We see a trend of buying the dip this morning. As of the latest close on February 12, 2026, U.S.-listed crypto ETFs finished broadly lower, reflecting yesterday’s pullback in underlying digital assets. Bitcoin ETFs declined an average of 1.66% on the day, though they remain up 5.87% over the past week. Despite the daily price weakness, the group saw net inflows of approximately $162 million, indicating continued investor demand on dips. Among the largest products, IBIT closed at $38.29 (-1.74%), FBTC at $58.82 (-1.80%), and GBTC at $52.67 (-1.79%), with flows concentrated in the major spot vehicles.
Ethereum ETFs underperformed slightly, falling an average of 2.99% on the day, while maintaining a 4.98% one-week gain. The category recorded more modest but still positive net inflows of roughly $18.5 million, suggesting selective positioning amid recent volatility in ETH prices.
Solana-focused ETFs experienced the sharpest pressure, declining an average of 4.23%, with approximately $9.8 million in net inflows. XRP ETFs were comparatively resilient, down 1.58% on average, and notably remain up more than 20% over the past week, accompanied by approximately $1.1 million in daily inflows.
Overall, while price action across crypto ETFs reflected short-term weakness, flow data indicates continued capital deployment—particularly into Bitcoin products—highlighting ongoing institutional engagement despite recent volatility.
Cryptocurrency markets are trading higher, with total market capitalization rising 2.1% to $2.39 trillion, recovering from the prior evening’s decline. The rebound reflects broad-based strength across major Layer-1 assets and select mid-cap tokens, signaling renewed short-term risk appetite following yesterday’s late-session weakness.
Bitcoin is up 1.8% to $67,808, while Ethereum gains 2.8% to $1,990, both stabilizing after recent pullbacks. Among other Layer-1 networks, BNB (+4.7%), Cardano (+5.4%), Avalanche (+4.6%), and Polkadot (+4.9%) are posting solid advances. Hedera stands out with a 9.2% gain to $0.10, building on improving weekly momentum. Solana is modestly higher at $81.69 (+1.3%), rebounding from yesterday’s decline.
In DeFi, performance is broadly constructive, led by Filecoin (+7.1%), Uniswap (+4.4%), Aave (+4.4%), and Chainlink (+3.8%). Cronos is up 4.2%, extending its recent stabilization trend. Within the metaverse segment, Internet Computer (+6.7%) and The Sandbox (+7.4%) are leading gains, while performance elsewhere remains mixed but generally improved from the prior session.
Among notable movers, Aster continues to demonstrate strong momentum, rising 13.9% over the past 24 hours and 36.2% over the past week. Bittensor has rebounded sharply (+8.3%) after appearing among yesterday’s notable decliners, suggesting dip-buying activity in higher-beta names. Notably, there are no major decliners in this morning’s report, reinforcing the constructive tone.
Overall, the market is exhibiting signs of short-term stabilization with broad participation in gains and recovery in total market capitalization. While weekly trends for several large-cap assets remain modestly negative, the overnight rebound indicates improving sentiment heading into today’s session.
