract inflows despite 4-week crypto ETP outflows streak
- Digital asset investment products saw outflows of over $173 million last week.
- Bitcoin and Ethereum recorded the most outflows amid broader price weakness.
- Solana and XRP maintained their inflow momentum despite the overall downturn.
Digital asset investment products recorded another week of outflows, extending the capital flight to four weeks.
As has been the case throughout the bearish phase, Bitcoin and Ethereum led the negative trend, with investor caution amid market volatility and the overriding sentiment key catalysts.
However, CoinShares reports that Solana and XRP notched inflows despite recent price declines.
Crypto ETP outflows extend to four weeks
According to James Butterfill, head of research at CoinShares, digital asset investment products saw a fourth consecutive week of outflows totalling $173 million for the period to February 13, 2026.
The redemptions bring the cumulative four-week run to over $3.7 billion, Butterfill wrote in a weekly report published on Monday.
CoinShares notes that the week started positively with inflows of $575 million on Monday, Feb. 9, 2026.
However, that flipped red as risk assets sold off, pushing $853 million from crypto exchange-traded products by mid-week.
That dip coincided with fresh price weakness across major cryptocurrencies, a scenario that intensified as BTC touched new lows around $60k.
Gains for stocks and cryptocurrencies nonetheless saw sentiment flip slightly bullish on the latest CPI data release.
According to Butterfill, the market recorded $105 million in inflows on Friday.
Yet, net flows remained negative for the week. ETP trading volumes dropped sharply to $27 billion from a record $63 billion the previous week.
Analysts note that this pattern reflects the overall profit-taking and risk-aversion environment.
A look at regional distribution suggests US-based products continue to bear the brunt of the outflows.
Solana and XRP defy outflows trend
Although BTC and ETH led the way in terms of volumes of outflows this past week, a few altcoins showed resilience.
The market saw strong institutional interest in Solana and XRP even as prices faced pressure.
Over the past week, XRP ETFs and other digital asset investment products drew $33.4 million, while Solana attracted more than $31 million.
Both altcoins build on last week’s figures of roughly $48.5 million for SOL and $62.9 million for XRP, according to CoinShares data.
Elsewhere, the oracle network Chainlink (LINK) also saw inflows, albeit a modest $1.1 million.
Butterfill says the inflows reflect bullish sentiment on key coins, a factor that points to investor confidence in selective altcoin markets.
Bitcoin and Ethereum lead ETP weekly outflows
Bitcoin experienced the harshest weekly outflows as bears showcased their strength.
Data shows investors pulled over $133 million from various BTC-tied products.
Uncertainty meant even short Bitcoin investment products added to the overall pressure, recording outflows totaling $15.4 million over the past two weeks.
The same outlook hit Ethereum, which saw more than $85 million in outflows amid waning investor appetite.

Bittensor price forecast as TAO hits $200 resistance amid Upbit listing
- Bittensor price rose to highs of $207 amid Upbit’s listing announcement.
- However, buyers retreated and saw TAO touch lows of $179.
- The daily chart signals a potential bullish move, and $300 could be the next target.
Bittensor (TAO) has retested the $200 mark, reaching intraday highs of $207 in early trading on Monday as top cryptocurrencies look to hold key levels.
While the TAO price made gains in early trading, it has fluctuated heavily in the past hours, with the volatility coming amid a major exchange listing and broader market weakness.
Bittensor pares gains as Upbit lists TAO pairs
At the time of writing, TAO traded around $185, slightly off intraday highs and about 2% down in the past 24 hours.
The latest uptick and subsequent sharp decline align with the listing announcement from South Korea’s leading cryptocurrency exchange, Upbit.

The exchange has added TAO pairs on its spot trading platform, a development that sparked immediate price action.
According to Upbit, traders can now access TAO/KRW, TAO/BTC, and TAO/USDT trading pairs as of Feb.16, which is a notable move set to bolster accessibility for TAO across one of Asia’s largest crypto markets.
Localized demand has often seen tokens listed on Korean exchanges post sharp gains, and that’s what TAO experienced.
However, amid profit taking, which has coincided with a 51% uptick in daily volume, prices have revisited support at $179.
Can Bittensor hold onto momentum?
Beyond the Upbit catalyst, Bittensor’s recent price rally from lows of $145 ties closely to a recent pivotal leadership shift.
This is because Jacob Steeves, known as “const,” announced he had stepped down as CEO of the OpenTensor Foundation, marking a key transition to a “headless” protocol free from centralized control.
Steeves’ announcement amplified decentralization sentiment among investors, positioning Bittensor as a resilient AI infrastructure play.
With dynamic TAO upgrades and subnet competition already live, the protocol now operates as a self-sustaining ecosystem.
Grayscale has also highlighted potential institutional interest in the token, particularly with its TAO ETP filing.
Bittensor price prediction: more pain or $300 next?
The cryptocurrency market’s struggles have led to most altcoins tracking losses over the past several months.
Bittensor price mirrors this outlook, and with Bitcoin constrained around $70,000, sentiment remains largely bearish.
Despite this, can TAO break towards the $300 mark?
The daily chart paints a slightly bullish picture, given the RSI and MACD indicators.
Bulls can solidify control near $180 and look to reclaim the critical $200 level.
Such a breakout from the descending channel could allow buyers to target the 50-day moving average and swing highs of $240.
From here, the next target of $300 would come into view.
However, failure to successfully reclaim $200 risks a retest of demand zones seen in recent months.
The area around $144 could mark a key short-term support level.
