Weekly net outflows for Bitcoin ETFs reached $238.14 million, putting Ethereum's weekly gains of $6.80 million at risk.

From sell-offs to staking rewards – Inside Grayscale’s strategic SUI move!

Wall Street is increasingly participating in crypto, with institutions entering risk assets via ETFs. Grayscale launched a staking SUI ETF (GSUI) on February 18, drawing attention to Sui despite its poor performance—down 31% in 2026 after a 57% loss the previous year, erasing all post-election gains. Open interest dropped nearly 30%, indicating reduced trader activity. Amid this bearish trend, Grayscale’s staking ETF offers a twist: investors can stake tokens for rewards, potentially attracting validators and boosting SUI’s DeFi ecosystem. However, challenges remain—Total Value Locked has fallen to $580 million, and 43.35 million SUI tokens unlock on March 1, risking further volatility and a potential drop to $0.70. The ETF’s ability to revive SUI’s ecosystem is uncertain under current pressures.

XRP Has Toppled Ethereum In This Category And Is Now Gunning For Bitcoin

XRP has surpassed Ethereum to become the second most discussed cryptocurrency among institutional investors, trailing only Bitcoin, according to Grayscale's Head of Research. This heightened interest is reflected in significant inflows into XRP ETFs, which have accumulated over $1 billion in net assets. Despite a broader market downturn, these funds saw $46.69 million in net inflows this month, while Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs experienced outflows. Major firms like Goldman Sachs have invested in XRP ETFs. Analysts attribute this demand to anticipation of regulatory clarity, potentially from the upcoming CLARITY Act. Year-to-date, XRP funds lead with $148 million in inflows, outperforming Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana. XRP's price is currently around $1.47.

BlackRock sets 0.25% fee for staked Ethereum ETF – Details

BlackRock has filed an updated proposal with the SEC for its iShares Staked Ethereum Trust, detailing a layered fee structure for investors. The ETF will charge a 0.25% annual sponsor fee, with a temporary discount to 0.12% on the first $2.5 billion in assets. Additionally, BlackRock will take 18% of the staking rewards generated. The fund plans to stake 70% to 90% of its Ethereum holdings to earn yield while keeping the remainder liquid to handle redemptions and expenses. This move follows Grayscale, which became the first U.S. issuer to distribute staking rewards in cash to shareholders. Amid these developments, Ethereum has seen significant ETF inflows and price volatility, with market sentiment indicating potential for a major price movement.

SUI trades below $1 as institutional access expands via staked ETFs

Despite the launch of two new staked SUI exchange-traded products from Canary Capital (SUIS) and Grayscale (GSUI) on February 18th, the price of SUI continued to trade below $1, around $0.95. These products are designed to provide institutional investors with regulated exposure to the asset while capturing staking rewards. However, the market reaction was muted, with SUI's price remaining under pressure and near its lowest levels since late 2023. The lack of immediate positive price action suggests that broader market conditions and a focus on long-term accumulation, rather than short-term speculation, are currently outweighing the impact of the new investment vehicles.

Grayscale files spot AAVE ETF – Sparks institutional shift narrative

In February 2026, Grayscale filed with the SEC to convert its Grayscale Aave Trust into a spot AAVE ETF, proposing a 2.5% sponsor fee and listing on NYSE Arca with Coinbase as custodian. This move signaled growing institutional interest in AAVE, despite uncertain approval. Concurrently, AAVE showed strong market recovery: its price rebounded over 22% to around $128, Open Interest doubled to $237M, and weekly active addresses returned to late-2024 levels. The token reclaimed its ascending support, with key resistance between $148–$180. A sustained break above could open further institutional doors, aligning AAVE closer to Ethereum and Bitcoin in market attention.

Grayscale Files to List Aave ETF on NYSE Arca

Grayscale has filed with the SEC to convert its Aave Trust into an ETF, to be listed on NYSE Arca under the ticker "GAVE." The proposed fund would hold AAVE tokens directly and charge a 2.5% sponsor fee. This move signals continued institutional interest in altcoins and decentralized finance, despite recent market volatility. Aave is the largest decentralized lending protocol by total value locked, with over $27 billion across multiple blockchains. Grayscale joins Bitwise, which filed for a similar Aave ETF in December, in seeking regulatory approval. If approved, this would be one of the first U.S.-listed ETFs offering direct exposure to Aave, expanding access for investors preferring regulated products.

Bitcoin Spot ETFs Register $360M In Net Outflows, Extend 4-Week Red Streak

US Bitcoin Spot ETFs extended their outflow streak to four consecutive weeks, with a net withdrawal of $359.91 million in the second week of February. This brings total outflows for 2026 to $2.28 billion, reflecting persistent institutional caution amid Bitcoin's price volatility. While the week started with $311.56 million in net inflows, sentiment shifted mid-week with significant outflows from major issuers. BlackRock's IBIT led the outflows at $234.65 million, followed by Fidelity's FBTC at $124.73 million. Grayscale's GBTC also saw redemptions, though its secondary product, Grayscale BTC, attracted $110.08 million in inflows. Despite the short-term outflows, the total net assets for all Bitcoin spot ETFs remain strong at approximately $87 billion, with cumulative net inflows since their 2024 launch at $54.33 billion. Bitcoin was trading at $69,479 at the time of reporting.

Grayscale Moves to Convert AAVE Trust Into ETF

Grayscale has filed with the SEC to convert its AAVE Trust into a spot ETF to be listed on NYSE Arca, continuing its strategy of bringing crypto products into regulated structures. The Aave protocol is a leading DeFi lending platform, and its native token, AAVE, has a market cap of around $1.8 billion. This move reflects growing institutional interest in DeFi. If approved, the ETF would charge a 2.5% sponsor fee and use Coinbase for custody, allowing traditional investors to gain exposure to AAVE without directly managing tokens. Grayscale's effort follows its successful conversion of its Bitcoin Trust into an ETF, though Bitwise also filed for similar AAVE-related products in December.

Cardano loses top-10 spot as price hits 3-year low – What should traders do next?

Cardano (ADA) has fallen out of the top 10 cryptocurrencies by market capitalization, losing its position to Bitcoin Cash (BCH) for the first time since 2021. The altcoin’s price dropped to a three-year low, revisiting levels last seen during the November 2022 FTX crash. Despite a brief market resurgence, ADA underperformed, declining while other assets rallied. Transaction counts have shown some recovery but remain below historical averages. Technically, ADA has been in a bear market since late 2024 and is testing a critical support zone around $0.22. A breakdown below this level could signal further declines. On a positive note, Grayscale increased its ADA holdings in its smart contract fund from 18.50% to 19.55%, suggesting institutional accumulation at current prices. While this may indicate a potential reversal point, the overall outlook remains uncertain, with both bullish and bearish possibilities in play.
