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, with a net weekly inflow of $214.10 million. Fidelity’s FBTC experienced wide swings but ended with $84.47 million net inflows, helped by a massive $198.85 million single-day inflow on Tuesday. Grayscale’s Bitcoin Mini Trust added $22.82 million, while its GBTC fund saw a -$38.76 million exit. Other positive contributors included Bitwise’s BITB ($24.66M), Franklin’s EZBC ($8.09M), Invesco’s BTCO ($6.50M). On the negative side, VanEck’s HODL shed -$25.14 million and Ark & 21Shares’ ARKB lost -$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 with $138.65 million. Fidelity’s FETH ended the week in the green at $35.35 million. Grayscale’s Ether Mini Trust rebounded with $32.80 million, but its ETHE fund closed negative at -$34.17 million. Bitwise’s ETHW ($17.91M), VanEck’s ETHV ($14.64M), and 21Shares’ TETH ($3.75M) all finished the week in the green.
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. Bitwise’s BSOL remained the leader at $15.90 million, while Grayscale’s GSOL and Fidelity’s FSOL added $8.73 million and $8.40 million respectively. Smaller but steady contributions came from VanEck’s VSOL ($3.06M) and Franklin’s 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 with $50.27 million, while Bitwise’s XRP ($25.44M), Canary’s XRPC ($11.40M), and Grayscale’s 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.
