U.S. crypto ETF flows turned sharply negative this week as traders reacted to heavy outflows and renewed regulatory movement following the end of the government shutdown. Spot Bitcoin ETFs saw $870 million in outflows on November 13—the second-largest exit ever recorded—while Ethereum ETFs posted three consecutive days of withdrawals totaling $260 million.
Despite the broader downturn, $SOL ETFs attracted $1.49 million in fresh inflows, reflecting selective investor confidence across altcoin products. Data from Sosovalue shows extreme volatility in ETF flow patterns throughout 2024–2025, with funds frequently swinging between strong inflows and major red days as market sentiment shifted.
As of November 2025, total crypto ETF net assets reached $130.54 billion, even as Bitcoin ETF flows continued to fluctuate. BTC traded near $98,162 during the latest outflow wave, with repeated red bars signaling cautious market behavior.
Regulatory momentum also resumed after President Donald Trump signed legislation ending the U.S. government shutdown. The SEC announced it had cleared a backlog of more than 900 filings, allowing delayed crypto ETF applications to move forward smoothly.
Pending ETF filings—Solana, $LTC , HBAR, and $XRP ETFs—can now advance since their 8-A filings and exchange certifications remain valid. The SEC also clarified that issuers no longer need delaying amendments; Rule 473(b) language or a new registration is sufficient for automatic effectiveness after 20 days.
The agency will continue its detailed review of the BlackRock Bitcoin Premium Income ETF, while issuers may request accelerated approval under Rule 461. Overall, the resumed regulatory flow marks a key turning point for U.S. crypto markets as ETF products regain momentum.
