Crypto exchange-traded funds (ETFs) regained momentum during the second week of December, with bitcoin and ether snapping recent volatility to post solid weekly inflows. Solana and XRP extended their streaks, underscoring selective but resilient investor demand.
Bitcoin ETFs: Capital Rotates Back In
Bitcoin spot ETFs recorded $286.60 million in net inflows for the week, marking a decisive shift after a choppy start. Blackrock’s IBIT was the clear anchor, despite early outflows, strong additions later in the week lifted IBIT to a net weekly inflow of $214.10 million. Fidelity’s FBTC experienced the widest swings: heavy redemptions early in the week were more than offset by a massive $198.85 million inflow on Tuesday, leaving FBTC with net inflows of $84.47 million. Grayscale’s Bitcoin Mini Trust quietly stabilized with $22.82 million, although GBTC finished negative at -$38.76 million. Other positive contributions came from Bitwise BITB ($24.66M), Franklin EZBC ($8.09M) and Invesco BTCO ($6.50M). However, VanEck’s HODL saw a -$25.14 million exit, and Ark & 21Shares’ ARKB recorded -$11.12 million.
Ether ETFs: Momentum Builds Gradually
Ether spot ETFs posted $208.94 million in net inflows, their strongest weekly showing in over three weeks. Blackrock’s ETHA led decisively, pulling in $138.65 million across the week. Fidelity’s FETH ended the week in the green with $35.35 million, despite midweek redemptions. Grayscale’s Ether Mini Trust rebounded with $32.80 million, but its ETHE fund closed negative at -$34.17 million. Bitwise ETHW, VanEck ETHV and 21Shares TETH each added $17.91M, $14.64M and $3.75M respectively.
Solana ETFs: Quiet Strength Across the Board
Solana spot ETFs delivered $37.20 million in net inflows, with none of the seven funds posting weekly outflows — a notable show of consistency. Bitwise’s BSOL remained the leader at $15.90 million, while Grayscale GSOL and Fidelity FSOL added $8.73M and $8.40M each. Smaller but steady contributions came from VanEck VSOL ($3.06M) and Franklin SOEZ ($1.12M), reinforcing Solana’s position as the most stable inflow story among major altcoin ETFs.
XRP ETFs: Demand Holds Firm
XRP spot ETFs extended their winning streak with $93.57 million in weekly inflows. Franklin’s XRPZ led decisively at $50.27 million, while Bitwise XRP ($25.44M), Canary XRPC ($11.40M) and Grayscale GXRP ($6.82M) all recorded consistent daily additions. Five consecutive weeks of inflows now point to sustained institutional positioning in XRP-linked products.
The Dec. 8–12 week marked a clear stabilization phase for crypto ETFs. Bitcoin and ether reclaimed positive footing, solana maintained remarkable consistency, and XRP continued to build quiet momentum, setting a steadier tone heading deeper into December.
