Crypto Mania Hits New Heights (And My Bank Account Hates Me)

by

If you thought your morning coffee was expensive, wait until you hear how much money is flooding into Bitcoin ETFs. For the third straight day, these digital piggy banks have sucked up $1 billion, with Bitcoin leading the charge like a caffeinated squirrel in a suit.

The buying didn’t slow down on Thursday, Feb. 26. For the third straight session, capital flowed decisively into crypto ETFs, with bitcoin once again setting the pace. Over the past three days alone, bitcoin ETF inflows have now surpassed the $1 billion mark. It’s like the financial version of a three-day weekend, but instead of sleeping in, everyone’s buying crypto.

Spot bitcoin ETFs attracted $254.46 million in net inflows. Blackrock’s IBIT dominated the session with a massive $275.82 million contribution. Bitwise’s BITB added $69.01 million, while Grayscale’s Bitcoin Mini Trust chipped in $5.97 million. Fidelity’s FBTC, however, decided to take a break from the party, with $51.49 million in outflows. Nothing like a little redemption to keep things interesting.

Three days of inflows for bitcoin ETFs worth over $1 billion. Proof that hope is a currency now.

Ether ETFs extended their own winning streak, though gains were more modest. The category posted a net inflow of $6.57 million. Blackrock’s ETHA led with $15.34 million, followed by 21Shares’ TETH at $7.61 million and Grayscale’s ETHE with $6.60 million. Offsetting outflows from Fidelity’s FETH, Invesco’s QETH, and Grayscale’s Ether Mini Trust trimmed the overall gain but did not reverse it. Total trading volume came in at $893.65 million, with net assets ending at $11.60 billion. It’s like watching a toddler learn to ride a bike-wobbly, but somehow still moving forward.

XRP ETFs also finished higher. The segment recorded a $1.22 million inflow, primarily driven by Canary Capital’s XRPC and Bitwise’s XRP product. Trading volume reached $11.98 million, and assets stood at $1.02 billion. XRP: because “small but positive” is the new luxury.

Solana ETFs posted a smaller but positive move. The group added $507,780, entirely powered by Fidelity’s FSOL. Volume totaled $31.80 million, with net assets closing at $795.50 million. If crypto were a buffet, Solana would be the mystery meat no one talks about but everyone eats.

Taken together, Thursday marked a third consecutive all-green day across major crypto ETFs. Bitcoin remained the clear leader, ether maintained steady traction, and altcoin products continued to draw incremental capital. Momentum, at least for now, remains firmly intact. Or as I call it, the calm before the inevitable “oh no” moment.
