Latest data shows that the ETF market on January 16th, Eastern Time, exhibits a divergent pattern.

The performance of Bitcoin spot ETFs has been lackluster, with total net outflows reaching $395 million. Only BlackRock's IBIT product experienced net inflows, reflecting cautious sentiment among institutions regarding the current price levels.

In contrast, Ethereum spot ETFs continue to perform strongly, with a net inflow of $4.6445 million yesterday, maintaining a net inflow for five consecutive days, indicating sustained institutional enthusiasm for increasing ETH holdings.

XRP spot ETFs also recorded a net inflow of $1.12 million, demonstrating relatively stable performance. Solana spot ETFs faced slight pressure, with net outflows of $2.22 million.

Overall, the fund performance across different cryptocurrencies varies significantly, with institutional sentiment on Bitcoin remaining cautious while continued allocation to Ethereum persists.

BTC-2.67%

ETH-2.45%

XRP-1.48%

SOL-5.98%

ngl the btc flows are giving major "we're not sure about this price" energy... meanwhile eth just keeps eating... *arguably* the institutional incentive structures suggest some pretty non-trivial path dependency forming here tbh

Institutions are all rushing out, only IBIT is still holding on? This bet doesn't seem quite right. ETH has been rising for 5 consecutive days, now that's really appealing. Why is BTC not as popular? Solana is bleeding again. When will it take off? XRP is quietly accumulating, a low-profile player. If Bitcoin continues to fall in this wave, I will need to reassess my portfolio.

Institutions are really playing us, dumping BTC and aggressively buying ETH. The difference is just too obvious.

Institutions are really timid when it comes to Bitcoin, but their enthusiasm for Ethereum continues to stay high. This difference is quite interesting.

Bitcoin is once again escaping in the bottom-fishing signal, institutions are really scared... On the other hand, ETH is extremely hot, this feeling is a bit familiar.

Institutions are all bottom-fishing ETH, still think BTC is expensive at this price? Laughing to death --- Is ibit carrying the entire market alone? Other BTC funds have already exited --- Five consecutive days of green for ETH, who can withstand this rhythm... --- It's good if XRP can stay stable, why is SOL bleeding again --- Really, it seems institutions are not so optimistic about BTC either --- Wait... what does this imply, is ETH about to surpass BTC? --- Only BlackRock dares to take the risk, not bad --- Such severe capital divergence, I can't understand the institutions' thinking --- Five days of net inflow, ETH's recent performance is a bit impressive

BTC is really being ignored by institutions, no wonder my bag feels so uncomfortable... ETH, on the other hand, is steadily sucking in, even with a 5-day net inflow, right? This is what you call the Matthew effect.
