Bitcoin ETF outflows accelerated on January 8th, with net withdrawals hitting $398.95 million—a notable shift in institutional positioning. Ethereum followed suit, seeing $159.17 million leave the funds as investors rotated their holdings. Meanwhile, Solana bucked the trend with $13.64 million flowing in, suggesting selective buying interest in altcoin exposure. The divergence across major crypto assets reflects the market's current uncertainty and varying risk appetite across different segments of the investor base.

Institutions are running away, but SOL is actually attracting funds. This wave of divergence is quite interesting.

Are institutions running? Or are they accumulating at low levels? How many times has this trick been played?

BTC is dropping so sharply that institutions are also fleeing, but some are still buying the dip in SOL. This divergence is truly unprecedented.

According to on-chain data, large withdrawals of BTC and ETH, but SOL is attracting funds in the opposite direction? I've seen this tactic before, a typical fund transfer arbitrage. It's obvious, everyone. Institutions are shifting blame, retail investors are bottom-fishing. An interesting pattern. Wait, the number $398.95M is too precise. Track it through multiple addresses, and I suspect there are players quietly accumulating SOL behind the scenes. No, no, I already guessed this. Such divergence phenomena are definitely driven by large orders behind the scenes. Hmm... After analysis and judgment, funds are shifting from Tier 1 to Tier 2, a standard risk-avoidance pattern has been activated, and the target addresses have already been locked in.
