With pockets of daily inflows overshadowed by larger weekly outflows, US spot Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs saw erratic flows in the first half of February 2026. Bitcoin ETFs registered small net inflows of $15.1 million on February 14, propelled by Fidelity's FBTC (+$12M) and Grayscale's mini trust (+$7M), even while BlackRock's IBIT kept seeing redemptions. Ethereum ETFs followed a similar script that day, posting $10.2 million in net inflows, led by Grayscale’s mini ETH product (+$14.5M) which more than offset losses from BlackRock’s ETHA. Still, the broader picture was bearish: ETH ETFs suffered considerably greater weekly outflows of 78,345 ETH, while BTC ETFs shed a net 11,607 BTC over the previous week despite short daily gains.
With BTC ETFs losing 3,711 BTC (roughly $253 million) and ETH ETFs seeing 27,535 ETH redeemed (about $55 million), outflows spiked sharply on February 12. Shorter windows offered some relief—February 9–10 showed positive flows of +417 BTC and +10,536 ETH—but the overall trend pointed to institutional caution as prices consolidated after earlier sell-offs and traders awaited stronger directional signals.
Whale activity lent a bullish undercurrent contrary. One big player with $11 billion in assets opened $748 million in leveraged long positions across BTC, ETH, and SOL after previous ETH profit-taking, accepting temporary unrealized losses while preparing for a rebound. From longs in the same triad of assets, another seasoned Bitcoin holder made $50 million in profit and now holds $845 million in exposure as values rebounded. Recent whale patterns also showed selective ETH accumulation and rotation out of BTC, reflecting divided but increasingly opportunistic sentiment among large holders betting on an eventual recovery.
